Susan Boyle “Britain’s Got Talent” “Memory” Performance VIDEO (05/23/09)
The Hairy Angel has done it again. Susan Boyle became an Internet smash last month after her stirring performance of “I Dreamed A Dream” on Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) — and now to the delight of fans and judges, the 48-year-old lifelong bachelorette from Blackburn, Scotland, has secured a spot in the show’s finale after belting out the subdued showtune “Memory,” from the musical Cats.
Members of the public voting in a telephone poll picked her as the best of the eight performers who appeared Sunday.
The shy — and sometimes odd — Susan will sing her heart one more time when BGT wraps up its current season with a finale next Saturday, May 30. The winner will perform at Britain’s annual Royal Variety Show — attended by members of the royal family — and win a 100,000 pound ($159,000) prize.
