America’s Got Talent: 2009 Winner, a Loser? Susan Boyle vs Rolling Stones

Published September 17th, 2009 by Karen

ABOVE: Seriously, do you trust this man to select the most talented person in America?

With American Idol on break until the new season gets under way, how in the world are people supposed to know who America’s most talented undiscovered stars are?

Don’t worry, you don’t need to make your own decisions—TV has all the answers!

Wednesday night America’s Got Talent crowned a new million dollar winner.

Unfortunately, now that we’ve seen the winning performance (below), we think this might be the lamest show ever—Special guest star Susan “Makeover” Boyle’s snooze-tacular version of “Wild Horses” didn’t help matters. We think Paul McCartney put her up to this…

(BELOW: Watch Susan Boyle’s performance of the Rolling Stones ballad “Wild Horses.”) Continue reading »

Internet singing spectacle Susan Boyle was a no show last night, but intends to rejoin the “Britain’s Got Talent” tour tonight, according to an Associated Press report.

According to the AP, a spokeswoman for the show said that the 48-year-old Scottish singer took a break yesterday, but is scheduled to perform in Glasgow on Monday night. “She had one rest day, but she will be back on stage tonight,” the spokeswoman was quoted as saying, adding that she expected Boyle to take part in the rest of the tour, which runs until early July.

Boyle became a household name when her first appearance on “Britain’s Got Talent” was seen by millions on YouTube. However, the church volunteer was hospitalized for “exhaustion” after coming in second place in the competition, leading many to speculate on her mental fitness to be a professional singer.

Boyle has received standing ovations at other stops on the “Britain’s Got Talent” tour in Birmingham and Sheffield, England.

"Glad to see that she is doing better and I wish her all the happiness she deserves in her career. I only caught a glimpse of her musical performance..."

The brother of “Britain’s Got Talent” contestant Susan Boyle said his sister has checked out of a mental health clinic and is doing fine, according to an Associated Press report.

Gerry Boyle told a British television station today that his sister has been released from the London clinic. She was admitted Sunday, after coming in second place in the “Britain’s Got Talent” television show. He said his sister suffered from an anxiety attack but now seems “a lot more like herself.”

Boyle further told GMTV that his sister is looking forward to working with Simon Cowell, who signed the singer to his record label and is confident she’ll have a successful recording career.

In eight weeks, the frumpy Boyle went from the quiet life of a church volunteer in a small town in Scotland to global fame, thanks to a performance on “Britain’s Got Talent” that stunned the world for its beauty and was downloaded on YouTube about 200 million times.

"Yeah, I think this was just to stressful for her."

Susan Boyle Undergoes Makeover

We knew it was only a matter of time.

According to an Associated Press report, Susan Boyle, who was recently discovered on the TV show “Britain’s Got Talent” and became a singing sensation overnight on the Internet, has undergone her first makeover.

According to the news service, Boyle, 47, had her graying, frizzy hair dyed chestnut brown and styled in what a British tabloid described as a 35-pound ($50) makeover. And instead of the frumpy dress she wore on”Britain’s Got Talent,” the Scottish singer was photographed wearing a stylish black leather jacket with what looked to be a Burberry scarf.

Of course, when Boyle was asked on Larry King Live a few days earlier if she would change her looks, her answer was “Why should I change?” Apparently, Boyle, or most likely a pack of newfound “advisors,” counseled her otherwise. Judges of “Britain’s Got Talent” will decide whether Boyle gets through to the next round on May 23.
