Susan Boyle came on to the stage on tonight’s Britain’s Got talent semi-final to a rapturous applause. The audience were delighted to see her and if we are honest she was probably the main reason most of us tuned in.

So when she launched into her performance of ‘Memories’ from Cats I found myself beginning to wonder what all the fuss was about. I’m not sure if it was just a bad song choice or if the Susan Boyle phenomenon was always about the story and not the singer. Susan hit more than few flat notes during the song and was so unimpressive that I was shocked and very disappointed when Simon and Co gushed over her so enthusiastically.

I am going to have to go and look up the video of her original performance and make sure that she actually could sing back then. Was it always just about the bad dress, frumpy appearance and bushy eyebrows? The worst thing is that after she got through tonight’s stage and did her funky little dance on stage, she stands a pretty good chance of winning this show on Saturday.
