Will Susan Boyle Sing Last Tomorrow Night?

Tomorrow night sees the first live semi-final of this years Britain’s Got Talent and due to appear are:
Susan Boyle - singer
Sue Son – violinist
Nick Hell – extreme street performer
Darth Jackson – impersonator
Julia Naidenko - belly dancer
Diversity – dance group
Faces of Disco – Comedy impersonators
Natalie Okri – singer
Susan Boyle appeared in the first BGT audition show, way back in April and has since taken the world by storm. Her performance of I Dreamed A Dream has been mentioned in every national newspaper and many international, she has even had a spot on Oprah for goodness sake. So with all this exposure and coverage there is no way that Cowell and Co will want to lose Boyle from the show.
When they favour an act so heavily you will often find that the production team will award them with the final slot of the evening. If they perform last they are fresh in the public’s mind when the voting lines open and if you look at these American Idol stats you will see just how ‘lucky’ the last performer is. With this in mind it is fairly likely that Susan will close the show tomorrow night and I think she is a shoe in for the final, its a foregone conclusion really.

Why do you say that Susan Boyle is “by no means exceptional” in her talent when obviously she is exceptional? I found myself comparing her rendition of “I Dreamed the Dream” with that of other well-known artists who have sung it and find that Susan’s rendition is more clean, straightfoward, emotional and effective. The problem with saying that it’s “all about the story” is that the story is in the music. She has been very smart in how she chose the music for her audition as well as for the semi-final. She sings with great conviction and beauty. It’s about her, it’s about her story, and it’s about her singing. I cannot understand the nay-sayers given what she’s accomplshed.
