Susan Boyle takes America by storm

Susan Boyle
Susan Boyle is already the bookies’ favourite to win this year’s Britain’s Got Talent, even though the series started only a week ago. Her audition has had more than 12 million hits on YouTube and the 47-year-old church volunteer from Blackburn in Scotland has appeared on several TV channels in the US this week, such is her popularity. But Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell warned that the competition was not a one-horse race, telling the BBC there were several other talented acts that viewers had not yet seen.
