BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT

SUSAN BOYLE BECOMES SCOTLAND'S NEW INTERNET SENSATION!

A 47-year-old church volunteer from West Lothian has become an unlikely overnight singing sensation with millions watching her perform online. Susan Boyle, from Blackburn, stunned judges on ITV's Britain's Got Talent with her performance of I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables on Saturday. Since then Hollywood actress Demi Moore has joined the legions of fans who have voiced their support on the internet. Ms Boyle has now become the bookies' favourite to win the talent show.

Ms Boyle, who told viewers she had "never been kissed", said she had always wanted to be a singer. She said: "I entered the competition because I wanted to have a chance at my singing. "I found it very nerve-wracking to begin with but once I settled down and began to sing, I thought that the audience accepted me a bit more. Then I sort of relaxed and began to enjoy it.

Ms Boyle, who is currently unemployed, is a keen church-goer and community worker who is well-known for her Karaoke performances. She said: "It all began for me at age 12, when I used to sing in choirs and school concerts. Then after that when I got older I was singing in clubs."

SUSAN BOYLE-MANIA is gripping the Internet with millions of fans desperate to find out all they can about the Scots singing sensation. Her shock popularity is growing bigger by the day with at least three dedicated new fans sites and more 70 groups on Facebook being set up in her honour in under a week. And her “musician” profile on Facebook, set up by an ardent fan, has over 10,000 fans already just days after she appeared in hit TV show Britain’s Got Talent. That’s on top of the 5.5 MILLION views she’s had on YouTube. Click here to watch her outstanding performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY
