World-renowned Britain's Got Talent contestant Susan Boyle failed to win her reality competition this season, falling to dance troupe Diversity in the finals.
The acrobatic group's performance was described by judge Simon Cowell as "utter perfection."
"If I had to give marks on that, that is the only performance tonight I would want to give a 10 to," Cowell said.

I saw that it cost to call in votes on BGT. Seems fairly obvious to me that Susan's fans didn't bother to spend the money to vote, because they thought she had it (and she should have) but the supporters of others wanted them to do as well as they could, and maybe make 2nd or 3rd. So, susan lost.
I wonder what is wrong with British people,dont they know ,what is arth if they see one! Love susan Boyle. she is great.She shud it wan.
Guest said .. "Susan Boyle is an average singer." Have you listened to her two songs recorded ( professionally ) 10 years ago? Have you compared her "Dreamed a dream" with other live renditions from professional artists ( available on Youtube )? If you have, fair enough. If not, try it, you will be disabused of your opinion.
Susan Boyle is an average singer. She's not cut out for fame or the big leagues. She sings in tune. So what? You can't even put her on the same level as Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey and Allison Iraheta! Thousands of church singers are just as good, if not substantially better. They haven't had the benefit of the international exposure. Boyle was put in the spotlight specifically because she's physically unattractive, and the voice surprised people. She doesn't have the "voice of an angel." She's a simple-minded autistic person whose singing lacks emotion and interpretation. Just the way she threw down her fists on one phrase (inappropriate choice) of her final performance was indicative of her lack of awareness. She was always ahead of the beat... again because she really isn't a singer. She's robotic, a mimic... without her own style. Let's all get back to reality here and take her off the pedestal.
Susan Boyle is proof that Nature plays no favourites! Many people admire her and would be interested to follow up on her successes because she is a symbol of hope in our present generation. However, the long gown she wore at the final competition made her look 20 yrs older. They should try to make her look 10 yrs younger.
