There’s no shame in being the second best talent in Britain and Susan Boyle was gracious in defeat.
In last night’s final she sang I Dreamed a Dream, the song she’d sung in her audition.
She has not only dreamed a dream, she’s helped other people dream too.
And while she hasn’t won Britain’s Got Talent, she has launched her own career.
A video of her final performance is here.
The winner was Diversity.
Saxaphonist Julian Smith came third.

Long after Diversity have been forgotten — starting about now — Susan Boyle will be remembered as the sensation of the contest. I’ll buy any CDs she records. That was the voice of some sort of angel.
