Susan Boyle Finishes Second

Susan Boyle did not win on Saturday's Britain's Got Talent finale. But, even though she came in second to a 10 person dance troupe called Diversity, it's Susan Boyle who is getting the attention with the winners being mentioned deep into the articles about Susan Boyle not winning.

In other words, even though Susan Boyle lost, she won.

For her finale song Ms. Boyle sang the song that turned her into a world-wide YouTube Internet sensation, "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables.

In Susan's hometown of Blackburn, Scotland, about 10 miles west of Edinburgh, the locals put up signs of support and went to viewing parties where her second place finish was greeted with shouts of "no."

Ms. Boyle took the loss well, after a week of publicity regarding how stressed out she was from all the pressure, she gave a little curtsy, shimmied her hips and walked off the stage.

I suspect this is not the last the world will hear from Susan Boyle.
