She was gracious in defeat

Susan Boyle will not be performing for the Queen at the Royal Variety Show. That honour now belongs to the Dance Group "Diversity" who were crowned "Britain's Got Talent 2009" Winners.

She was gracious in defeat saying "The best act won!"

That didn't stop Susan giving us a turn as she danced off the stage, perhaps relieved that after seven weeks of waiting, the pressure on her was finally over.

Julian Smith, who came third was thankful for the opportunity that the show afforded him. We hope that it won't be long before we see him again.

Watch this space, as we will have more news on Susan as time goes by.

Why Susan Boyle's Success Terrifies Me -

By Becky Pugh Last Updated: 12:08PM BST 22 Apr 2009

A star is born. Susan Boyle: a tonic for the nation. Dreams can come true. She has the talent to conquer the world. Simple Susie Superstar. Every time I read a headline lauding Susan Boyle's extraordinary and unlikely gift of a voice, I feel more and more uncomfortable.

I am as much to blame for my sense of unease as the next person. Last week, I rode the crest of the wave with everybody else. I had Boyle's YouTube clip permanently on my screen. I discussed her at length with my friends and colleagues. It was thrilling to see somebody for whom life has dealt so many blows experience a moment of sheer triumph. Her voice was powerful, her song choice poignant, her pride moving.

Britain's Got Talent finds an unlikely superstarFor once the phrase "overnight sensation" was not just hyperbole. Her performance has grabbed the attention of 100 million YouTube viewers (which, by the way, is 80 million more than Obama's inauguration speech has attracted). Demi Moore was so moved by the voice of the "hairy angel" that she wept. Simon Cowell wants to sign her to his label. She made the front page of The Washington Post. Oprah invited Boyle on to her show. Jay Leno dressed up as her on Saturday Night Live. Piers Morgan asked her out to dinner. Elaine Paige suggested recording a duet with her. The consensus was that the competition is Boyle's.

Christopher Biggins Begs Susan Not To Change Her Appearance!

Christopher Biggins has begged Britain's Got Talent hopeful Susan Boyle not to change her appearance. - The Press Association.

The star is a big fan of the Scottish singing sensation - who wowed the judges and the public with her rendition of I Dreamed A Dream - and urged: "Please, please don't change the way you look!"

The bubbly panto star went on: "Just stay exactly as you are because that's what we love about you - and that fantastic voice, it's wonderful!"

Biggins, who won I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2007, thinks the singer's transatlantic fame is "marvellous".

"I love Susan," he said. "She's got an extraordinary talent. It's amazing that suddenly at the age of 48, she has reached this international stardom."

But it wasn't just Susan that caught the 60-year-old's eye on the TV talent show.

He also backed saxophonist Julian Smith, who impressed the judges with a rendition of Somewhere from West Side Story. Biggins raved: "I thought he was absolutely fantastic and very moving - an inspiration to all people who want to make music their career. He's a marvellous, handsome man, father of two children, with a gorgeous wife. I think it's wonderful he's reaching his ambition."

Fred O'Neil, a professional singer who taught Miss Boyle until she gave up lessons when her mother died, said that the Britain's Got Talent media machine could stifle her and was obscuring "the real person" he knew.

While he welcomed her phenomenal success, with tens of millions of fans viewing footage of her on performance on the internet, he warned that she might not have time to nurture her talent.

Well I'm a fan and I want to see Susan go further. I'll be bringing you more videos and news as it happens.

Watch this space!! I am not going to post the video here, as I am sure it will break copyright as all of the videos have "Embedding disabled by request".
