Boyle sings in “Britain’s Got Talent” finals
LONDON — The lady has sung. But has she won?
Susan Boyle faced the music for the final time Saturday, performing in the finals of “Britain’s Got Talent.”
The 48-year-old internet sensation and Scottish church volunteer sang “I Dreamed A Dream” from the musical “Les Miserables,” and received a standing ovation from the audience and judges.
It was the song she chose for her initial audition in April.
But now she faces a public vote, and she won’t know until 10 p.m. local time (5 p.m. EDT) whether she or one of the other nine competitors has triumphed.
The winner receives a 100,000 pound ($159,000) prize and the chance to perform before Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Variety Show.
