A combined 4.8 million viewers watched the broadcast and its immediate encore Sunday. That reflected record growth among the network’s key demographics, and a triple-digit percentage increase among adults 25-to-54.
Update: 1/17/2010 Susan Boyle continues to amaze and please both her critics and fans. Even in this digital age where younger people are a click away on their idevices from downloading the latest songs or CD’s, Susan Boyle has held strong even though hardly anyone is downloading digital versions. Susan’s fan base wants to hold the CD, they want to proudly display it in their collection. Susan we love you. You are the one the world has been waiting for to sing Judy Garlands Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Susan you can do it and your fans want it. We all want to be able to “see” the emotion in your eyes when you sing, “where dreams really do come true”.
It appears that Britain suffers from the same problem that we recently did in America. They, for some unknown reason, voted politically correct rather than the obvious, very suspicious, just like our last election here in America. We will never know the truth.
Just a few minutes ago reporting hacks like Lyndsey Parker in Reality Rocks made an embarrassing attempt on her part to try and analyze why Susan Boyle lost. She confused the hype around Adam Lambert that was molded by agents with the true sponataneous outpouring of support from everyone around the world for Susan Boyle. Do some homework next time Lyndsey before you try and understand the Boyle Factor in a given situation. An education would be an outstanding start.
Susan Boyle overcame the pressure and the jealousy of the media to move the hearts of Great Britain. But something was amiss and the voting seemed highly suspicious. She already won before even stepping foot on the stage, in fact Susan won the very first night with her rendition of I Dreamed a Dream. She had little competition from the others even though some talent was visible. The issue was the pressure of BGT to keep the so diverse and politically correct. The much to do about nothing little boy singer with the name that no one can remember or pronoun was there to balance out the look of the show. Unfortunately for everyone else on the show is that all the planet recognized and admired the talent of Susan Boyle from day one.
The media had attempted to paint Susan Boyle in an unfavorable light, I won’t even address the comments of the media mafia, they were just plain lying and spinning the story to hear themselves talk.
Susan congratulations, WE LOVE YOU. Best of luck before the Queen, hopefully the white queen has enough class to invite Susan Boyle privately, and we look forward to your album if you choose to share your beautiful voice with the world. I know this writer will be first in line to buy one.

Susan Boyle sings I Dreamed a Dream on Britain’s Got Talent.
By the way, I purchased her album, OUTSTANDING, can’t wait for the next one.
Up to 10 million viewers are expected to see her appearance on the hit daytime programme with Oprah
The 48 year-old singer will appear, via satellite, on the special episode of Oprah, called The World’s Got Talent.
However, Simon Cowell and producers of the ITV talent show want Boyle to save her voice for the semi finals, according to reports.
They are also reportedly concerned that rivals will think the appearance on the US chat show will give her an unfair advantage.
Up to 10 million viewers are expected to see her appearance on the hit daytime programme.
The special show will feature acts from some of the 40 countries where the show is filmed, including last years Britain’s Got Talent contestants, Signature.
Cowell is also expected to be interviewed by Oprah, according to The Daily Mirror.
Boyle has been watched by millions of internet viewers since she first stunned judges with her rendition of I Dreamed A Dream from the musical Les Misèrables.
It has turned her into a global phenomenon with celebrity fans including the actress Demi Moore.
She has already appeared on several US TV programmes including Larry King Live, the veteran interviewer’s CNN show.
Boyle remains favourite to win Britain’s Got Talent but faces competition from fellow singer Jamie Pugh, the Welsh pizza delivery man who overcame stage fright to sing a tune from Les Misèrables. However, his chances were dealt a blow when it was disclosed that he had sung in a West End theatre before, contradicting his claim that he had never performed before a large crowd.
I would absolutely love to hear Susan Boyle sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I can image her singing the line, “where dreams really do come true”, with such passion and yet a deep loneliness because her mother isn’t here to share it with her. I hope she has someone special to share her life with.
