That said, I thought Diversity were amazing. We haven't seen the last of Susan Boyle. I think she'll be like the Carrie Prejean of Britain's Got Talent, not because of a made-up "scandal" but because she'll end up winning by losing. Diversity will most likely end up performing in videos and stage shows. Susan Boyle will be the one who's remembered and will walk off with the $$$. I think the public got tired of the overexposure. And as far as blaming the press for her loss, barring the extensive media coverage of her audition most of the world would never have heard of her.

And the press played a major role. The dance troupe? Yes, they were good, flashy. Susan Boyle? Utterly amazing. That voice is to die for. And like the American woman denied her rightly win, Susan Boyle lost with grace and dignity intact. She has a grand future in any case. I cannot believe the world will be denied that amazing voice. The parallels are very weird. This is like deja vu all over again: the most talented and inspiring participant lost. And the press played a major role.
