Susan is our Eva Peron
Virgin churchgoer storms into final after show-stopping performance
SINGING sensation Susan Boyle stormed into the Britain's Got Talent final - after Amanda Holden told her she was "turning into Eva Peron".
The Scottish singer - dubbed "The Hairy Angel" won the public vote as an estimated 14 million viewers watched her show-stopping version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats song Memory.
She earned a standing ovation from both the judges and the audience for her pitch-perfect rendition.
Judge Amanda Holden said she was biting all her acrylic nails off as Susan came to perform, adding: "You are turning in Eva Peron. I am just so relieved that it went so well for you."
Fellow judge Piers Morgan said: "I think you look beautiful tonight. And more importantly, you sang beautifully as well."
While Simon Cowell APOLOGISED to Susan. He said: I just want to apologise because the way we treated you before you first sang... you made me and everyone else look stupid."
Essex dancers Diversity join Susan in the final - after judges voted to put them through instead of 10-year-old Natalie Okri.
Also missing out on a place in the finals was "vixen violinist" Sue Son, dancer Darth Jackson, belly dancer Julia Naidenko, driller Nick Hell and Comedy duo Faces of Disco.

i was in support of susan boyle.
i admire her for her strength that she had to pull up during this what should have been excitng and wonderful moment in her life. i am stunned she did not win .
although i do believe that diversity was extremely talented but there is no comparison in my opinion susan boyle is the real thing. I hope to see her lots more.
thanks for your time and i also must say i appriciate simon and the rest of the gang for reminding the world sometime we underestimate people and they may very well be fabulous and unique such as susan boyle .
