After 6 weeks of waiting, the world finally heard Susan Boyle sing again.

Hello I’m Charlotte Bellis and thanks for clicking on Newsy.com

If you haven’t seen Susan Boyle sing -- you may be one of the few.

She advanced to the finals of Britain’s hit TV show “Britain’s Got Talent.”

Here’s a YouTube clip of her latest performance, singing “Memory” from the musical Cats

She’s broken all internet records -- with some 220 million streams of her singing…

So who will win - “Britain’s Got Talent”?

For that perspective -- let’s go to Gambling 911 ---

The site says bet on Boyle, and talked to an expert from the website William Hill…

“’There is no better bet than Boyle!’.  On paper, Susan cannot lose and we are even betting on who will play her in a Hollywood blockbuster’"

But not everyone thinks Boyle had a perfect performance.   A television columnist for the Huffington Post says her song choice...

“… was the wrong melody for her to sing because it requires a high soprano with a delicate voice…and (she) suffered when she hit the upper levels, especially at the beginning, which sounded squeaky and tinny and at times slightly off key.”

From the mind of a television expert -- from that of a viewer -- The Morning Call hears from a high school sophomore.. who simply says… Boyle is a refreshing change from a superficial society.

“Her story points out that judging people, specifically women, by their looks has become a sad but growing trend in society…The success of Susan Boyle, however, hopefully means that society might be changing, and the industry might be more accepting.”

Finally, you might think the online success is a good thing for the TV show Britain’s Got Talent, but Times Online brings us a different perspective. Bottom line on the YouTube video…

“…all that extra online exposure earned Cowell and ITV, which screens the show, not a penny. And ITV cannot afford to miss chances to make money. The broadcaster recently announced that it lost £2.7 billion last year after write-offs of assets.”
