I dont know about American idol but it was not a fix for Britains got talent. There is no way that anyone could say that susan Boyle had more talent than any of the other 9 contestants in BGT finals. She is a nice woman but her talent is decidedly average. All the other singers on the show actually could sing and did sing better than susan boyle . The dancers were just incredible. Diversity had just amazing creativity taking street dance to a whole new level that is slick and entertaining and inspiring and funny and truly brilliant. Britain returned an honest and none hyped verdict. Diversity had virtually no media attention no youtube propaganda, no movie star endorsements, just pure talent. And thats what the show ought to be about. I am sure we have not seen the last of susan Boyle but i am proud that the British people actually rejected the hype and false headlines and manufactured ' wow' in favour of what they truly thought was amazing.
