Susan Boyle may have finished second, but she is a clear winner in the eyes of many around the world. Boyle sang the same song “I Dreamed A Dream” from Les Miserables, which made her famous the first time. But when results were announced, a dance troupe called “Diversity” was pronounced winner. For her final song, Boyle wore a sparkling gown and after she sang her song, the three judges and the audience gave her a standing ovation. Simon Cowell praised her for performing well despite having a troubled week and for answering her critics soundly. Boyle charmed tens of millions of fans around the world. Her rise to Cinderella stardom is stunning; and in the eyes of many television viewers she is a big winner.
