Susan Boyle, a 47-year-old singleton from a small village in Scotland, who’s never been kissed and lives with her kitty named Pebbles, shocked the “Britain’s Got Talent” audience and the judges with her performance of  “I Dreamed a Dream.” Interesting, she may not be a virgin for long, with all this media attention.

Britain’s Got Talent

If you missed seeing this, be prepared to laugh and cry. What a plucky little gal. It took some major gumption to get up there and face those snickering people and snarky judges.

The Wall Street Journal reports that as of 11 a.m. EST Thursday, the YouTube video of her appearance had been viewed more than 12.3 million times. And she’s set the blogosphere on fire and fans a-Twittering. “When a dowdy, homely, 47-year-old woman sings beautifully, it is headline news,” Tamar Abrams blogs in a Huffington Post article headlined “Susan Boyle: Talent Without Judgment.”

A fan has launched a fan site at susan-boyle.com that already has more than 5,000 members. Steve Rosenbaum, chief executive of Magnify.net, which hosts the site, told the WSJ that the domain was registered after the show aired in the United Kingdom on Saturday.

Lets hope the show finds her a man and a recording contract.
