Susan Boyle Comes in Second on 'Britain's Got Talent'
Her journey on "Britain's Got Talent" has come to an end. Susan Boyle finished in second place in the finale of the popular reality TV competition.
Susan performed the song that made her famous, "I Dreamed a Dream" from "Les Miserables" and brought the audience to their feet. Judge Simon Cowell told Boyle, "I adore you."
Simon's adoration wasn't enough -- the dance troupe Diversity won "Britain's Got Talent." After the announcement, Boyle curtsied to the audience and gave them her signature hip shake.
Diversity scored the $159,000 grand prize and a chance to perform before Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Variety.
