Maybe I missed something but I was amazed that Susan Boyle did not appear on last night's final of BGT.
Thought it was a good show last night and despite the numerous commercial breaks moved at a good pace. Be interesting to see if the ratings are better than last year.

Maybe she told Cowell where to go!
Ashley Banjo and Paul Potts were on - at least they won, more than Subo achieved.
Yes, quite right, ian, Subo has really all but disappeared from view since crashing and burning last year on the venerable career launcher that is BGT.
I suppose there's the small matter of being the biggest selling recording artist in the world (I use artist in the broader sense as believe it or not, I'm not a Boyle fan) however, the fact remains, she is the most successful winner of a talent show ever - whether she can maintain that success is of course in the lap of the Gods.
But why split hairs, you're quite right, her achievements have been paltry, her success immaterial, she had no right to be there. And Simon Cowell doesn't get down on his knees and thank God for Susan Boyle every single night.
Susan Boyle isn't 'the most successful winner of a talent show ever' because she didn't actually win! Diversity won. Susan came second.
Possibly Susan turned down the chance to appear. It's easy to forget that contestants do have lives (and in some cases busy careers) after BGT. If Susan really is as successful as you maintain, then it's highly likely that she had some other engagement to fulfil that day. Though I suppose it's easier to assume that she was snubbed rather than that she was just too busy to attend.
Oh for the love of God you know what I meant. Okay, Susan Boyle is the most successful participant in a talent show ever, to date and whether she can maintain that success is in the lap of the Gods. And her psychiatrist.
There happy now M. Pedant's Corner?
I didn't even think about her being on BGT since I think Cowell has officially promoted her to X Factor which is much more important for shifting singles/albums as this year showed.
Cowell's ridiculously predictable, isn't he?:rolleyes: I expect JLS will be on too at some point.
Not just Cowell, the music industry is predictable in that regard (I suppose you could say all businesses are).
Big albums in the 4th quarter. That's why X Factor can always get good guests.
Her first single didn't do as well as Will Young's Evergreen! Or Gareth Gates' either.
:eek::eek::D:D
Did they have her in mock Stocks with Kids chucking pies at her for 50p a go ?
LOLOL
Actually you are a little misinformed Terry Fator that won season 2 of Americas Got Talent is by a million miles the most sucessful participant in a talent show ever.
He is currently 2 years into a 5 year $100m deal with the Mirage hotel in Vagas with an option for a further 5 years for another $100m which puts SuBo to shame.
As for SuBo herself there are much better singers out there and had she shown up on show looking like Katherine Jenkins and not a bag lady would anyone have noticed?
Bárbara Padilla who finished runner up in AGT last year could sing SuBo under the table but has vanished without the Boyle hype machine behind her.
LOL!
While the lovely, talented, modest, level headed, polite and gracious Faryl quietly goes about learning the business of carving a career in music. Receiving plaudits from the highest in her profession and charming audiences up and down the country with her talent and easy manner. Nothing flashy, no headline grabbing crap. At the same time attending school, and when her singing requires her to be away from school, work and tutoring are arranged to keep her up to date. She is one of the very few true professional artists to be discovered on BGT.
If i never see her on british tv again it will b too soon
Could you please elaborate on this?
I have not read of such behaviour.
SuBo is preparing to record her new album this week so probably didn't want to do the final.
