U.K. Has Some Talent

How can you not like Susan Boyle? Have you seen her performance on "Britain's Got Talent?" This is a show sort of like American Idol which also features Simon Cowell as one of three judges. If you haven't seen the video via Youtube, click here. It really is an amazing performance from out of nowhere. This from a 46-year old woman that lives at home with her cat and just wanted to be a famous singer but no one ever gave her the chance. Well, people know who she is now.

This isn't the first time this show has had a performance like this. A couple years ago, an unassuming mobile phone salesman named Paul Potts that wanted to sing opera came on and blew everyone away.

But the show is doesn't yet, check out the kid named Shaheen Jaforgholi and how he rebounds when Simon cuts him off and makes him sing something else.

These are performances that our American Idol doesn't seem to have anymore and a big reason I've lost all interest in that show. But check these clips out, they are a lot of fun.
