… and slammed into the Earth. With no parachute.

Susan Boyle successfully demolished her image as “the biggest star on the planet” with her performance of Memory from the musical Cats on the first Britain’s Got Talent semi-final last night. She was off to a very shaky start, and even though she caught herself in the second half of the song she proved that she’s probably not the major superstar that she was being hyped to be. She’s just another singer. A good singer, no doubt, but nothing more. I still like her though. She’s not the sharpest tool in the box, and if singing is what she does best then let her sing and make people happy. She’s still good enough to sell a decent amount of records.

The judges, all three of them, lost a big chunk of their credibility there. There’s no way they could not have heard the atrocious first 10 seconds of the song, yet nobody even mentioned it. Epic fail.

Anyway, Susan got voted #1 by the public last night, so we’ll see her in the final on Saturday.

I guess my favourite act of the night were the dance group Diversity, who succeeded quite nicely in the discipline of dwarf tossing…

That was a great routine with a number of spectacular effects and surprises. I’m not a dancer, and I’m not that much into dancing in general, but this was really entertaining.

Diversity are through to the final as well. Little boy with the big hair cried. Aww…
