Surprise singing sensation Susan Boyle made a new television appearance, showcasing once again her soaring voice — but refusing to compromise on the frumpy look that made her an Internet sensation.Not like the first time. Nothing will be like the first time, for us. For her, singing before the Queen next week might be pretty cool.
The shy church volunteer gave a rousing, but occasionally nervous, performance on the "American Idol"-style show "Britain's Got Talent," with a version of the song "Memory" from the musical "Cats."
Members of the public voting in a telephone poll picked her as the best of eight performers who appeared Sunday, meaning she will sing again in the contest's final next Saturday.
And for a little perspective, the woman many believed to be the finest contemporary singer of her time, Eva Cassidy. Cancer took her away at when she was 33, 13 years ago, but she's an icon to jazz fans.
