No real surprise that Susan Boyle, the surprising singing sensation only made it to second place in the You've Got Talent final. In the American version, the long-time front runner also lost.
For Boyle, no doubt that her present fame is already far beyond what she could have expected. She is more famous than the winning group.
I don't know if singing a different song would have raised her score enough to get first prize. In terms of a future career, a limited repertoire is restricting.
Seabiscuit didn't win every race, but that didn't diminish his legend.
