Diversity, a troupe of brothers and friends who brought dynamic dancing to the stage time and time again have won it all on "Britain's Got Talent." Their win proved a shocking upset as Scottish singing sensation was expected to take it all!

Susan Boyle returned to 'Britain's Got Talent' tonight, once again soaring with "I Dreamed a Dream." Boyle earned an emotional standing ovation from the audience and judges as she sang her song before the final results were announced.

Respectful in defeat, Boyle praised Diversity, cheering them on by remarking, "The best people won. They're really entertaining and lads, I wish you all the best."

Diversity receives a 100,000 pound ($159,000 US dollars) prize and the chance to perform before Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Variety Show.  

All the current Susan Boyle publicity won the Original London Cast recording of "Les Miserables" the #1 top spot on the Billboard Cast Albums chart. The Original Broadway Cast album of the musical had jumped to #4 a few weeks ago!

Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle made it to the finals of Britain's Got Talent. She performed at the semi-finals on Sunday, May 24, 2009 on UK's ITV singing Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Memory" from CATS.

The turbulent trio of Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden once again preside over the judging panel. They may bicker, they may snigger... but their manicured hands are always wickedly poised by their buzzers to puncture long-held ambitions in a splice.

When the thousands of hopefuls had been whittled down to 40 favourites, they hit a week-long love-in of live semi-final shows. Here's where judge opinion and public vote collided in a five-day variety extravaganza, until just 10 acts, hand-picked by the public remaining for the grand finale.
