We are stunned, as are many after learning about the results of the Britain's Got Talent 2009 Finale. Susan Boyle lost Britain's Got Talent to the ten-person dance crew Diversity. We are so stunned and upset that rather than saying "Diversity Wins," I say "Susan Boyle Loses." Graciously, however, she said "Lads, I wish you all the best."

In her final performance on the Britain's Got Talent 2009 Finale show, Susan Boyle returned to the song that she used in her first performance, the one that skyrocketed her to the top of the YouTube popularity "chart" and was viewed tens of millions of times: "I Dreamed a Dream" from "Les Miserables."

Wearing a sparkling, floor-length gown and performing with a confidence, polish, and animation, more so than in prior performances, she seemed uncomfortable bantering with the judges after her song.

Susan Boyle acknowledged she had felt the pressure in the weeks building up to her final appearance. She even melted down earlier this week. Despite all this, oddsmakers had labeled her a 10 - 11 favorite coming into the finals.

Diversity, the winner group of the 2009 Finale of Britain's Got Talent, earned a 100,000 pound ($159,000) prize and the chance to perform before Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Variety Show. Really, though, a hip-hop dance group? However, Susan Boyle might be the real winner. Piers Morgan, one of the BGT judges, has previously said that fellow judge Simon Cowell's eyes turned into dollar signs after her first performance, and Morgan added she deserved a contract and a world tour, win or no.

Watch the final Susan Boyle BGT performance, and let's hope we see many more performances from her.
