BGUK_1451429 - ** RIGHTS: WORLDWIDE EXCEPT IN UNITED STATES ** Los Angeles, CA - Susan Boyle gets Golden Buzzer and advances straight to the finals as she appears on America's Got Talent: The Champions. The Scottish singer first wowed on Britain's Got Talent almost ten years ago - and she proved she's still got the talent to wow the judges when she appeared on the new show in the US - as she got the Golden Buzzer as the first through to the finals. The new spin-off show brought 50 of the top performers worldwide from the franchise's history, with Simon Cowell saying: "It's like the Olympics: the best of the best. You're not just taking on America, you're taking on the world." Boyle was by far the most anticipated performer as the first 10 champions performed, getting rapturous applause and ovations as soon as she took the stage. Cowell looked genuinely moved to once again see the singer who became a worldwide viral phenomenon thanks to her performance of I Dreamed A Dream on Britain's Got Talent in 2009. "And what's your name?" Simon smiled, telling her: "Oh my God this brings back so many great memories having you back. Genuinely, I'm beyond thrilled that you're here tonight." The audience appeared enraptured during her ballad-style version of The Rolling Stones classic Wild Horses. "I can't think of any other contestant who has defined this show better than you. You're the one. You made a huge difference to a lot of people's lives and I'm absolutely thrilled that you're here," Cowell told her .Mel B added: "I want to be the woman that gives you something that you deserve." The Spice Girls star then jumped up to press the Golden Buzzer sending her through, with Boyle looking stunned as gold confetti fell around her. Cowell followed Mel in running up onstage to hug her, telling Boyle as he pointed to the ovations: "I'm so proud of you. You sounded amazing. Look at that." Boyle finally said she was 'very happy and very humble,' adding "Thank you all very much." *BACKGRID DOES NOT CLAIM ANY COPYRIGHT OR LICENSE IN THE ATTACHED MA Pictured: Susan Boyle BACKGRID UK 7 JANUARY 2019 BYLINE MUST READ: NBC / BACKGRID *BACKGRID DOES NOT CLAIM ANY COPYRIGHT OR LICENSE IN THE ATTACHED MATERIAL.
