"That moment is what every artist tries to capture," O'Donnell tells People. "Here is this freaky miss, a fat, ugly girl, like Shrek comes to life, directing energy towards her soul. This was so rare ... something authentic in a world that is usually manufactured. It was a perfect moment which will never happen again."
The poignant performance not only transformed Boyle, but also the usually caustic Simon Cowell. "He showed his humanity, and I actually liked him," O'Donnell says.

Pizza delivery driver Jamie Pugh shock the judges with his singing skills on this week's Britain's Got Talent.
Pugh, 37, fears that his lack of sleep and major bout of nerves will ruin his chances at the Cardiff auditions.
Speaking before his performance, Pugh says: "I suffer from severe stage fright, it has totally crippled me, and I've come today to see if I can get through 3 minutes."
He adds: "In the day time I work three days a week driving a van and in the evenings I deliver pizza. I’m just a simple bloke from the Valleys, but my dream is to sing at the Royal Variety in front of a live orchestra."
However, the singer shows no signs of nerves during his emotional rendition of the West End hit 'Bring Him Home'.
"Donna, his proud partner is up on her feet in the audience looking emotional as Jamie starts his faultless performance," said a show source. "All three Judges look spellbound and at the end of the song the whole theatre is on its feet, bringing tears and a look of shock to Jamie's face."
Amanda Holden describes Pugh's vocals as "beautiful", while Piers Morgan claims that the singer is "incredible".
Rounding off the praise, Simon Cowell adds: "It's people like you the reason why we come to Wales every year, I think you could be a special talent, but you have to start believing in yourself."
Britain's Got Talent airs on Saturday at 8.20pm on ITV1.
I just found out today that one of the tech guys from work maybe on tomrrow night's show. He was at the same auditions as Susan Boyle. He was awaiting a phone call from the show today to confirm if his part will be shown, I was shocked as if I knew he was going to audition I would have got him to get me Mr Cowell's autograph. Anyway he is singing a Freddy Mercury song if anyone wants a sneek preview there is a clip of him on youtube singing on the kareoke in his local pub last year. On youtube type in russell's got talent not. and it is the first clip. I told Russell if he get's through I'm not voting for him cause I'm voting for DJ Talent. :rotfl:
The Britain's Got Talent judges make musical duo Addicted split after their audition on this week's show.
Friends and students Sue Son and Janine are a classical act who play violin and keyboards. However, the judges are not impressed by Janine's musical composition 'Chance'.
"I think you are both talented musicians, especially you with the violin, but I don’t think the two go together at all," says Simon. "I thought the song was dreary and indulgent and I don't see where you are going with this."
After the girls leave the stage, the panel have a discussion and call back violinist Sue and make her an offer.
"We have had a conversation and we think you are really good but none of us think the act is very good," says Simon. "What we want to ask is if you will come back to audition on your own tomorrow?"
She returns the next day with her best friend's blessing and wins a standing ovation for a cover of Vanessa Mae's 'Storm' on an electrical violin.
"I know it was a tough decision to leave your best friend, but that is going to be the best decision you ever made because that was phenomenal," remarks Amanda Holden. Simon agrees with her sentiments, also describing her as "phenomenal".
Well Russell's clip wasn't shown, which is a shame. What about Knit and Natter anyone want to learn how to finger knit :rotfl:
That Welsh delivery man is brilliant, he will give Susan Boyle a run for her money.
Sue Son has said that she lost her best friend when she decided to audition as a solo artist on Britain's Got Talent.
The electric violinist performed in Birmingham alongside keyboard player Janine Khalil as one half of duo Addicted, but the judges felt that both parts of the group did not mesh.
Simon Cowell summoned Son back to the stage and asked if she would consider returning to the show to audition as a solo artist, an offer she accepted.
Son told her friend that she could not return to the next day of the Birmingham auditions, but she returned to the show in London days later, where she received three "Yes" votes from the judges.
The star has now confirmed reports of a split with Khalil over her decision, the Daily Mail reports.
Son said: "She's taken me off her Facebook friends. I think Janine was upset I didn't tell her before that I was going back for a second chance.
"Instead of seeing her first, and telling her, I had to do it on the phone. I realised from my other friends she was really hurt."
She added: "I got some great compliments from the judges. But at the end of the day I lost my best friend."
That is a shame, it is not Sue's fault the judges did not like them as a pair.

Janine should have supported her friend no matter what, it would have shown that she was a greater friend and besides that's what true friends do. It's a shame a friendship was broken up through this and I bet Sue's going to 'regret' it a bit however she does have an amazing talent but it's a shame it had to 'end' like this :(
I did! :DQuote:

That Jamie Pugh guy was brillant - best of the night
It's a shame that Soo and her friend fell out over her getting asked back to audition on her own, but Soo had to go back if she was serious she may have never got another chance otherwise. Hopefully they can make up Janine needs to think what she would have done if it was her Simon asked back.
They were obviously not the best friends they thought they were...I would never hold my best friend back from something just because it something I may have wanted. Some people are just better at other things than other people, fact of life.Quote:

It will be a close run between Jamie and Susan, they are both singing the same style, so it is between a female or a male voice, I suppose.
Russell from my work is supposed to be on this week, he got a phone call on Friday afternoon telling him he would be either on Saturday or next week.
you will have to point him outQuote:

BRITAIN’S Got Talent singer Jamie Pugh is today exposed as a FIBBER who has already performed in a West End theatre.
On Saturday 12 million viewers saw the pizza deliveryman claim he had NEVER appeared in front of a huge audience.
Jamie, who sang a hit from the musical Les Miserables, blubbed as he said he was crippled by stage fright.
And he told the judges he dreamed of winning BGT so he could sing at the Royal Variety Performance in front of Her Majesty the Queen.
But it would not be his first “Her Majesty’s” show — for he has already played to over 1,000 people at a London theatre of that name.
The Sun can reveal he was appearing with a group of singers at Star EFX Sunday Night Live, a weekly showcase at Her Majesty’s for budding talent.
Dressed in a smart tuxedo he performed for around 15 minutes with six others.
The group performed a medley of Rod Stewart numbers under the heading Great American Songbook.
And Jamie was so confident he even did a solo of Louis Armstrong’s classic What A Wonderful World.
The programme for the night gave him a mention, saying: “This is Jamie’s first foray into the world of musical theatre and marks his first public appearance.
“He has dreamed of making this journey ever since he was a boy, when he saw Les Miserables in London.”
A member of the audience at the show in 2006 said: “I couldn’t believe it when I saw him on Britain’s Got Talent saying he had never performed in front of an audience before.
“I remember his performance going down really well — and he didn’t look like he was suffering from stage fright then.”
On Saturday’s show Jamie, from Gwent, South Wales, gave a rendition which sparked immediate comparisons with Scottish sensation Susan Boyle — who had also performed a number from Les Miserables.
Simon Cowell asked him: “Out of interest have you ever done anything like this, where you’ve sung with an audience like this?"
Jamie — described by co-host Declan Donnelly as “the most nervous contestant we’ve ever had” — shook his head and replied: “No!
He told the judges: “I suffer severe stage fright. It cripples me really. I’ve come here today to see if I can get through three minutes.
“I’m just a simple bloke from The Valleys and my dream is to sing at the Royal Variety.
Jamie has also said he once tried to sing in front of three mates but failed because he was so scared.
But last night he confessed to The Sun he HAD been on stage in the past.
He insisted he had not misled anyone as he had never performed on stage entirely on his own.
Jamie said: “I have previously performed as part of a group but I never sang alone. It didn’t go that well.”
Jamie, whose wife Tracey died from a brain tumour ten years ago, said earlier this week that he walked out of last year’s BGT auditions because he was so scared.
I spoke to Russell at work today to see if he is going to be on tomorrow nights show. He's not in the main show but on the Britain's got more talent so watch out for him. I asked him if any off the rotten fruit hit him when he was singing. He said no. I said oh well no luck I'm not a good aimer. :lol:
Did anyone see Russell on Britain's got more talent. He was right at the end with the white tracksuit bottoms and vest on he had his hair black. Simon called him an idiot :lol:
I watched BGMT especially because of him, he was very funny and took Simon's comments in good humour. Give him my best wishes when you next see him at work, he is very much braver than I ever would be :lol:Quote:

There have been accusations in the media that some of the scenes on the show have been pre-planned, including 12-year-old Shaheen Jafargholi's restarted audition.
Britain's Got More Talent host Mulhern told DS: "If I thought it was, or indeed if I knew it was, I would say: 'Look, you know what, it's all part of the show.'
"But I wasn't told anything like that. Having watched it as a punter, I understand the questions, because it was such a shocker, really. But was it just a fluke? Honestly I don't know."
Stephen Mulhern ('Britain's Got More Talent') Interview
The third series of Britain's Got Talent has blown the previous two out of the water. Susan Boyle's performance on the first episode turned a hit UK show into an international phenomenon, and the surprises keep coming. We rang up Stephen Mulhern, host of ITV2 spinoff Britain's Got More Talent, to find out who he thinks could shock us next, what happened with Kelly Brook, and why he thinks Talent is the best show on television.
Who's been your favourite act so far this year?
"I'd have to say Stavros Flatley, I think they're genius. There's also a guy coming up that I'm tipping to be the dark horse of the competition, a young boy called Aiden. He's a dancer and he's only 14, but he's just quite exceptional. He's got something very special about him. Despite all of the publicity that Susan's got, you can't rule out this young boy."
Is there a genuine chance that someone other than Susan Boyle can win the competition?
"I think that everyone is somewhat under a false sense of security. I think all the publicity could be quite dangerous for Susan because everyone is expecting something incredible when it comes to the live semi-finals. She's now got this momentum that she's got to deliver on, because we've only heard her sing one song. I don't know what she's going to perform - I know they start discussing it soon - but I hope the pressure isn't too much."
Do you think a more eccentric act - not a singer or dancer - has a chance of winning this series of Britain's Got Talent?
"Yes. This year there's a great magic act and a great comedian called Gareth. I would love it if a variety-style act won because I think it would give some extra momentum that is needed for both television and the show. When Paul Potts won the first series everyone thought it would just be like The X Factor. When George won it opened the floodgates."
With your performance background, do you feel a bond with a lot of the people who audition on the show?
"I do really. There's a couple of things that I empathise with. Firstly, getting turned down and rejected - there is nothing worse and it has happened to me. I once went to audition for Michael Barrymore's My Kind Of People and I thought it would be quite clever to go in my Butlins Redcoat uniform. Of course, Michael used to be a Redcoat himself and his manager said that he didn't want to be reminded of it and that was it, it was game over! Admittedly, I wish I was clever enough and quick enough to just take the red coat off! I also went on The Big Big Talent Show with Jonathan Ross where I got my big break. From that show I appeared on the Royal Variety Show in front of the Queen, so it's really weird to be hosting a talent competition where that's the prize."
What do you say to accusations that the show can be quite cruel to contestants during auditions?
"I'm the most sympathetic person when it comes to people getting upset and it's awful when you see people getting upset, because they're real, proper emotions. No-one wants to be jeered off, and certainly no-one wants to be booed off, and I know that from personal experience! There is nothing worse, but if you don't think you can handle it, then by the third or fourth series you shouldn't enter."
What do you say about accusations that some of the auditions have been staged or scripted, especially Shaheen's dramatic restart?
"If I thought it was, or indeed if I knew it was, I would say: 'Look, you know what, it's all part of the show,' but I wasn't told anything like that. Having watched it as a punter, I understand the questions, because it was such a shocker, really. But was it just a fluke? Honestly I don't know. A lot of people have asked me that and the answer is I genuinely don't know if it was set up or not."
The Sun quoted you as suggesting that Kelly Brook couldn't cope with fronting a live show. Was there any truth to that?
"I made sure that she got the message that I didn't say that. The killer for me is that she's done live TV before! She's done The Big Breakfast and I know that she could do it. What I said was that I've got to the stage now with Britain's Got More Talent where another host just wouldn't work. Not that I didn't want to work with Kelly, because as I said, she was a lovely girl. What happened to her was very unfair. She didn't ask for the job, she was offered the job and she took it and it didn't work out. For whoever got that job it wouldn't have worked out, it was all too confusing with four judges."
Do you think Britain's Got Talent could overtake The X Factor as the UK's top reality talent show?
"Absolutely, there's no other show like it. I think it absolutely stands alone. It does what The X Factor does, because it involves singers, but it gives you that extra of a complete variety show. I think the likes of Susan Boyle are the proof in the pudding that this show is just incredible and I don't think there's a show on TV that has the power, and indeed is as good as, Britain's Got Talent."
Britain's Got More Talent continues Saturday at 9.20pm on ITV2.
Aww No I didnt, I will try and have to watch a repeatQuote:

They may have lost out to little George Sampson when it came to last year's Britain's Got Talent final, but sexy electric string quartet Escala have not given up on their dream of musical stardom. Simon Cowell saw something in the girls that the public didn't, gave them a record contract, and over the last 12 months they have been working on a debut disc with pop legend Trevor Horn. We caught up with Chantal and Victoria from the group to find out how they've coped with a whirlwind 12 months of fame.
Your album was originally going to be released at Christmas. Why the delay?
Chantal: "Basically, we just needed more time to perfect it. You only get one opportunity in life to create something on this scale. We were really creating our dream album and we told the label we just needed more time. There was a choir on there and a big orchestra, so there was lots of work to be done. The last 12 months have been a whirlwind, so there was just no point in rushing it for the sake of the Christmas market."
You've teamed up with Guns 'N Roses guitarist Slash on the record. That's quite a surprising collaboration!
Victoria: "Oh my God! We thought they were joking when the label told us about it. We were like, 'Slash wants to work with us? Yeah right!' What happened was that Simon Cowell went to an Elton John party and met Slash. Simon Cowell went up to him and played our version of Led Zeppelin's 'Kashmir'. He said that he really liked the track and agreed to add some guitars for us."
We can't imagine Simon Cowell and Slash partying together!
Chantal: "It is quite weird. It is definitely surreal. But we never got to meet him. He did his bits in LA and we did ours in a studio in London. His stuff was laid down and we just heard it a couple of weeks later. Fingers crossed we'll meet him at some point in the future. That would be amazing. I don't know exactly what we'd speak about. I'm not sure what the conversation starter would be!"
What's Simon like as a boss?
Chantal: "We're incredibly lucky to be with him and his label. He is the biggest guy in the industry at the moment and is pretty influential. Syco are just really, really personable. We know the whole team and all the people surrounding Simon. He is incredibly knowledgeable and very creative, so we're just really fortunate to have someone like that representing us. He really cares, really wants us to do well, but importantly wants us to be really happy as well."
Do you get annoyed when people accuse you of "dumbing down" classical music?
Victoria: "To be honest, we haven't really heard anyone accusing us of that. Everyone's just been really, really positive. As long as we're promoting it to young kids, that can only be a positive thing.There are always going to be cynics, but as an artist you should be creative and open-minded enough to accept all genres and appreciate them. That's our take on it. We are all classically trained and have scholarships from the main musical colleges."
Chantal: "This is our choice. It wasn't because we couldn't do classical stuff. What we try to do is show people that what we're doing is fun and entertaining."
You did the Oprah Winfrey show with Susan Boyle. What was that like?
Victoria: "It was awesome. Susan Boyle was on satellite before we went on and we got to watch that. She just seemed like a really wonderful woman. Then we got to go and perform. I think I'm right in saying we all had the same buzz that we got on Britain's Got Talent. To see Simon and Oprah on the end of the stage was daunting, but felt incredible. It matched doing the Talent final for the buzz."
Have you been caught up in Boylemania?
Chantal: "Wow, Boylemania! She must just be so overwhelmed by it all. This is the biggest story I've ever known to come out of a reality TV show and she's just done incredibly well. If she just sticks to what she's good at, she'll do really well. She's a great singer and has everything going for her."
She seems to have a really good sense of humour about her sudden fame.
Chantal: "You have to when you have so much media attention around you. You have to enjoy it for what it is."
Victoria: "You can't take anything personally. You shouldn't read everything that's written about you because there will be some not so good things. Everyone's entitled to their opinions."
Chantal: "It's a talent show at the end of the day and she's really talented."
Escala release their self-titled debut album on May 25.
I thought the boy dancer at the end was amazing tonight and way better than George Sampson. When he first said he was going to dance, I groaned as I thought he would just be 'another George Sampson' but he's really raised the bar. What a talent.
Natalie, the young girl was good too. She has a big voice and I can see her turning into a star.
I also enjoyed the two guys who did the 'YMCA'. It was very different and really funny. I hope they get through to the semi finals.
Amanda Holden flew to LA after her father-in-law was left in a coma following a crash on holiday.
Mike Hughes, 72, was taken into intensive care after being crushed by a car which flipped over and spun straight into him, report the News Of The World.
The Britain's Got Talent judge and husband Chris discovered the news two days following the incident as Mike had no identification on him when he was hit in the collision. Doctors were forced to wait for him to wake from his coma to learn his details.
"It's a miracle he is still alive. He was in a coma for two days and nobody knew who he was because he didn't have any identification on him," a friend of Mike's said.
A spokeswoman for Holden, who returned to the UK on Friday, added: "It's been a very tough time but it looks like Mike is out of the woods and making a full recovery."
Police are continuing to investigate the cause of the crash near Sunset Boulevard.
Alan was that you doing Irish dancing at the begining. :lol: Loved it. and the two guys doing the YMCA with Simon and Louis masks on.
SINGER Paul Potts is returning to Britain’s Got Talent as a guest performer in the live semi-finals.
The phone salesman-turned-opera star, 38, has earned more than £6million since winning the show in 2007.
But he said he is TERRIFIED of being back in front of the panel — especially judge Simon Cowell, 49.
Paul told The Sun: “I will be so nervous going back and performing in front of the judges. Performing in front of Simon will be scary.
“I’m always nervous before every performance but this will be me returning to where I started.”
Dance sensation George Sampson, 15, who won last year’s series, will also be making a comeback.
Paul said: “The organisers have been in touch quite a bit about it.
“It looks like I’ll do one semi-final and George Sampson will do another.”
“I’m looking forward to catching up with the judges.
“I also want to go and see the backstage crew and have a drink with them. They are a fantastic bunch of people.”
