YouTube sensation Susan Boyle has made it to the final round of the UK’s Britain’s Got Talent with her version of “Memory” from the musical Cats.

Voters selected her as the best performer on Sunday evening’s episode of BGT, meaning that she will compete in this season’s final episode next Saturday despite– or perhaps because of–her somewhat unruly appearance.  Even Simon seemed to be feeling the Boyle fever, telling her “You are one special lady.  You really are.”

Boyle will compete against a dog act, street dancers, a burlesque dancer and a belly dancer among others on the May 30 finale.
