14 DAY TRIAL // In early May, an 81-year-old woman from Glasgow, a great grandmother with only one dream left to see become real, won over UK and international audiences with her performance on the Britain’s Got Talent auditions. The other night, Janey Cutler made the cut into the finals on the show and earned for her performance a standing ovation, AceShowbiz informs.
Dubbed the “New SuBo / Susan Boyle” for how she became an internet sensation and proving that one should NEVER judge a book by its cover, Janey has just moved one step towards winning the show. She walked on stage with the help of two assistants and then worked up the crowd in a frenzy with her powerful vocals, as showcased on a classic song by Shirley Bassey.
“Janey Cutler, the 81-year-old who has the lungs of a 20-year-old advances to the final round of Britain’s Got Talent on Thursday, June 3 night. Receiving the biggest public vote, Janey was the first winner in the fourth semi-final after she performed a rendition of Shirley Bassey’s hit ‘This Is My Life’,” the aforementioned e-zine says of the impressive performance. And Janey did not stop only at conquering the public, for the judges were also singing her praise at the end of the song.
“Janey you are magnificent. I have been waiting the whole series for one of those moments that has the whole country talking the next day. A moment when you feel the hairs go up, your spine tingling and everyone’s going did you hear that lady last night on BGT? Because that wasn’t just the best performance of the night, it was the best of the whole week by a mile,” judge Piers Morgan told Janey.
The other finalists include dance act Twist and Pulse, Spelbound, Connected, Tina and Chandi, Tobias Mead, Christopher Stone and Paul Burling. The final takes place this Saturday, on June 5 so keep an eye on this space for when the results are in. In the meantime, below is Janey’s performance the other night. Enjoy.
