London - British singing sensation Susan Boyle, whose soulful rendition of "I Dreamed A Dream" from the musical "Les Miserables" shot her to global fame, failed to cross the final hurdle on Saturday, as Diversity, a troupe of young street dancers walked away with top honors in the final round of "Britain's Got Talent."

Boyle, who has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame over the past two months and has captured the hearts of millions of people on YouTube where a video footage of her singing has been uploaded, belted out her audition piece with gusto, and moved the heart of Piers Morgan, one of the three judges, who called her act the "greatest performance I've seen on the history of 'Britain's Got Talent.'"
"You should win the competition, I loved it," Morgan said.
Agrees fellow judge Amanda Holden. "I have never heard such powerful confident vocals," she said.
Music promoter Simon Cowell, who was the third judge on the show, also said she was "the biggest phenomenon" he ever saw in any of his shows.
Even the bookmakers said Boyle, who was up against nine other acts to win the show, which brings with it a cheque for 100,000 pounds (115,000 euros, 160,000 dollars) and the chance to perform for Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Variety show, was the favorite.
