From the comments at Huffington Post:

Susan Boyle, God love her, is not that talented. Her voice is pretty good, but her delivery is conventional and unexciting. Her story is fabulous. but her voice is not.

I have to agree. This was not an extraordinary performance. Ultimately, she lacks the depth, power and character to perform that song splendidly. She's got a decent singing voice, but that in itself is not revolutionary. The crowd loves her because her story makes us tickle inside (hasn't been kissed, appears on national television, misunderstood talent etc.).

We like to cheer for underdogs because it makes us feel good inside, turns us into democratic judges with social power, and creates the illusion that just about anyone could become the next Susan Boyle. Of course, that's not reality. This is how "Memory" from Cats should be delivered:
