Susan Boyle and Michael Ball's Britain's Got Talent final duet slammed by viewers

While at lot of attention is on this year's winner, one of the other major talking points from the Britain's Got Talent final was the performance by Susan Boyle and Michael Ball.

Su-Bo returned to Britain's Got Talent a decade after the show earned her worldwide fame thanks to her audition of I Dreamed A Dream being watched by people all over the globe.

However, while happy to see her back, many BGT viewers were less than impressed with her duet with West End legend Michael Ball of A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman.

Someone tweeted "My husband walked in when Susan Boyle and Michael Ball were on & asked me "how did they make the final?" and, also turned off by the performance another commented "#MondayMorning and still struggling to work out what that Susan Boyle and Michael Ball duet was all about last night."

Another BGT fan reacted "Call the police, there's been a murder. Suspects: Michael Ball and Susan Boyle. Victim: music," while, uploading a link to the original of A Million Dreams, someone wrote "Binge listening to this, to get that awful performance by Susan Boyle and Michael Ball out my head.

Worst. Cover. Of. This. Song. Ever

Other viewers have taken particular aim at Michael. One Su-Bo fan tweeted "Michael Ball has actually ruined this for poor Susan Boyle. poor cow."

Echoing those sentiments, another vented "Susan Boyle can sing a better version of Million Dreams solo, TOO.  WTF, did Michael Ball think he was doing?

"He kept crowding her.  You could see her glance at him twice, as though to say, "back off"

The Britain's Got Final results saw Colin Thackery crowned as this year's winner and the have now been revealed for all the live semi-finals and the final.
