Last month, Lin Yu Chun, aka the Taiwanese Susan Boyle, swept the viral video world.
Today, Janey Cutler is about to take over. Cutler is an 81-year-old grandmother who just had a Susan Boyle moment of her own on "Britain's Got Talent."
The Daily Mirror goes so far as to say that Cutler is "at the centre of a U.S. television bidding war." The official video is currently the second most watched video of the day on YouTube and it had around 450,000 total views as of this posting.
Watch Cutler's stunning performance below:

Do we need another singer with bad eyebrows?
you gotta love that...81 and killing it on stage. Nice.
Well . . . she’s a lot of fun, but she’s no Susan Boyle. On the other hand she may be less damaged than poor Susan.
Anybody who can sing as beautifully as Susan is great in my book....bad eyebrows or not!
I’m tired of no-talent wannabees getting all the fame and glory.
Get lost, Brittney Spears,Jessica Simpson, Maddonna, etc.!
What a spunky dame!
That was really sweet. Let’s hear it for the old gals!!! (Loved her accent - my granny was from Glasgow and I miss her)
I'm just being a pest...I bristle at the vastly overused phrase..."the next X". Can't a person be the first them?
I agree as to the cookie cutter trash music.
the tarts flitterin in the back stage hall was typical England.....in fact, my bad...they finally got a dentist call back
Marvelous! I hope I’m still breathing at 80, let alone singing with power and poise.
AWESOME! She brought tears to my eyes.
I “dislike” those two guys that keep showing up back stage. Who are they?
I bought Susan Boyle’s CD and it is brilliant!
I turned it off after she threw her third interception.
Yeah... this lady has a pretty powerful voice, but I’ll never forget Susan’s first appearance. I must have watched it 20 times in a row.
My kids bought it for me for Christmas, as they had noticed how I followed Susan’s story from its first moments. I enjoyed the CD. She really has an extraordinary instrument and it’s a matter of the greatest regret that her voice is owned by such a fragile mind. Poor lady!
Poor lady? She is enjoying the gift that God gave her.
Krodg, she has some brain damage from birth and has the emotional control of a child. She has spent time in the hospital for psychiatric issues. There have been photos of her sucking her thumb in public, rocking herself, weeping, and generally having difficulties with the strain of her newfound fame. Her family and her priest admit that she has only a simple ability to deal with great matters and does not handle strain well. I hope someone who loves her and is trustworthy is managing her finances.
