|
Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle has inspired cartoon slacker Homer Simpson to audition for a talent show in The Simpsons. Ms Boyle, 48, from West Lothian, became a worldwide sensation after appearing on Britain's Got Talent last month. In the online clip, Homer appears before judge Simon Cowell, saying "My name is Homer Simpson, I'm 39 years old and, well, I've never been kissed." He adds: "My dream is to be a great singer like Susan Boyle." Ms Boyle's rendition of I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables on the ITV1 show turned her into a global phenomenon after being posted on YouTube. She was previously mentioned in cult US cartoon show South Park. Last week, she appeared on a special episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show. Her appearance in The Simpsons video extra, Springfield's Got Talent, is part of the show's 20th-anniversary season.
