Susan Boyle is so popular that even a caveman would have heard of her. She said she wanted to be as popular as Elaine Paige, and it took her a few days for that to happen. Who the hell is Elaine Paige?

The little 46 year-old Scottish lady with the bushy eyebrows who’s never been kissed has officially become famous faster in America than the Beatles, thanks to web videos and social networking technologies sending people to the video of her Britain’s Got Talent performance. Reaching over 30 million views in one week, she’s blown Chocolate Rain, Evolution of Dance, Sneezing Panda, Bush Vs. Shoe, Fey as Palin, Charlie Bit Me, David at Dentist and all the other rapid Internet videos of late out of the water completely. What makes it even more spectacular is that embedding the YouTube video has been disabled on all her clips, so people have to travel to the site to watch.

If you are somehow a complete brick and haven’t seen her singing “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables, click here.

She’s been interviewed by Larry King, is making her way through the TV circuit, is being promoted all over by Piers Morgan, has been the top trending topic on Twitter for days… and she’s just cute as a boot. Some of her other recordings have been dug up and can also be found on the Tube of You, which you’ll likely see in the Related Videos at the above link.

Take that, Elaine Paige. Maybe if you were more homely, you’d be an international superstar, too.
