Looks like Britian's Got Talent may have just produced the next Susan Boyle-to-be this week in one 80-year-old Janey Cutler, who wowed the audience, and the judges, in Glasgow during week 4 of Britain's Got Talent auditions.  She passed through the next round with flying colors.  Click below to watch her performance and pre-show prep. 

Cutler reportedly auditioned at the coaxing of her friends, who convinced her that she had nothing to lose.

In Britain's Got Talent, singers, dancers, comedians, variety acts, and other performers compete against each other for audience support. The winner of each series receives £100,000 and is given the opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Performance in front of members of the Royal Family, including the Queen. The first series of the talent show began on 9 June 2007, and was broadcast daily with a live final on 16 July 2007, in which Paul Potts won. Street-dancer George Sampson went on to win the second series of the show on 31 May 2008. The third series began on 11 April 2009, and ended on 30 May 2009, with Diversity winning the competition, while Susan Boyle, whose audition performance of "I Dreamed a Dream" sparked an Internet sensation, ended up in second place. Series 4 premièred on 17 April 2010.
