We can’t stop listening to this 12-year-old crooner sing one of the summer’s hottest songs!

Ronan Parke, 12, may not have won Britain’s Got Talent, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a bright future ahead of him — does the name Susan Boyle ring a bell? Watch the video below to see why Ronan’s being hailed as the “British Bieber!”

Controversy erupted earlier this summer when rumors swirled that Simon Cowell had found Ronan two years ago and has been grooming him for stardom since. Ronan’s mother, Maggie,  told BBC Radio Norfolk, “It’s laughable and it couldn’t be further from the truth. There’s no foundation in it whatsoever.”

The reality show runner up posted an acoustic cover of Lady Gaga‘s latest single “The Edge of Glory” last week and it’s already racked up over 50,000 views! His debut CD comes out on October 24 and we’ll definitely be keeping an eye on him!

Susan’s done shedding tears over America’s Got Talent — she’s getting her revenge Oct. 5 on Dancing with the Stars!

Just weeks after Susan Boyle broke down crying because she wasn’t allowed to sing Lou Reed‘s hit song “Perfect Day” on America’s Got Talent, the Scottish singer is heading to the United States to perform on the hit ABC show Dancing With The Stars! She’ll take the stage Oct. 5 to perform Leonard Cohen‘s “Hallelujah.”

The 49-year-old Britain’s Got Talent star caught the first plane back to the UK last month when she wasn’t given permission to sing the song of her choice on America’s Got Talent.

Thank goodness that won’t happen this time as Susan seems to have a good repertoire with DWTS — she performed her infamous rendition of Les Misérables‘ “I Dreamed a Dream” on the show last year, and the audience loved her!

Whoever said “nice guys finish last” was apparently right!

Everyone’s favorite American Idol grouch now has a new reason to smile. Simon Cowell, 50, reportedly made $69 million last year, bringing his total net worth to more than $250 million! Besides raking in the dough from Idol, Simon’s wallet also got a boost from his gigs on The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent.

We bet this is especially good news for Simon’s fiancée, Mezhgan Hussainy!

The Brits can’t get enough of her, and it looks like America can’t either!

British singing sensation Susan Boyle keeps on making history with her highly-anticipated debut album, I Dreamed a Dream. According to her rep, the album is “already outselling Rihanna, Lady Gaga and 50 Cent.”

SuBo, who became a household name when she competed on Britain’s Got Talent and made the world realize that beauty comes in all different forms, has a projected first week sales figure of around a million records sold — that means she’ll be the top-selling artist in their first week on the US charts this year!

We also can’t forget that her album (a mix of famous covers like the Rolling Stones’ “Wild Horses” and some holiday tunes) is the biggest global CD pre-order in Amazon.com’s 14-year history!

“I’m incredibly proud of Susan,” says Simon Cowell, one of the judges on BGT. “She opened her mouth and the world fell in love with her, which is why her album has been the fastest selling of any woman making her debut.”

Atta girl, Suze. Cheers!
