So there we go, Janey Cutler has sailed through to the final of Britain’s Got Talent. The 81 year old grandmother looked startled when her name was announced, did she ever believe that she would get through? The voting left something of a dilemma for the judges trying to figure out who should go through between Twist and Pulse and the dance troupe Fusion.
Piers Morgan was first off settling on Twist and Pulse while Simon Cowell went for Fusion leaving Amanda Holden with a difficult decision. After some nail biting she went for Twist and Pulse, naturally really as she said at their audition that ‘they were a glimpse of the future.’

Only hope that whoever decides on the musical arrangement for Janey Cutler for the BGT final on June 5th that they do a better job of tonight’s show.
No doubt now though that Janey Cutler could well be on for that top spot in the Royal Variety Performance later this year. We wish her the best of luck!
Just watched Britains Got talent semi final where Janey Cutler sang ‘My Life’. Must say I thought that it was brilliant however the backing music was too loud for my liking and I did think that the original Shirley Bassey arrangement should not have been tampered with by whoever decides these things.
That apart Janey Cutler has an amazing voice, never mind the fact that Janey is now 81, that makes it even more special. Can she win the fourth BGT semi final?
There some strong competion with ‘original dance act ‘Twist and Pulse.’ getting the thumbs up from Simon, Piers and Amanda.
We shall know later this evening if Scotland is going to have a singing grandmother in Britains Got Talent final this Saturday.
LANARKSHIRE great-grandmother Janey Cutler is set to grow into an international celebrity after her Glasgow audition was broadcast on Saturday’s Britain’s Got Talent. The singing 81-year-old great grandmother – dubbed the new Susan Boyle (NuBo) – astounded the audience as well as judges with her performance of Edith Piaf’s ‘Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien’.
A Television audience of 11.7million watched as judges Simon Cowell, Peirs Morgan and Amanda Holden as well as a 3000-strong audience gave her a standing ovation. Amanda said that she thought the Royal Family “will love you” while Simon Cowell referred to the audience and said “3000 and 3 yes’s”. Now US channels, such as NBC and CBS, are preparing to beam her into countless American homes. Susan Boyle’s audition in 2009 was screened Stateside and made Boyle into a global superstar. Exactly like SuBo (49), Janey – who’s got seven children as well as 13 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren – is an unlikely star.
Janey, who received more than 770,000 hits on YouTube, stated that she was “over the moon,” simply to have been able to perform on Britains Got Talent Performing is all she has ever wanted to do, and she says: “The attention from America is making this experience even more of a dream come true.” Janey is a regular around the club and pub circuit in her hometown of Wishaw and surrounding districts, including shows at Hamilton’s Victoria Bar and Motherwell Miners’ Welfare Club.
Janey appeared on ITV’s This Morning on Monday and was initially exhausted after travelling from Wishaw to London, where she featured on other shows such as CBS News, and befroe travelling back home again. Daughter Janice says all the family was proud of her. She added: “It was brilliant seeing her on the TV and we’re all really happy.” Neighbour Edward Kearney stated: “She is a very pleasant person, always laughing. She did well on the tv.”
Janey’s rendition of ‘Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien’ has been described as one of the most outstanding events of the current talent search. Judge Piers Morgan says: “I’ve never heard anything like it. “Glasgow had been the place we unearthed the fantastic Susan Boyle a year ago. When Scotland seemed to be heading into its normal abyss of talentless delusion, out stepped a lady of a slightly older vintage who delivered an astonishing, spine-tingling two-minute performance.”
The song choice for Janey sums up her life. She said: “I’ve had a great life, seven kids, hard times, happy times, no regrets.” Friend Terry Moore, from Whitehill, added: “She was not sure about taking part at first and questioned doing it at her age. “We think she sounds like Dame Shirley Bassey in her heyday.” Piers Morgan added: “Janey’s performance is right up there with my favourite moments in BGT history.”
Janey advances to the next round, that will be shown on ITV later in 2010.
Janey Cutler, an 81 year old woman has stunned judges Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden through an incredible rendition of Edith Piaf’s ‘Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien’ and has already been tipped for the top spot on this year’s Britain’s Got Talent.
Janey gained a standing ovation from judges and the audience after impressing all of them. “It became that stunning moment where everyone realises something quite unique just happened. “ said one member of the audience “Janey was amazing and the judges were impressed. She’s the one to beat. Most certainly.”
Already comparisons are being made to last years Susan Boyle audition who took the whole world by storm after appearing on the talent show.
Simon Cowell is reported to be worried about the future of the show because it seems like the contestants are worse than in the past – it must have been a breath of fresh air when Janey Cutler turned up.
Simon had to make an apology in Cardiff over the quote “terrible” acts that they had to experience. He was also cited as saying “You have just witnessed one of the worst days in Britains Got Talent history.” Amanda Holden also claimed “This afternoon there have been no potential winners and no talent. “It was one of the worst talent shows we’ve ever had.”
It looks like the future for Janey Cutler is looking really bright, sure do hope that she has the energy to sustain it!
