Susan Boyle's live performance at AGT fake

London (ANI): Susan Boyle"s 'live' performance on TV show America"s Got Talent was a fake, it has emerged. According to the sources in Los Angeles, the singer"s version of Rolling Stones" song Wild Horses was recorded 'as live' the night before the performance.

The producers apparently played the track during her performance, making it look like she was singing it right then. “Given Susan"s history no-one was taking any chances. It was a sensible precaution to get her songs in the can. It took the pressure off her and enabled her to relax and give her best in front of her biggest-ever audience," the Daily Star quoted a studio source as saying.

However, the 68-year-old received standing ovation both for I Dreamed A Dream and Wild Horses, her new single. An audience member said: “It was a sensational performance. She actually moved many to tears." Susan"s debut album will be out later this year.
