BRITAIN'S Got Talent star Susan Boyle has proved five times more popular on YouTube than US President Barack Obama. The Scots singer’s sensational audition - singing I Dreamed A Dream from the musical Les Miserables - has been watched by 100 million fans worldwide on the video-sharing website, The Sun reported.

It dwarfs the 18.5 million who logged on to view clips of Mr Obama’s January inauguration ceremony, and it's only been been online for a week.

It is now 18 million views short of becoming YouTube’s most-watched video - overtaking Judson Laipply’s Evolution of Dance.

The self-confessed virgin from Blackburn is the site’s fastest chart-mover ever.

More than 850 users have uploaded videos of her.
