the buzz log

A few weeks ago, she was nearly laughed off the stage before she even had a chance to sing. Now, after several stunning performances and a whip-lash rise to fame, Susan Boyle looks to be all but unbeatable on "Britain's Got Talent."

The show's finale is set to air this weekend. In the meantime, we examined the Search popularity of the "other" contestants. Does anybody have a shot at upsetting Boyle? Let's take a look...

The most popular non-Boyle contestant in Search is a close race. Shaheen Jafargholi holds a slight lead over another pint-sized singer, Hollie Steel. However lookups are rising at a faster pace for Steel. She's up 72% this week, while her rival's queries jumped 68%.

An article from TV Guide notes that judge Piers Morgan called Jafargholi's voice "breathtaking." Meanwhile, Morgan, never known to be hyperbolic, said this of Steel's return to the stage following a breakdown: It was "one of the most courageous things I have seen." Sheesh, we wish this guy would write our annual reviews.

Of the other finalists, Shaun Smith has the most formidable following. Called "authentic" by Simon Cowell, the 17-year-old saw his search profile surge following his semi-finals performance of U2's "With or Without You." The rest of the competitors, including dance acts "Flawless" and "Diversity," are far behind Steel and Jafargholi. If Searches equal winners (not always the case), they stand little chance.

But is this all a moot point? While Steel and Jafargholi have impressive online followings, their number of lookups are nothing compared to Susan Boyle's. Over the past week, the Scottish songstress has garnered 10 times the number of searches as her two rivals combined. Unstoppable? We'll find out on Saturday. But in Search, it certainly seems so.
