Is Michael Collins the next Susan Boyle? He walked onto to the 2011 Britain’s Got Talent stage wearing scruffy tracksuit bottoms and a garish orange hoody and unsurprisingly the judges looked unimpressed.

Amanda Holden commented that he looked like he was going on a long-haul flight, to which McIntyre added ‘On Easy Jet’. These scathing comments, reminiscent of Susan Boyles first moment on stage was followed by a haunting rendition of Tracy Chapman’s ‘Fast Car’.

Michael Collins is just 22 years old and lives in a caravan with his parents in Saltash. He says that he would love to give his parents a proper home and a dream wedding for his fiancée Sarah and a better life for his 8 week old baby, Jamie who live in Plymouth.

If Michael Collins is the next winner of Britain’s Got Talent – will he be the next big thing? Or will the show chew him up and spit him out to fend for himself?

    I say good on the lad! He's obviously got talent - a nice voice, but perhaps more importantly a splendid sound with the guitar. Although his audition didn't have the wow factor of Susan Boyle's, I don't think anyone will match that again. I would be very surprised if he doesn't make the final - and although it's early days, he has a good chance of winning it. I'm not a massive fan of the talent shows, but Britain's got talent is my favourite because it's more about raw talent than most. Anyway, good on him!
