In her first U.S. performance, Susan Boyle sings "Wild Horses" on "America's Got Talent"

Everyone’s favorite Scottish singer Susan Boyle is once again stateside, this time to perform on the hit series “Dancing with the Stars.”

Boyle made her first U.S. trip to perform her moving rendition of “Wild Horses” on “America’s Got Talent.”

This time around the singing sensation, who flew into LAX yesterday, will do a repeat of her best known performance, “I Dreamed A Dream” from “Les Mis,” to promote her upcoming album of the same name.

Boyle will sing while dancers Tony Dovolani and Chelsie Hightower take the floor to shake their stuff.

The gossip mill was abuzz with predictions that Boyle’s appearance on “Dancing with the Stars” would mean a showdown with Sharon Osbourne.

Ozzy’s wife now famously bashed Susan on “The Opie & Anthony Show,” cruelly declaring that God hit the singer “with a f*cking ugly stick.”

When Susan’s mentor Simon Cowell heard about Osbourne’s comments, he said: "This is so typical of Sharon. She never knows when to keep her mouth shut.”

Osbourne’s daughter Kelly is a contestant on “Dancing,” but reports say the famous rocker wife and “America’s Got Talent” judge will not be on the show.

Yes, it was a nasty, cruel, malicious attack. I think Mrs O was drunk but she has obviously been stunned by the backlash against her.Serve her right! I wasn't over impressed by Simon Cowell's response.

I loved Susan's response at LAX when the reporter asked her what she thought of Sharon! What a classy lady... I knew Susan would be sweet and gracious. We welcome her back to America.

I'm not a gambler but put them in a boxing ring and I say Susan could take Mz."O" down in the first round! ;-) Of course that would never happen. Susan's a lady and has too much class to stoop down to Sharons level.

I'm sure our Susie can take care of herself. She is a lot tougher and not nearly as naive as some people think. She couldn't put as much emotion in her singing if she didn't know a lot about life. Sharon Osbourne is simply somebody to be pitied for her obvious lack of sense.

I'm sure SuBo can take care of herself. She doesn't need the media and her fans stirring the pot. If Sharon had any affect on her she wouldn't have shown up for the taping. Give it a rest.

Sharon not being there most likely has nothing to do with Susan. She hasn't been there for weeks. She got kicked out the very first week of the show. She has been there only one other week. Ozzy has been there many more times than Sharon.

I think Sharon got kicked out of dwts atleast once. They have most likely barred her from being there. What a mean mouthed woman she is. I feel bad for Kelly though as I think there is going to be a backlash against her for what her mother did.Shouldn't be that way but I fear it is going to happen. So happy Susan is going to be there and sing again for all of us.

Who cares if Susan sings live or not, as long as she sings...Sharon won't be there, she's too much of a coward...Susan won't care one way or the other because she knows what Osbourne really is...Poor Kelly, I hope this won't hurt her chances, she didn't chose her mother.

We are so happy and excited to have Susan stateside once again, and our Canadian neighbors will also have the pleasure of her company! It seems that our beloved Superstar will be seeing more and more of the world as time goes on, and looking as though she's "enjoying every minute of it". Susan, come to the Midwest - we love you here too.

Not trying to start something are we, Antoinette? Susan has already taken the high road about Mrs Osbourne when asked about what she thought about her, she said "she is a very nice lady". Topic closed. So live or not no worries. Susan will sing brilliantly as always and I feel sure would be fine with Kelly's mother being there to support her daughter. Petty she isn't.

A few Internet media posts I've read last 36 hours claim Susan will NOT be singing live on DWTS but will be recording her song(s) today, November 9th for broadcast tomorrow. I also have read at least one Internet media post that Sharon Osbourne WILL NOT be on set where Susan will be recording for DWTS today. Susan's U.S.A. itinerary has not yet been announced, IMHO there still is possibily she may yet appear on DWTS as a "guest star" and consequently the possibility exists they'll be in proximity of each other - stay tuned all here!!!

Susan's also singing in Rockerfeller Plaza live, NY on Nov 23, and appearing in Toronto, Canada on Nov 26! As for Sharon - Ms Boyle was asked about her at the airport and she replied 'She's very nice', etc. All class from Susan Boyle.

So excited for Ms Susan Boyle. As they say in show biz, "Break a leg," Susan. ~A really good decision that SO will not appear on DWTS. A shame that Kelly cannot have the support of her Mom though.
