Darren Hayes: Devious prankster
London, England -- Britain's Got Talent contestant and YouTube sensation Susan Boyle is actually former Savage Garden frontman Darren Hayes in a fat suit, an anonymous source has revealed to several tabloid newspapers in London.
The bombshell revelation came as a simple handwritten note that said "Darren Hayes is Susan Boyle. Don't believe what you see." The note was accompanied by a DVD containing what appears to be hidden camera footage of a man resembling Hayes "changing" into Susan Boyle while singing "I Dreamed A Dream," the same song she sang recently on the hit British talent contest.
"We are taking it with a grain of salt, but the evidence is very compelling." says The Sun's Jon Gaunt. "The man in the video, if that is indeed Darren Hayes, looks and sounds very similar to Susan Boyle."
The video clip quickly made its way to YouTube but was taken down just as swiftly by YouTube personnel, following threats of legal action from Darren Hayes' camp. The Australian singer has yet to release an official statement regarding the matter, and attempts to contact Susan Boyle directly for comment have been unsuccessful, causing speculations to fly all over the Internet.
Many fans believe that the pop star has been inspired by the antics of American actor Joaquin Phoenix, who has recently "switched" to a rapping career and displayed odd behaviour publicly. Rather than follow a similar path, Hayes chose to embody the essence of a 47-year-old perky virgin from West Lothian, Scotland who could sing really well.
"I have seen the video and have no doubt it's Darren. He is a devious prankster at heart," says Devon Laitmark, 25, on a Darren Hayes fan forum. "The question is why? What's the payoff?"
Whatever it is, fans are lapping it up. Excitement is already building up for Susan Boyle's next performance on the third season of Britain's Got Talent. The contestant received a standing ovation after her performance of "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserables and is touted as a strong contender to win the title this year.
I wish I had seen the youtube vid.
The sad thing is that I had many many a wet dream about Darren Hayes and (even more) about Daniel Jones in my youth.

Are you SERIOUS? People really need to find something better to do. Aside from the fact that I saw her performance and it doesn’t even sound like Darren. LoL Plus she’s been on talk shows since… Lord…
Did they delete the video?
I wish I would have seen it!
LOL that’s so funny. Darren himself posted a link to this artical on his twitter page. He has a fantastic sense of humour, it could well be him.
i personally think darren’s too pretty to pull something like that off.
