Susan Boyle is in China. This time she's here for real.
The 50-year-old Scottish singer appeared on the stage of the Shanghai Stadium on Sunday night, where she graced the stage for the finals of the 2011 China's Got Talent series, as a guest performer. She sang two of her signature songs, "Who I Was Born to Be" and "I Dreamed a Dream".
Boyle was wearing a bright red dress designed with both Scottish and Chinese elements. She said the dress was tailor-made for the occasion.

The singer became an international sensation after impressing judges and audiences while competing in the 2009 Britain's Got Talent.
She told her Chinese counterparts, "Do your best and enjoy it."
The 2011 China's Got Talent champion went to 19-year-old Zhuo Jun, a self-taught body-popping dancer from a small village in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Sunday's performance was Susan Boyle's stage debut in China. When asked about her impression of China, she said the people are very friendly.
Boyle was reportedly invited to sing in China at a New Year's gala held by a regional TV station last December. The TV broadcaster announced the news and showed a contract signed with Boyle's name. But as fans eagerly waited, Boyle eventually failed to show up.
