Susan Boyle heads to 'Dancing with the Stars' stage today

The Scottish singing sensation is scheduled to appear on the live show today, according to gossip website TMZ.com.

According to reports she will sing a rendition of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah - which has famously been covered by a host of artistes including Jeff Buckley, k.d. Lang and Alexandra Burke - on the ballroom dancing competition.

Susan's appearance on Dancing with the Stars comes in the wake of her cancelled performance on America's Got Talent.

The 49-year-old star - who shot to fame on United Kingdom talent show Britain's Got Talent - was due to sing a version of Lou Reed's track Perfect Day with a 100-piece children's choir on September 9, but the performance was axed at the last minute because the rights to the song weren't cleared in time for United States audiences.

Susan was left with just two hours to rehearse a new song but decided it wasn't enough time and told organisers she wouldn't be taking to the stage.

A source said at the time: "Susan was really upset. She was in tears and was forced to pull out of the show, and decided to return to the UK."

Susan's scheduled appearance on Dancing with the Stars will be her second performance on the series. Last year, she sang her signature track I Dreamed a Dream, from the musical Les Miserables.
