Yesterday we reported how Susan Boyle's Britain's Got Talent performance has already been watched by millions of people online, including more than four million views on Yahoo! Video.

Now it's been revealed that the Scottish charity worker can already count A-list Hollywood stars among her fans after Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher praised her on Twitter.

Ashton was first to comment on her performance of I Dreamed A Dream, saying: "This just made my night."

His wife Demi replied to his message and revealed "You saw it made me teary!"

Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell will reportedly offer Susan a record deal whether or not she triumphs in the show.

Media interest in Susan from around the world has been intense following Saturday night's programme, including interview requests from radio stations in the US and Australia.

In the UK, the popularity of her performance has led to another recording of the song by Patti Lupone entering the midweek charts. Under the rules of Britain's Got Talent, it's unlikely that Susan's version will get a release until after the series ends - despite massive public demand.

The 48-year-old is already bookmakers' favourite to win the talent show at 5/2, despite only one of the audition shows having been shown by ITV.

What did you think of the performance? Watch it below and let us know...

    Susan is a remarkable untapped talent. I cried when I watched this on Saturday night and the whole family clapped and cheered at the end even though we were at home; I don't think anyone has ever had that effect on us before! I wish Susan every success - she has a wonderful voice and seems like a lovely, modest lady.

    Susan Boyle was absolutely brilliant!!!!! She epitomises the derth of talent that is in the UK. It is tinged with sadness that because of her "image" she would never have gotten a second look. Let us hope that Susan wins this competition.

    Stunning voice. Demi Moore wasn't the only person to be teary. Oh, how quick we are to judge. I hang my head in shame.
