She certainly won over the panel with the mystical performance, with Mel B telling her: "If I had the golden buzzer I'd press it again and again and again for you. You're just brilliant."

Simon Cowell added: "I have goosebumps on my goosebumps. Oh my god, Susan. That took me back all those years."

Almost lost for words, Susan said: "I enjoyed every second, and I've thoroughly enjoyed being in America. Thank you so much."

Returning to the spotlight in style, Susan is gearing up for a big year beginning with the release of her new album Ten.

The compilation album, which features four brand new tracks, is available for pre-order today and will be released on May 31.

She said: “I am really proud of this album, it has my favourite tracks from over the years and I hope you get as much joy out of it as I have had working on it and choosing the songs.

"I’m a lady who likes to surprise, which is why I want to keep the four new songs a secret for now and give you something to look forward to! We live in a time where there are very few surprises anymore. I promise you won’t be disappointed.”

Susan's performance in the AGT final airs in the US on Monday on NBC and in the UK on Netflix on Wednesday.

Last month Susan was left speechless when she was given the golden buzzer, sending her straight through to the final.

The star, reprised her hit cover of the Rolling Stones' Wild Horses for an emotional performance – and  won a standing ovation from the judges and impressed audience.

After earning a standing ovation for her rendition of Wild Horses, released by the Stones in 1971, judge Mel B pressed her golden buzzer.

The Spice Girl said: "What an absolute honour and pleasure it is to be sitting here and listening to you and your angelic voice. And I want to be the woman who gives you something you deserve."
