Britain’s Got Talent’s Susan Boyle (Photos/Video)
Posted on April 12, 2009
Talk about a huge surprise! Britain’s Got Talent (British American Idol) had an awesome performance by a lady named Susan Boyle. You have to see this for yourself. Read more below to see video of Susan Boyle singing.
Susan Boyle is one of those people that remind us that you can’t judge a book by its cover.
Boyle lives alone with her ten-year-old cat, says she has never been kissed, and is teased by kids in the street. But Boyle, 48, could be the UK’s next singing sensation.
Boyle sang the beautiful song “I Dreamed A Dream” from Les Miserables.
Boyle now could win the show and the chance to perform in front of the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance later this year.
Speaking to the media from her home in Blackburn, West Lothian, Miss Boyles says she was unfazed by the attention.
She said the success of Fauldhouse’s singing plumber, Andrew Muir, last year was a driving force behind her audition at Glasgow’s SECC in January, which will be shown on ITV tonight.
“Andrew Muir was fantastic last year and somebody local going on a show like that definitely inspired me to go on,” she said.
“I like Elaine Paige as an artist and try to model myself on her, but it’s all just for fun. I love singing. It keeps me going.”
The audience and the judges initially chuckled at Susan Boyle when she told them she wanted to be a famous artist like Paige and gyrated her hips. But that all changed after her performance, with Simon Cowell describing her as “a little tiger” while Morgan called her the “biggest surprise I’ve had in three years of this show”.
Miss Boyle said she was “very relaxed” about the praise, adding: “It’s quite an accolade what Simon Cowell said and I didn’t really know what to expect. I just went and sang. It would be a dream to have a career in singing and to be on the Royal Variety Performance. I’m very pro-royal.
“I’m looking forward to watching the show, although I’ll probably be critical of any mistakes I see, but I’ll take it all in good fun. It’s only entertainment after all.”
Neighbors of Boyle’s talk about what a nice person she is and her lovely singing.
One said: “Susan has an amazing voice and is a really lovely person. We’re certainly not surprised she has done so well with her singing. She’ll definitely make the final and maybe even win it.
“Her voice is lovely and we’ll all be supporting her during the show. Hopefully this will stop kids making fun of her because I know it upsets her sometimes, even though she says it doesn’t.”
Check out her performance that wowed and surprised both the crowd and the judges of Britain’s Got Talent:

In the 1970’s there was a show in London called ‘Stop the World I want to get Off’, well ‘The Britains Got Talent show’, ought to be stopped because the WINNERS been found in Glasgow, it must be ‘Susan Boyle’. What a voice, and what a pleasure it was to see an old fashioned daughter of WE, meaning WE the people, winning by a mile and a half. I called my wife in from the kitchen saying ‘Diane, come and listen to this woman sing’; and so, for 3 minutes our life and thoughts for tomorrow was shushed by her wonderful voice. Thank you Susan, and good luck.

I hope someone will help her with a makeover. I think she could improve her looks dramatically and let’s face it, that’s what it will take going forward. Talent aside, the entertainment industry is not all about what you can do, but what you look like doing it.

Ms. Boyle’s Singing is what she Loves.
Put a Symphony Orchestra
behind her and you will see
A Performance Of A Lifetime.
I sure some Scottish Songs are waiting to
be sung.
She may not have all the vocal training but she has her own unique style. Ms. Boyle’s moves people. The World right now needs a person who can move them with what I call a breath of fresh air.
The Older Singer and from a Scottish Heritage she is part of a Classical Culture of The Performing Arts.
Most Opera singers are noted for their voices. Ms. Boyle’s has alot of Scottish Heritage Ancestory that makes her the GENUINE REAL DEAL.
There is many layers in this ladies soul and spirit. The ageless gift she will freely be sharing with all of us now.

[...] During the interview, Britain’s Got Talent judge Piers Morgan joined in the discussion, admitting that he and fellow judges Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell had judged “a book by its cover” as did the audience. Morgan even apologized to Susan. You can see Susan’s audition here. [...]

Susan you have a beautiful voice and seem to have a beautiful personality as well. When I first heard you sing I was amazed and had chill bumps. You would have my vote if it were allowed
