This performance is iconic. It taught most people not to judge a book by it's cover.

[@SkitSkat674]

I'm so glad she got her chance and has been able to share her talent with others. She has a beautiful voice.

[@Allegory_of_Wolves]

To this day, Susan's voice still makes me emotional. ♥ But I'd like to add this: everyone was so quick to judge her for her quirky, maybe old-fashioned style and looks that perhaps don't match up with today's "beauty standards" - until they heard her incredible performance. Everyone changed their minds about her then. Which is awesome! But everybody who reacted like this, should also think about how often in life they judge other people, who end up not having such a wonderful talent to "redeem" themselves with. Susan is now a star, because she got this great chance. But there are so many people, who simply don't look like supermodels, too, or who are disabled because of health issues (or simply age; we'll all get there!) or who are poor and can't afford fancy clothes, or people who just have a different (life) style and get covered in tattoos, dye their hair green, enjoy wearing historical clothes in our modern days, or whatever else makes them different from the norm. Different skin color, different gender, different beliefs, different interestst... And maybe they can't even sing like Susan or something like that, but they could be the most kind-hearted people, the most loving parents, devoted animal rescuers, helpful neighbors... Or even if none of that, still people with feelings who can get hurt by superficial judgement. Don't judge a book by it's cover! Judge people's character, not their looks. You might get surprised, how interesting the most unusual people can be, once you give them a chance to get to know you. ;-)

[@Emobunneh]

When I first saw her audition a long time ago I thought at the beginning of the video everyone was giggling because she had a cool accent that was cute, or because most people come on the show when they are younger, and then because she did the hip thing. 😔 I felt bad when I realized more of the context of why they were laughing (and I realized also the accent thing doesn't make sense given it's from BGT), but her confidence in the face of it knowing why there were giggles is impressive. 😃 I would love to have even 10% of that kind of confidence lol.

[@Allegory_of_Wolves]

@@Emobunneh 💖 I love your comment! And you're right, this woman's confidence was/is impressive. But you, too, can have it! I wrote my original long comment, because I speak from experience when it comes to being bullied. I was always different, always the outcast. I'm from Germany, but as a child I lived in Africa. There I got bullied because I was from a different country. Then we moved back, and in Germany I got bullied because I'd lived in Africa. Then I came into puberty and wasn't so lucky with my skin, and got made fun of because of that. Then I started having my very own, unique, kinda crazy hippie-gypsy-boho clothing style, and got bullied and shunned because of that. Instead of dressing more normal in order to get more accepted by my school mates, I dressed up even more and then went into the school band as a lead singer. I can't even hold a tune in a bucket! I just did it, to make a point of not "backing down" just because other people had different tastes in something so meaningless as clothes or how you puberty skin looked. Now I'm 43. I have emerald green hair, 17 tattoos, lots of scars on my arms from harming myself when I was younger, and I still dress in fancy stuff. I never get bullied anymore! Grandmas come up to me in grocery stores and tell me I look like a mermaid, and they'd dye their hair colorful, too, if they could just be young again. And I reply, they're not to old to do it NOW! Stangers on the tram tell me about my clothes how great it looks. People turn around and smile or flirt all the time, even though I surely don't look perfect (I still have some acne scaars on my skin from puberty, and my nose could be a raven's beak, lol). Since the pandemic began, I've isolated myself a lot, but before that, I did historic/medieval reenactment, and I loved to go dancing at goth and rock clubs. I wouldn't go onto a stange and try to sing anymore!! XD But, you know, confidence comes from owning your uniqueness! From embracing being different! Thank goodness we're not all on a big stage every day, where hundreds of people get to judge us. But that thing, that Susan did there - this acting as if she already owned the place... I think, that's the trick to emanating the (self-)confidence, which then makes people look at you in a positive light. Might not always work in school - kids are little assholes! But I swear, as an adult you can be what and however you want, beautifully and confidently, and most people who don't like your style will just ignore it, and the rest of them will lift you up for it. 💜

[@Emobunneh]

@@Allegory_of_Wolves 🥺 I am so sorry so many were mean to you, you sound like a really nice person. I was shy and depressed and kind of silent for awhile, but got along well with people in school. It was after school I had a bunch of stuff happen that kind of shattered me and my confidence. I am glad you are doing so much better and not getting bullied! 🤗 It's awesome that you can inspire others now too!

I was completely wrong, because she was one of the nicest persons I have ever met. Later on I did an evening school and we had someone in our class, who loved to dress up in Ghotic-look.(I hope it is called like this in English) I liked this guy, because he was the most helpful one, but many avoided him, only because of his looks.

It just struck a nerve when you mentioned animals. As for the topic on hand judgement by aperance is a hard thing to overcome it's almost at the forefront of our thoughts when we see people dress or act out of the total norm. It's often thoes people who we judge that end up teaching us just how wrong we were in our Thoughts. The fact is each & every one of us are born beautiful in every way as we were created by God & Thank GOD Himself For forgiving us for the way we act because judgement twords others we see but don't know is wrong & the lesson seams to always be taught when we take time to get to know a person before casting judgement & usually the person you quietly Judged turns out to be people we can all learn from.

@@michaeldavis6550 Oh, that is nice do hear and about you believe, good do know, I was raised roman catholic, but found soon out how much of "another propaganda" is and now I am following "the old path", like the Druids had it and still some Native American do. When will people realise, that we all believe in the same things, only that there are humans who claim to be "something chosen" like the pope in Rom. For me the worst lier of all! Even the Church of Ireland do not see the pope as "their boss", or anything else. I am originally from Austria. I do not fear the end and it's "judgement", because when I learned enough, what I had to learn, I have nothing to fear, otherwise I only get "send back" (although I hope last one is not happening). Get rid of your fear and you will see, how many want people keep in fear, so that they can control them better. Look at nature and tell me, where you find animals who have fears in the wild? I pet, you will see none. I do not speak of pets and of them who had terrible owners, because they are domesticated. I mean the wild. A crow will always attack a buzzard when it comes to near to its nest. At least in the area where I live, where nature can be nature. And it needs only one crow, to show the buzzard its "red line" and the buzzard understands it and sails into another direction! Go and have a look and you will see, all the "church stuff" is only "another propaganda". Enjoy your weekend. ❤️

You had the option to re-record your reaction showing yourself in a better, less judgemental way and you are generous in spirit and honesty to have posted this. Your heart and empathy are so warming. Thank you! This, too, teaches us a lesson.

She has been an education to literally millions of people on prejudice; how first opinions can be so utterly misleading and cruel; and how talent can exist where we suspect none - with zero evidence and 100% ill-judged presumptions.

She didn't wait to find out whether they liked it. Her dream was to go out there and sing in front of a big audience, and she did it, and that was all she wanted. so authentic!

[@huson-7wk]

The package wrapping doesn't show the inner gift, that surely Susan has. She is just fantastic!!!! Also, she has now sung with Elaine Paige and, of course, many other artists!!!

[@alisonrandall3039]

What a fantastic way to describe someone.

[@Music_is_Breathing]

Everyone laughed at first, no one expected this! Huge surprise!!! She didn't win but still her career took off! Multiple CDs and TV appearances. She even sang WITH Elaine Page, and she was WAY better than Elaine. Love you, Susan!!!!!

[@toddsubjent7142]

She has indeed more than equaled the talent of Ms Elaine her singing together the dream indeed realized!

[@lindaaumiller7592]

This voice is a real treasure for the ears. Your reaction was wonderful.

[@pinksugarcookies71]

Everyone reacted the same way as soon as she began to sing. Hand over the mouth and just so moved. I remember watching this and crying. Still wowed by this.

[@annmeacham5643]

I still get goosebumps no matter how many times I’ve seen this clip!

[@kidsgrove-spider8405]

I judged the book and was astounded when the pages where opened, her voice made me cry

[@kimtucker3540]

She SHOCKED EVERYONE!!! Never judge a book by it's cover. SHE IS AMAZING!!!

[@Doddciiy201]

13 years on... and her performance is still mind blowingly powerful!

[@lesleycooper7544]

Love her singing. Wild Horses xxxx

[@TheGBSI]

Her voice hit me the same way. Even now, after hearing her voice a hundred times, it STILL hits me to the core, EVERY SINGLE TIME, that I hear it. She is incredible, and such an awesome person.

[@mixedandknot5911]

Your expression was priceless when first listening to Susan Boyle. Beautiful!

[@FierySquirrel.]

I remember watching this at the time...we all giggled.And we all had tears in our eyes when she started singing.It took her 47 years to actually show her amazing talent,that is kinda sad,don't you think?

[@jeanwaechter1575]

I believe the people in her village were aware of her singing talent. Think she sang in church and in public locally.

[@netta-d]

she is soo big now days, and beautiful, i heard her the first time, a fan right that minute

[@mariannevandenberg9777]

never judge a person by his cover .. this is a live lesson nd never forget it ..

[@jeanwaechter1575]

I absolutely loved this performance and especially Simon’s reaction. He is a fierce critic and knows his music and the music industry. He was duly impressed. Hoping it just wasn’t the look he gets in his eyes and face when he’s counting the money ahead of time. Very happy for Miss Boyle that her dream of becoming a professional singer came true. So happy for myself and the world who gets to feel joy from her enormous talent. God bless her.

[@Boogledigs]

You should listen to her singing "Wild Horses". Makes my hair stand on end. STUNNING!

[@debbiethomasson2709]

I watch you react to this over and over. A truly wonderful reaction, you speak for everyone.

[@shahinreacts]

Thank you so much my friend 🙏🥺

[@debbiethomasson2709]

[@mariadulcejacques5382]

She is the best ! Fantástica, maravilhosa, esplendorosa .

[@Teresia12]

Everytime i see this i cry. She just is so amazing. She does give you chills all over.

[@LadyDragonsblood]

Now go watch her performance of "Wild Horses" on AGT The Champions.

[@margenda1]

Wydaje mi się, że nikt poza SUZAN nie umiał by tak przejmująco oddać treści tej piosenki - brawo, jestem pełna podziwu i uznania dla jej pięknego głosu 🇵🇱❤️Marianna

[@ninajones1175]

After this she had to take some time away because she wasn't prepared for such a media uproar but she came back stronger than ever and is now an international superstar. She still lives in her village though and is known to be a humble and kind human being. THIS is the kind of talent who I love to see and why I watch these shows. Go explore her other songs. She is inspiring!

[@kellyvandijk3269]

She’s so sweet ❤

[@lorenageless]

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback- it was actually cooler that you weren’t ready for it! I love the way you did such a 180 - you made my day by being so in awe and appreciative of her.

[@MockingBirdCanta]

She's gone on to have a singing career after that performance. Love Susan !

[@stephenrafter1022]

Susan Boyle was the best audition ever seen on modern TV. Nobody has and will ever beat that audition. Susan shocked the world. Imagine that. Plus she is a lovely woman in real life. She sings like an Angel on steroids. . Amazing woman and very much loved in Ireland where I am from and texting from.

[@alexandrasophia24]

I love this lady so much and she has a beautiful voice amazing.

[@motzartiana]

i love his reaction to her - like myself hearing her sing i wanted to shed a tear of joy and amazement !!

[@lucynagrabda5480]

Susan ❤❤❤ Oglądam tysiąc razy i ciągle mi mało Kocham Kocham Poland

[@ShelleyHannaArt]

No matter how many times I see this, I still cry and get goosebumps. What nobody saw when she walked out and started talking, was that she was 100% confident in her talent because she had clearly trained her voice for decades. Her voice is such a gorgeous voice and it IS a privilege to listen to it.

[@magpiegirl3783]

First time seeing this, I was so moved. She was such an underdog and came out on top - I think that's what everyone reacts to. She has a wonderful voice. Went on to make some incredible albums and perform with her idol, Elaine Paige. She made her dream come true despite what she was up against. And aren't we the better for it?

[@virginiahopkins5735]

I have been following her since seen her BGT. She has achieved her dreams, From America, I have bought all her music in the years since first hearing her so many years ago. Brings piece to my heart to listen to this angle sing.

[@barbk2324]

I cried the first time I saw her song. I was worried that she would not be a good singer and I was AMAZED. I still cry every time is see her. She had many more songs and is famous world-wide. I just subscribed to you after seeing your reaction. You should listen to Susan Boyle “Wild Horses.” Incredible.

[@lindaouellette6656]

Laughing in the beginning and crying at the end, was all of us with Susan😂😢

[@lisalovett1638]

She actually did sing with Elaine Page in a Television Special and on stage!

[@timegan1884]

Beautiful reaction. Made me cry to when I saw her audition. Huge shock and great surprise.

[@HaraldSeiwert]

When I attended a musical performance some years ago in Edinburgh she sat in front of me in the audience. Chatted a little and I remember her as quite funny and witty. She is really special.

[@hiall5630]

She's a Beautiful soul, my BEST friend died from COVID-19, she Loved her, and I listen to this song almost every day.. to feel what she felt when she listened to you.🙏🙏🙏 Bless you Beautiful lady, and Thank you 🥺❤️

[@johnsmiths9395]

precious reaction at the end. thank you

[@Grummash]

This performance blew every single mind in the UK

[@Red-fs1jw]

And the world

[@connie7128]

One of life's biggest lessons was taught to me years ago when I first saw this. Never judge a book by its cover. ❤️

[@-Mieke]

She's an angel❤ I've seen this so many times allready and every time it is special to watch🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@debraleesparks]

You should hear her sing “Wild Horses” !!! Love Grandma Debbie

[@kenhartman9981]

Hello Debra how are you doing today

[@melissabrooke1146]

I never tire of watching this audition ❤️

[@deborahwortham4051]

I still tear up and get chills every time I watch her audition. Incredible !

[@TheRoisin1966]

I remember watching this at the time. Everyone laughing and by God she showed how it’s done. Still gives me chills. The next day everyone worldwide knew Susan Boyle 💕

[@TheCgmullen]

I had the same reaction the first time I heard her a well. Like listening to an angel.

[@roxannaweaver2155]

I saw this when the program ran on TV and I knew when she gave that little smile before she started singing: She knows something you don't know! I was right and it was the first time I have ever cried when I heard someone sing the first time. Not even Elvis made me cry.

[@amandadavies..]

Finally someone who thought the same as me. I saw this at the time it was first shown on TV (and many many many times since) and I had a feeling she was going to be good. I said to my son "Just watch this she's going to be good" and she certainly was. He said to me "How on Earth did you know?" to which I replied "Gut instinct"

[@donna1482]

She is an amazing beautiful person, and how the world judge's a book by its cover, this is why the world is how it is, always remember NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER! just because someone seems or looks different it doesn't make them not human and without feelings, whoever they are. She is a wonderful example of this 🇬🇧
