This Woman 'Shut Up' Simon Cowell: Britian's Got Talent

51-year-old, Susan Boyle, represents talent overcoming adversity and poverty. Her modest and poor lifestyle in her home town Blackburn, West Lothian, Scotland brought about a "barren story" for this now famous singer. On April 11, 2009, Boyle appeared as a contestant on the TV program Britain's Got Talent. Dressed in modest homely attire, she was given immediate unfavorable reviews as she stood before the judges. The audience laughed at her as she told the judges she aspired to be "as successful as Elaine Paige". While Singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables, she startled the audience with her voice. After she finished singing, Boyle was regarded as "a big surprise."
This amateur vocalist became an overnight sensation. Websites such as KZbin, Twitter and Facebook made Boyle rise to fame easier. The following day after the performance, Digg and Reddit featured articles about her performance on their website and the KZbin video gained immediate popularity amongst readers. The performance video was viewed by nearly 2.5 million people on KZbin in the first three days. Her video set online records, after being viewed nearly 66 million times in one week. Wikipedia reported nearly half a million page views of her biographical article. 20 different websites reported a total of 103 million video views within nine days. The Los Angeles Times report that her popularity on KZbin may have been due to the emotion captured from the audience and judges, all packed into a short clip; which ultimately, made it "perfect for the internet"....

I´ve seen her first audition about 100 times, but I still get goosebumps every time she starts to sing. I love the surprised faces of the judges. She is the biggest talent ever on ANY talent show around the world.

If singing or just speaking - I could listen for hours. What an adorable person. What a softness in everything she shows and what a sweet kind of humor she has.... Just happy to know she is out there making the world a little brighter....

[@toyabrooks8449]

I adore the entire Susan Boyle experience, from rags to riches, from who is she to she's famous! I'm happy for Susan and I hope her fame becomes the flame that ever burns from United Kingdom to The United States and beyond!

yes, correct as stated by Ms Elaine Bedell, Director of Entertainment and Comedy, ITV, Ms Susan Boyle's was a true human story!!

[@JanDurgen]

Unemployed, middle aged, spinster. Yes, people always judge, but she had guts, a dream and great talent. Love to see people realize there is more to people than their exterior....

[@scribe712]

When she auditioned for BGT, I was under the impression she'd never actually sung in public before. Surprised to find out she actually had years of experience. She truly is an inspiration to people everywhere. Her life is proof dreams can come true and it's never to late to pursue them.

[@genataylor460]

I am so happy for this woman. Great talent, such a shame it only became known so late in her life. Seems like a nice, kind, low key lady with incredible talent. The kind of really decent people that make you happy when they finally get what they deserve, fame and fortune.

[@katherineuribe2952]

I love her because she looks like the average middle aged woman, and has the voice of an angel.

[@edieboudreau9925]

Since I've seen her audition she has been my favorite female singer. I have all her CDs and give many as Christmas gifts.

[@yvonnejackson5970]

jeezzzz people... Really... Comments about fashion....True life is not about what a person wears or does not wear....Its the true nature of the person that really matters.... we are so fixated on the image that we lose sight of the true worth of the person.... every person is valuable ... Has something to offer.. Every single person has something to contribute.... Her precious God given talent needs no particular adornments.... Her soul radiates through... And the sheer essence of her voice is so natural and clean.... One can't possible listen without totally being emersed in the emotions of the song..... I have also heard her other interpretations of other songs in later best selling albums and continue to feel the same....God bless you Sue ...and give you long life to continue shareing your profound musical gifts with us.... you truly are a gem....✝🎭💞

[@janethartwig774]

Beautifully produced video. Susan is a welcome addition to the music world.

[@ShadowinaCave]

That moment when they're looking at her scoffingly, and she starts to sing, still brings tears to my eyes.

[@sharonbass4392]

Believe me it's all an act with the judges, whether it's BGT or xfactor. They know exactly who the contestants are; they're handpicked (the good and the bad to make the shows more entertaining) during the first 2 auditions that take place before the one we see. Remember, this is show business more than a talent show. And listen to some of the rehearsed lines coming out of the judges. When Charlotte and Jonathon auditioned Simon made a derogatory remark before they started singing and then the duo blew him away, supposedly. Don't take these shows at face value, but still enjoy them.

[@fayewilliams3731]

Well Sharon, i strongly disagree with you. Susan was never heard by the judges before this first addition. She had and audition scheduled for 9:30AM that day but there was a scheduling mistake and she almost didn't get on. They told her to go home and Susan told them she had been 6 hours on a bus getting there, couldn't they squeeze her in somehow? They gave her a number with no promises. Susan didn't know when she would called so she didn't dare go get something to eat. So she set there for HOURS, another contestant offered her a sandwich, thank heavens, so she did get a bite to eat. She didn't get out of there until midnight!!! U know... i wonder if her brothers don't feel stupid, one of them is in the business!!!

[@juliosdiy3206]

Sharon Bass, ur right they knew these people, they put up a show.

[@ShadowinaCave]

There are many aspects of the show that are staged, obviously, but I don't believe the judges' response was one of them. They're simply not that good as actors.

None of them saw her value until she sang... the funny thing is, whether she could sing or not, she had extraordinary value. Who are we to judge another person? "...for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart." I Sam 16:7b

Susan Boyle tiene la magia de lo autentico, de lo original, por eso te llega al alma y ademas su calidad vocal es tal superior, tan magnifica, que ahi quedamos todos atrapados. Un abrazo Susan y gracias por habernos permitido conocerte.

[@juliacarlson6445]

Completely agree. So humble & genuine. We all fell in love with her instantly. She really had no idea how extraordinarily talented she is. She’s stayed humble & grateful. And we still love her. Now she’s worth more than Elaine Page so her dream has been exceeded! Simon Cowell has kept her protected which I really respect. Her lack of confidence can still cripple her & she’s whisked away to fully recover. Thank you Susan. You’re a very special person & your audition alone still lights up my life on bad days.

[@zztimemommom5586]

Susan didn't just make me fall off my chair with her brilliant singing! - she sent me flying across the room, down the hallway, around the terrace, and back to TV, where I lay gasping for air, and later I was completely confounded for the fact she did not win this contest. how could she lose?

To be a superstar after one evening, is not easy, especially if you are 47 years old ! The strain, the effort during the training for the final show is so excessiv, no wonder that susan got ill. But Susan Boyle is a very special star! Congratulation!

[@BrendaFayRegister]

She has one of the most beautiful, magnificent voices I've ever heard. When she sings it's as though time is standing still. It's like you're in a trans and your captivated. You don't want it to end. You're holding your breathe and not even realizing it until the end of her song/performance. The first time listening to her you're stunned. Astonishing! I wish her the best & God's speed 💙
