Susan Boyle Shakes the Earth on Britian’s Got Talent
Over the weekend, Simon Cowell and friends hosted Britian’s Got Talent. A sort of free-for-all American Idol: singers, dancers, comedians and any other talent having being can participate. So in walks Susan Boyle, nearly 48, currently unemployed, lives alone with her cat named Pebbles, and a singer who has always wanted to perform in front of a large audience.
On this show the auditions aren’t in some tiny room in city xyz. The contestants deliver for the first time in front of thousands of people. Susan Boyle looks like the classic first rounder: a complete disaster.
When she talks about wanting to be like Elaine Paige..
People laugh.. or is that horrified?
Some get a yuck face.
Susan Boyle’s not shaken by the response and her confidence seems to have the judges intrigued by what’s to come. Her chosen song was “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables. Five seconds in, via clips like this, she’s the talk of the web.

Simon Cowell was glowing after her performance, but one of the other judges (Piers Morgan) summed it up.. “When you stood there with that cheeky grin and said I want to be like Elaine Paige, everyone was laughing at you. No one is laughing now. That was stunning. An incredible performance.”

Here’s why we love Susan.

Long time no see Chris! I heard Ms. Boyle sing and I was pleasantly surprised. Something so unexpected. I’m not a big fan of the type of music she sang but her voice was undeniable. Just goes to show you NEVER judge a book by it’s cover.
I really don’t think this lady is great singer like every body is makeing her out to be.if you really wonna know i think it’s because she is white.if a white person fart loud the pub press think it’s so cute.and the give them a million dollar oppertunity of a life time.and what ...oah dont say nething smart back nether i got my opinion and in sticking to it….
so i think she cant not sing, i seen and heard better singing. plus she does not have that look that singers are suppose to have. and this is just my opinion.
I thought she was amazing, and the fact that it was so unexpected made it even so much better, I am an american and I just hate American Idol, but I love BGT, I think this show is more real and entertaining, I can not name one contestant from American Idol, but I know who Andrew Johnston, Paul Potts and now Susan Boyle is, also I am a Scott so I am happy Susan did well shows us Scotts have talent to.
