When 47-year Susan Boyle said that she wanted to be like Elaine Page, everyone was cynical, some even were laughing at her. So different was Susan from the other contestants at Britain’s Got Talent—she was not young, she didn’t have the looks of a “star”, she was plain, and never even been kissed at all (she said).
But when she sang “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables , everyone was mesmerized. It was a wake call for everyone, even the three judget, Mr. Nasty Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Ananda Holden, and the hosts Ant and Dec could not believe what they heard and saw.
All Susan Boyle wanted was to be a singer, and it seems like even at a late age, she will be living up to her dream. Here is Susan Boyle, a must see, a must listen to, an inspiration.

For her performance, Susan got the 3 biggest YESses from Britain’s Got Talent’s judges.

I watched it and it almost moved me to tears… Indeed, great gifts are sometimes wrapped in small packages…

It was stunning. Im guilty of laughing when i saw her come to the stage, but the moment she sang the first line, i was mum. It was a great performance. Good luck following your dream!

She is astounding! The first time I heard her voice, I thought I was listening to some Broadway superstar! What is more amazing about this woman is her cheerful, humble, and unassuming attitude with all the fame and attention she is getting.
I owe you a kiss!

Her voice sounds like Lea Salonga. Goodluck to her career.
