She Had a Dream
Your jaw will drop when you see this!
Watch Susan Boyle on Britain's Got Talent -- the video everyone's been talking about can now be embedded on your blog via Tangle. She's a little "eccentric" and cheeky, but oh so talented.
The Anchoress shares this:
It seems that Simon Cowell’s people are already pursuing Boyle, who got a standing ovation from her church after her appearance on Britain’s Got Talent.
Before going on stage, Ms. Boyle admitted some self-deprecating facts about herself (she’s never been kissed and lives alone with her cat, Pebbles). For those reasons and more, audiences were expecting the female William Hung. They were wrong...
Watching the ITV1 show in her council home in West Lothian, she wasn’t focusing on her amazing rendition of West End hit I Dreamed a Dream. She was too shocked at how she looked.
Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, Susan, 48, said last night: “They say that television makes you look fat and it certainly did. “I looked like a garage. It was mortifying to see and a bit of a shock. I didn’t realise I could reduce people to tears and I hope it wasn’t because of that.”
But Susan – who has never had a boyfriend and was bullied because of her appearance while growing up – is determined not to let it upset her.…She got a standing ovation when she walked into her local Catholic church for yesterday’s Easter service.
She said: “It was incredible. Although we sing in church, not a lot of them knew how good I was, so it was a bit of a shock to them. I’m a bit shy and retiring so they would never have known. It was very emotional.
“Everyone is very nice and it’s lovely when all the kids stop me in the street to congratulate me.”
A Boyle-smitten reader has sent in some trivia on her:
A lifelong Catholic, and one of the youngest of nine children, she cared for her aging parents while the rest of the family was out having a life. Her father died at a ripe old age about ten years ago and her mother died just two years ago. Miss Boyle has been in mourning for two years.
She’s a 47 year-old virgin and has never been kissed… In singing for Britain’s Got Talent, she fulfilled her mother’s last wish…for her mother wanted her God-given talent to shine before men for the glory of God.
