Lately one of the most popular YouTube videos is titled Susan Boyle. This is a clip from the reality elimination show Britain’s Got Talent. This is Britain’s talent show which would compare to our American Idol. Simon Cowell judges this show as well.
Susan Boyle was a contestant on this show. She is a short and stout, homely 47 year-old. She is currently unemployed and looked rather out of place when she stepped out on the stage. As she made her way across the stage in front of the judges you could hear snickers in the audience and people rolling their eyes, thinking this was going to be a joke.
She performed I Dreamed a Dream which comes from Les Miserables. As soon as she opened her mouth the whole crowd was still and drawn. Simon had a look of shock and awe on his face as he had to double-take to see if her talent really was what it seemed. Sure enough it was and it was so great that Susan Boyle received a standing ovation from everyone in attendance that show.
The judge Peirs told her, “"Without a doubt that was the biggest surprise I have had in three years. 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. I am reeling from shock".
The other Judge Amanda agreed, “"I am so thrilled because I know everyone was against you. We are all so cynical but that was a complete wake up call. It was a complete privilege".
And finally, the famous statement by Simon Cowell, who played everything off as if he knew what was coming, he said, “Susan, I knew from the minute you walked onto the stage that we were going to hear something extraordinary and I was right".
She had yeses from all three judges and can compete in the next round.
