The previously unknown 47-year-old singer from Blackburn, West Lothian, Scotland has won millions of worldwide fans with her astonishingly brilliant and touching rendition of ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ from Les Miserables on Britain’s Got Talent, winning over cynical and disbelieving judges Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden and a jeering audience who could not have fathomed what was in store from the singer who declared she wanted to emulate the successful career of West End legend Elaine Paige.

Days later, the standing ovation and cheering goes on, as Susan Boyle has become a worldwide YouTube viral video sensation, a media star, and an inspirational story around the world. You can see the video that launched her international recognition on YouTube here.Susan Boyle has appeared on numerous television programs in the UK as well as the U.S. where she has appeared on the television morning shows, Good Morning America and CBS Early Show, as well as on cable networks Fox and CNN. During that interview she told viewers she is, ‘absolutely gobsmacked’ by the worldwide response she has received.

Susan Boyle has been singing since age 12, starting in school plays. She has studied singing privately and had success in local talent competitions, but as she had told the audience at Britain’s Got Talent, she had never had the opportunity to pursue a professional career. She shared what it was like to sing before such a skeptical audience and judges. “I just thought mentally, I’ll show them, so I did,” she said. “If people are cynical, you try and win them ’round and it worked. It must have been a miracle, but it worked.”

In a recent interview, two of the Britain’s Got Talent Judges, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan, admitted they had prejudged the singer. Morgan went on to apologize to the singer.“I would just like to apologize to Susan Boyle, because I think it’s long overdue, because, from the clip, you know, (millions of) people could see that Simon Cowell (the third judge that night — he of “American Idol” fame) and I — we don’t have the best reputations, I think, for courtesy in America. I think we owe her on apology because it was an amazing performance. As I said, we were all laughing at her when she started, and by the end, the last laugh was on her.”

The competition is not over, as the international star follows up her ‘I dreamed a Dream’ performance with the Susan Boyle ‘Whistle Down the Wind’ performance on Britain’s Got Talent.

In an interview, Simon Cowell has said that winning is not a given for the now international star, and that the competition is not ‘quite the one horse race you are going to think this is.’ He also did not confirm if he would represent the singer.
