Susan Boyle: Road to Sucess

SUSAN BOYLE : Internet Celebrity





Bord: April 1, 1961
Origin: Blackburn, West Lothian, Scotland


(Susan is the youngest of nine children and lives in Blackburn, West Lothian with her ten year old cat, Pebbles. She stopped her pursuit of singing to look after her sick mother who died in 2007 aged 91. After her mother's death, Susan did not feel like going back to singing, but then, luckily for everyone, entered Britain's got Talent.)


Susan Boyle became an instant TV and Internet sensation in April of 2009, when she wowed viewers of the TV show Britain's Got Talent by singing the tune "I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical Les Miserables. Boyle is a plump and ordinary-looking woman from Blackburn, West Lothian, Scotland, and the show's judges (including the ascerbic Simon Cowell) seemed ready to hoot her off the stage during a brief interview before her performance. But then she staggered both judges and audience with her polished and emotional performance of "I Dreamed a Dream." A week later a clip of her song had been viewed 25 million times on YouTube, and Boyle was a sudden star in both the UK and the US. Boyle will return for the next rounds of the show at the end of May 2009.

Boyle's audition was actually taped in January of 2009, but didn't air until three months later... She told the judges she was unmarried and unemployed and had "never been kissed" (though she later told the Associated Press that last comment was a joke)... The Daily Mirror reported that Boyle "has never had a boyfriend and was bullied because of her appearance while growing up."
