Hello there!
Hello. How are you doing?
I'm good. How are you?
My name is Susan Boyle.
I'm nearly 48.
Currently unemployed, but still looking.
And I'm going to sing for you on
"Britain's Got Talent" today.
A little nervous?
Yeah, sure. Yeah.
Well, that's not surprising don't you know!
I got faith, wouldn't you know!
At the moment I live on my own
with my cat, called Pebbles
But I've never been married.
Never been kissed.
Oooh!
Shame!
But it's not an advert!
And have you done this for many a year?
Since I was twelve.
Since you were 12?
I've always wanted to perform in front of a large audience
I'm gonna make that audience rock!
Hi, what's your name, darling?
My name is Susan Boyle.
Ok, Susan. Where are you from?
I am from Blackburn near Bathgate, West Lothian
That's a big town?
It's a sort of... a collection of…
...a collection of...
...villages.
I had to think there
And how old are you, Susan?
I'm 47.
and that's just one side of me.
Heh, heh! I love her!
Ok, what's the dream?
I'm trying to be a professional singer.
And why hasn't it worked out so far, Susan?
I've never been given the chance before,
but here's hoping it will change
Ok, and who would you like to be as successful as?
Elaine Paige. Elaine Paige?
What are you gonna sing tonight?
I'm gonna sing "I dreamed a dream" from "Les Miserables"
Ok.
Big song!
Yeah?
Yeah!
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
You didn't expect that, did you?
Did you? No!
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung
No wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame
Wow!
Look at that!
And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed the dream
I dreamed
Hello!
Hey, come back here!
Yes, yes. Get back, get back!
Alright. Thank you very much Susan. Pierce?
Without a doubt, that was the biggest surprise
I have had in 3 years on the show
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!
an incredible performance!
Amazing, I'm reeling from shock.
How about you two?
I'm so thrilled because...
I know that everybody was against you.
I honestly think that we all were all being very cynical,
and I think that was the biggest wake-up call ever!
and I just want to say that it was
a complete privilege listening to that.
It was extra brilliant!
Susan, I knew the minute you walked out…
OH, SIMON!
…on that stage that we were gonna hear something extraordinary
and I was right.
What a load of touch!
Susan, you are a little tiger, aren't you?
I don't know about that.
You are. Ok, moment of truth,
Pierce, yes or no?
The biggest YES I have ever given anybody
Amanda?
Yes, definitely! It's brilliant!
Amanda?! You too?!
Susan Boyle, you can go back to the village
with your head held high.
It's three "yeses"
Well, I think you enjoyed that just a little?
Wouldn't you have?
What a voice!
Incredible!
Congratulations!
Oh my God!
Congratulations!
Oh my God!
How do you feel?
Bloody fantastic!
Pierce has the biggest yes
he's ever given on the show!
in three series! - Yeah!
Oh my God!
Mind blowing!
Most extraordinary shock we've ever had…
So emotional,
unbelievable and emotional!
and fantastic.
