Susan's Got Talent

16/04/2009

This time last week none of us had heard of Susan Boyle, a church worker from West Lothian in Scotland, but that has all changed thanks to Britain's Got Talent.

After just one week of the show Susan has become a world-wide phenomenon despite the fact that Britain's Got Talent isn't even shown outside of the UK! In fact, Susan has become such a big star that a video of her startling performance on Saturday's show has now had over 11 MILLION views on YouTube! Not bad for the woman everyone doubted when she declared she wanted to be a singer up there with the likes of West End veteran Elaine Paige - proving you really can't judge a book by its cover.

Susan's star is rising so quickly that not only is she grabbing headlines this side of the pond, but she's creating a massive buzz in America too. She was featured on America's NBC Today Show , moving the host to tears and the Washington Post published a long article on her yesterday. Even Hollywood stars Ashton Kutcher and wife Demi Moore have been touched by the 'Boyle Effect', posting links on their Twitter pages to the video of Susan singing. See Ant & Dec's view on this week's crazy events in our exclusive video HERE. There you have it! We'll keep you posted as the story develops, but in the meantime visit the official Britain's Got Talent site HERE to watch Susan's amazing, tear-jerking performance once more.

  • Ant Dec, stay off the stage while people are performing, you ruin the mood of people like Susan, and try to steal some of their thunder. Thunder's bad for you.

  • Folks,

    Watch the video again real close.....

    The smile right before she started to sing, told the story

    Here's my OTHER SIDE you haven't seen... "You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet"

    Soars through the roof...very powerful....her mother was with her...

    And her victory dance at the end of the three yeses was PRICELESS..

    I bet she can put on quite a KITCHEN PARTY.. What a comic she is.

    Pier's with a lump in his throat, Amanda with tears, & Simon tongue-tied..

    VANCOUVER, BC LOVES YOU SUSAN

    Ant & Dec....you were both a pleasurable addition to the clip...

  • I Don't think Susan Boyle will make the final of Britain's Got Talent, someone will give her a record contract before the final, I will be very surprised if they have not.

  • Hi Susan

    I am from Pittsburgh, PA (USA).

    Success is the BEST revenge.

    You go girl.

    I need to join a Susan Boyle Anonymous group.
    I am hooked on her music and I am a metal head orginally.

    GOD BLESS YOU MS SUSAN

  • According to her bio, Susan has endurad lots of heartache in her village from the youngster over the years. They did not appreciate her at all over there. Poor Susan.
    But rest of the world has heard her voice and she is overnight sensation now ALL OVER the world. I hope those nasty youngster hang their heads down low in her village from shame for been so awful for her over the years.
    But Susan, you go girl and enjoy your singing succes. You do deserve every recognition coming your way. Best of everything
    you modern day Cinderella who also found her prince Charming.
