Early experience

The full name of "aunt Susan" is Susan Magdalene Boyle.

Susan Boyle is from a small town in south central Scotland. Despite the bizarre contestants on the famous British TV talent show "Britain's got talent 2009", viewers are still amazed by Susan Boyle's "no star index". However, the 47 year old country woman wrote "I had a dream" from les miserables. It shocked the audience and made a great success in England, which really explained what "people can't be beautiful". Ordinary but full of dreams and talents, she is likely to copy the success of another talent, Paul Potts, and turn her life around with her singing.

Susan, who works for charity at the local church, began singing at the age of 12 and has always dreamed of becoming a professional singer like Elaine Paige. At the beginning, as soon as Susan Boyle came to the stage, no one wanted to hear her sing at all. The audience still wanted to see her jokes, not to mention the acrimonious judge Simon Cowell, who kept asking questions and taunting her, trying to embarrass her, and even showed that she lived in a rural place that she had never heard of.

However, when Susan began to sing the first sentence of the song "I had a dream" in the musical les miserables, the judges were surprised and opened their eyes and mouth. The audience can only be described as thunderous, shrieking and clapping. Many of the women in front of the TV also kept calling the TV station to say that they were affected by Susan's singing, including Hollywood star Demi Moore.

On July 6, 2012, Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh awarded Susan Boyle an honorary doctorate.

Acting experience

Participating in the program

On April 11, 2009, in ITV's famous talent show "Britain's got talent", Susan Boyle, who is not amazing in appearance, shabby in clothes and incoherent in speech, appeared on the stage. Facing Susan, who is old and has no star appearance, judge Simon Cowell asked casually, "what's your dream?" Susan replied honestly, "be a professional singer and be a singer like Elaine Peggy." This response provoked bursts of laughter. "Susan, why haven't you realized that dream so far?" Simon looks like he's going to laugh. "I've never had a chance, but tonight I hope I can." Susan pointed to the scene as she spoke. The audience will answer, so the chance is slim.

When the music started, Susan began to sing "I had a dream" from the musical les miserables. The moment she spoke, a miracle happened! The judges and the audience were immediately shocked by the sound of nature, all the contempt turned into admiration and applause.

This scene became the world's most popular online video in mid April 2009. In a short period of time, the number of people watching the video of her competition exceeded 100 million, far higher than the number of people watching the inauguration ceremony of US President Barack Obama (18.5 million). Susan has become popular! Susan has become the focus of the media. All kinds of talk shows and record companies have invited her.

Susan Boyle has become a global hot topic. British media said that many people were moved because Susan subverted the popular entertainment culture of judging people by their appearance. Schwarzbaum, a famous reporter of entertainment weekly, wrote on her blog: today's popular culture is full of packaging, while Susan Boyle's unsophisticated artistic power "redefines the measure of beauty". What does Susan think of this issue? Susan said: "I had expected people to look down on my appearance, but I decided to make them look up to it. Before "Britain's got talent," I didn't have the right opportunity. You must keep working hard, step by step, and you will succeed in the end. Never give up the dream in your heart

Fame experience

In 1995, 33 year old Susan participated in the popular British talent show "my kindof people". "I was too nervous to sing because of excessive shaking. I passed the primary, but I didn't get the chance to be on TV," she recalled in an interview

Although the TV station never broadcast, but this video has been completely preserved. The reason for Susan's over nervousness is the ridicule and indecency of Mike Barrymore. Susan in a pink suit knocked out comedian Barrymore as soon as she appeared. When she began to sing the theme song "how to love him" of the musical "superstar of all time", Barrymore quietly walked behind her and suddenly fell under her skirt, pretending to be "peeping". As she sang, Susan kicked him in the face and finally had to kneel down to sing. After singing, Barrymore grabs Susan and kisses her. There were bursts of laughter from the audience.

After that, Susan was wiped out of the show and was not allowed to appear on TV. The video has never been officially saved. Coincidentally, the daughter of another contestant, Elizabeth McClane, recorded the whole process with a home video camera and sold it to a Scottish tabloid at a high price yesterday.

"Susan is right in front of me," McClane told reporters. When she spoke, I immediately realized that she had a great voice. But Barrymore kept making fun of her. When I saw her in Britain's got talent, I couldn't believe she was the one who auditioned with me 14 years ago

Fans plead justice for Susan

The video became the most viewed video on YouTube since Susan performed "I dreamed of it.". Many fans expressed their sympathy for the idol. "It's hard to imagine how much courage you have to muster to get back on the stage of Britain's got talent after such an unbearable experience," a netizen said in a message

At the same time, Barrymore, whose career has been declining for a long time, has been brought up again, bearing the criticism of fans for the old debt 14 years ago. "He took Susan's chance to show her talent in such a rude way"; "this is the typical Barrymore, I remember the show. He hated really talented people, but he was nothing. Look who's behind now. On the same day, Barrymore was reported to be swimming in a certain place, and angry fans rushed to the swimming pool immediately
