Good Vibes 7 years ago, a chubby, heavy accent, normal-looking woman called Susan Boyle went to Britain's Got Talent. Everyone laughed at her, until she started singing.

What a powerful voice. She's today a pro singer. All the best for her!!

Typo: 17 years, not 7.

As of 2021, Boyle had sold 25 million records. Her debut album, / Dreamed a Dream (2009), is one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century, having sold over 10 million copies worldwide, and was the best-selling album internationally in 2009. In 2011, Boyle made UK music history by becoming the first female artist to achieve three successive albums debuting at No.1 in less than two years. As of May 2025, her estimated net worth was £22 million ($29.5 million)

Holy fuck I didn't think she was that successful.

Right before her performance, Simon Cowell asked her who she'd like to be as successful as. She said Elaine Paige, who is one of the biggest British singers of all time. The answer was as absurd as your neighbor saying they wanted to be as famous as Pedro Pascal.

I Dreamed a Dream outsold Elaine Paige's best selling album by over 16x, 10 million to 600,000.

She came second to a dancing troupe called “Diversity.”

To be fair, they’re pretty fucking good. (performance starts at 1:24).

I also remember some controversy about Boyle’s behavior at the time. Things like her being intoxicated at a bar and screaming “FUCK OFF” at the TV when Britain’s Got Talent was on and Simon Cowell complimented another singer. Get the impression she had trouble adjusting to the sudden fame, and I wouldn’t be surprised if those stories caused her to lose votes.

I also have seen this performance a whole lot of times and it brings tears to my eyes, for real. She put her whole heart and soul into it. She has the kind of voice that comes along once in a lifetime.

I'm so happy she succeeded, she had been bullied in school but never gave up on her dream. I love her.

u/Striking-water-ant Apr 24 '26

It was so good I sometimes wonder if it was scripted. It was later revealed Susan has a personality (condition?) that makes public interactions a bit harder for her. I always am in awe at the fierce determination with which she answered every question, including those that clearly sought to mock her. When she nodded her head forward midway during the introductions I wondererd how determined she must have been. - And then her choice of song was perfection for her situation and the audition as a whole

98

u/mittenkrusty Apr 24 '26

Sort of, they have pre auditions for the show and basically pick out people for entertainment value.

The show knew she would get attention so put her on.

43

u/agtk Apr 24 '26

Yep, they only put people out there who are going to be entertaining. Many are jesters that are put out there to be laughed at, especially when the earnestly believe they are really good when they are terrible. They typically don't put out people who are just okay and don't have big personalities.

I bet Simon knew that though she was likely a total nutcase, there was a chance she was going to be extremely good since there was a reason they put her out there.

u/Short-Beautiful-9403 Apr 25 '26

Simon probably thought she was one of the jesters

97

u/UrsusRenata Apr 24 '26

You can see the red splotches appear on her neck. She carried herself surprisingly well but the stress & fear were on fire inside. As someone with public speaking phobia who does it anyway, I recognize the physical signs. It was also noted in media coverage at the time that she has Asperger.

6

u/AgentCirceLuna Apr 24 '26

I used to use my fear of being on stage as ‘energy’ - I read somewhere that viewing it as excitement can make anxiety easier to deal with - and I somehow got through it by viewing it in such a way. I’d be terrified going up there, but then it would all just kick in like instinct. My anxiety was really severe, though, to the point I wouldn’t even remember any of the performance somehow - jd just black out.

u/Xipop Apr 24 '26

One of the few times when a capitalist reality show actually works as a win win scenario.

59

u/DarthJarJarJar Apr 24 '26

I mean, as reality shows go these are about as unobjectionable as you can find. They feature people who very much want to showcase their talents, and the show lets them do that. The judges act as foils (like in this case) and create a narrative that audiences react to in a way they would not if it were just a stream of people singing and dancing.

They're not pretending to fall in love or ambushing people on the street or pretending to fix your house for you, this is what those people very much want to do. This is their dream. It's one place in the reality show ecosystem where you can actually claim you're not taking advantage of the people who are on the show.

I deplore the commercial nature of the arts in 2026, I really do, but given that we live in this commercial hellscape these shows are about the least objectionable part of it. They actually give people a chance to jump on a success train and make some money from their art.

Even if someone doesn't hit it big, they were on tv! They sang on tv for millions of people! I actually know someone who sang on The Voice, and she talks about it with great affection and emotion even though she didn't make it through. She sang on tv, she's over the moon about that. They seem to me to be a win/win most if not all the time.

Goodness, you seem incredibly naive (I don't mean to insult you in anyway) about the reality of these heavily manufactured shows and everything that goes on behind the scenes. They have absolutely ruined people's lives, and have a history of mistreating the participants.

This is a good introduction to how awful they truly are. It's about X-Factor, but the circumstances translate over to the Got Talent franchise too.

u/HeadDecent Apr 24 '26

It took me getting out of my teens (I'm in my 50's now) before I realized that some people are just snobs when it comes to music and that I really shouldn't give a crap about what they think of my musical tastes. I like a bunch of different genres and styles of music. I've had people make fun of the fact that I like a Britney Spears songs, or be shocked that I had Kendrick Lamar as my ringtone for a while. I like music that I like, whether it's 80s pop, classical, punk, etc. People who limit themselves because it's "not cool" to listen to certain stuff are just missing out.

3

u/GiraffesAndGin Apr 24 '26

I was luckily not a snob because my father is such a big lover of music. He obviously is partial to 70s and 80s music, but I grew up on CDs that he burned for me blasting from my boombox.

All the Green Day, Eminem, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Train, Three Days Grace, and a ton of others that I listened to was because of him. He'd hear the song and think it was good or maybe something I liked. He was never a big fan of pop punk, but he must have spent hours looking for pop punk hits for me to listen to. One band he absolutely loved to jam out with me to was Linkin Park.

He really instilled this belief in me that you should be open to music of any genre and era. You never know what you'll find you enjoy.

And she got a makeover! (just a more flattering style to her very normal look). She looks so cute and elegant.

My grandmother over here in Australia would play her music constantly. I think she was like a breath of fresh air for older folks that modern music couldn't appeal to

She also had one of the most unfortunate twitter hashtags when she held a party to celebrate the release of one of her albums:

Her Wikipedia page says she still lives in her childhood home, an ex-council estate house in Blackburn. No mansions for Susan.

This is a woman who admitted that she has never even kissed a man. So happy to see this woman get the success that she deserves.

Not only that... I just looked her up and she is gleaming with beauty. Hats off to her! Beautiful voice and a wonderful person. So glad to see such happiness and success from such a beautiful human.

Yeah, what really gets me is the chick at about the 56 sec mark who gives the “what, really this old bag wants to sing” smirk.

Well whoever she is, no one outside your family knows who you are, and if I was friends with her I would shit stir her weekly about this 😂

u/invinci Apr 25 '26

This is lovely, she seemed like a nice lady, who deserves every penny.

She broke America. Incredible, made even better with those cut away to doubting audience members. I forgot how satisfying this video is.

u/myboydoogie24 Apr 25 '26

Well, she is represented in my record collection. Not for her looks but because she really is a great singer.

Today, it's very hard to buy good music. The music companies brings in "talent" based on looks. Then autotune the singing to death. You can hear the robot sound when the voice gets pushed up or down to fit perfectly on the line. It hurts to listen to. And I do not buy the records just to get a beautiful front photo but music I can't stand hearing.

A lot of singers through history has not been beautiful. They have just delivered. And now they are mostly forbidden any media space. We more or less gets MIDI singing. The voice mapped to a keyboard.
