Susan Boyle's "I Dreamed a Dream"

Back on April 11, 2009, a woman named Susan Boyle made her leap into the spotlight with one of the most shocking and amazing singing performances given. Her appearance on "Britain's Got Talent" truly surprised the judges, audience and world as she boldly sang "I Dreamed a Dream" which is from the popular Broadway show Les Miserables. Susan's story has a sort of judgemental tone to it, showing how people tend to view books by their cover but that a singer's song which comes from within shows how deep beauty truly runs. Susan is now in the spotlight and receiving offers for makeovers, but hasn't changed herself too much. She has a dream of being the next Ellen Page, and singing for the Queen one day.

Here is Susan Boyle's initial appearance on "Britain's Got Talent" when she sang "I Dreamed a Dream". Pay special attention to the faces of the crowd and judges before she even sings a note, and then how things have changed once her beautiful voice emerges. Cynical judge Simon Cowell in particular is truly shocked and embarassed by how he judged the poor woman, only to end up with egg all over his face.
