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.
