'Britain's Got Talent' Star Susan Boyle Wows Ireland Audiences, Pays Tribute to Mother

Susan Boyle is back, wowing audiences in Ireland with her beautiful singing voice.
The "Britain’s Got Talent" singing sensation, who took second place in the competition, gave an audience in Belfast last night a real treat, with a ten-minute performance. She sang "Memory" from the musical "Cats," and "I Dreamed a Dream," from Les Miserables — the latter of which she first sang on the talent show just a few months ago, stunning the world with her extraordinary singing abilities. The crowd loved her! Reports say the sold-out show also featured nine other finalists from "BGT." The night before, Boyle took the stage at the O2 Arena in Dublin, where she dedicated her emotional performance to her mother. Both of Boyle’s parents were from County Donegal, Ireland, and Boyle credits her singing success to her mother, who recently died.
"She was only onstage for about ten minutes, but they were ten minutes I’ll never forget," one young female fan told Irish Central in Dublin. "I loved every second."
The Herald reports that there had been speculation that Boyle might not have performed in Dublin because she has canceled several dates on the tour leading up to that, due to exhaustion and her "fragile" state. Speculation that sudden fame was too much for the 48-year-old single Scottish woman has run rampant. She blew up at police in London and ended up in tears, and was indeed hospitalized after the "BGT" finals for exhaustion. But once again, she didn’t disappoint.
You can watch video of her Dublin performance here. We wish Susan Boyle the best of luck in her career. She should know she has a world of fans ready to support her!
