'Britain's Got Talent' Contestant Susan Boyle Captures Hearts (Video)

British singing sensation wOws us … and Simon Cowell.

Susan Boyle

Susan Boyle captured the hearts of "Britain’s Got Talent" fans and, more importantly, Simon Cowell, fellow judges and YouTube crawlers.

Boyle, 47 and unemployed, got the crowd standing and cheering within seconds of beginning her rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream,” from "Les Miserables." Check out the crowd as they cheer for Boyle, who some are now saying could win the entire competition.

Actress Demi Moore said the performance "moved me to tears." Will you have the same reaction? We did!

I have been listening to this on the new all day. CNN our local ABC, CBS and NBC affiliates. I am impressed. Especially to see Simon Cowell react the way he did. I was impressed.

Susan Boyle is Everywoman - the plain women of modest means who are graced with inner beauty - we all know those women; we are those women. I hope her great talent remains pure and powerful and the twinkle in her eyes carries her through the media tsunami that has engulfed her. It is not just her grand voice that has brought us to tears. It is knowing that a 47 year old woman of modest means from a tiny village in Scotland has elevated "average" to " magnificant."

She just blew me away with her voice. The initial smirks and giggles when she walked out quickly turned to cheers. Which goes to show that you can’t judge a book by its cover, Should be a lesson to all of us.

I love the dance she does at the end!  =)   If you veiw the entire clip — you’ll see the audience gives her a standing ovation almost from the beginning.   While sadly, we do tend to make judgements on physical appearnace — it didn’t take anyone long to throw their preconceived judgement out the window when they heard her voice.   There may be hope for us all yet.

Her voice brought me out of my den to my TV and I was dazzled.  What a beautiful voice!  I hope she gets the recognition she deserves.

I was pushing the video of Susan Boyle on several threads.  Bravo, WOWOWOW, for giving her the exposure that she deserves on our site.  She is a true STAR!
