'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!

Thanks for the links to Cry Me a River - another wonderful piece.  The quality of her character and her voice seem as though they’ve been graced by an angel.

I predict that Ms. Boyle will be find fine professional representation.  She seems very clever and I hope that she’ll be alert to opportunistic ‘friends’ and suitors - if only there were professional agents working to sniff out the predators in the lives of good people.

I was thinking exactly the same thoughts, but didn’t have the courage to write what you’ve stated for fear of being reprimanded. 

Considering the world we live in opportunism abounds, and I would hate to see this courageous and talented woman fall victim to media predators!  Thanking you for posting your comments!

So much is being made of Susan Boyle’s appearance, but her lack of polish just momentarily obscured the fact that she has a world class voice for that audience on that day. As soon as she opened her mouth, the tide turned, and by the second line people were on their feet. I can’t wait to see what she does. She can get a good haircut and a stylist if she wants to do that, but really, who cares?

Just proves the old saying "never judge a book by its cover!"  What a talent she is.
