Everyone's going crazy for Susan!
Tuesday 21 April 2009
It was the performance that blew everything else out of the water, but even a week after her appearance on Britain's Got Talent the world can't seem to get enough of Susan Boyle.
Susan's rendition of I Dreamed A Dream, from the hit musical Les Miserables, has turned into the most-watched video on Youtube, and, with 40 million hits, her performance has been viewed more often than Barack Obama's presidental inauguration.
The 47-year-old amateur singer has sparked a global 'Susan Mania', with the likes of Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore tweeting about her on Twitter and over a million fans on Facebook.
She has even been invited to appear on the holy grail of chat shows, The Oprah Winfrey Show! It is fair to say Susan's life has been turned upside down, considering that only last week she was an unemployed charity worker.
The lady herself said: "I expected people to be a wee bit cynical. But I decided to win them round. That is what you do.
"Before Britain's Got Talent, I had never had a proper chance. It's as simple as that. You just have to keep going and take one step at a time and one day you will make it. You just don't give up."
Have you joined the Susan madness? Do you think she will win BGT? Thoughts please...

Isnt it sad that all this fuss is made because of the way she looks with a great voice. If she had been conventionally good looking theres no way she would have had this much publicity. What a shallow world we live in where success and looking good goes hand in hand. Im just so happy that she proved everyone else wrong and all those people in the audience that laughed at her were put in their places.

She was good, and i don't want to sound awful here, but i have heard better. I don't understand what all the fuss is about.

She reminds me of Paul Potts. Not a looker but what a voice.
Just proof you should never judge a book by it's cover
