Less than a week ago, Susan Boyle was just a regular woman with a dream. Bushy eyebrows and a dress my granny would sport, Susan Boyle on the outside looked a hot mess, but what came out of her mouth is and will be talked about for possibly years to come.
On Saturday’s season premiere of “Britain’s Got Talent,” a U.K. show in which ” American Idol’s” Simon Cowell is one of the judges, Boyle was, from the moment she stepped onstage, heckled and made fun of.
Amanda Holden, the program’s third judge, said, “When she came onto stage the audience immediately started booing and hissing her, based purely on her appearance. She looked a little odd [and] was a bit nervous and searching for her words.”
“We were laughing at her,” Piers Morgan said. “She was someone who seemed to be completely deluded.”
Even Simon Cowell was blown away.
But, after the performance, not only were there cheers and a standing ovation, but the judges were teary-eyed.
Yet Susan is remaining modest and proud as she hit up the Early Show this morning, describing her experience as “breathtaking, unbelievable, awesome.”
If you were not one of the 14 million who have seen the video that everyone is talking about, you can peep it here. Grab the Kleenex.
