Susan Boyle - Britains Got Talent 2009 Episode 1 - Saturday 11th April | HD High Quality

Alright, what's your
name, darling?

My name is Susan Boyle.

Okay. Susan,
where you from?

I am from Blackburn, near
Bathgate, West Lothian.

That's a big town.

It's a sort of collection of...
It's a collection of... villages.

Had to think, there.

And how old are you, Susan?

I am 47.
And that's just one side of me.

Whoa! Hello!

Okay...
What's the dream?

I... I'm trying to be a
professional singer.

And why hasn't it
worked out so far, Susan?

Well, I've never been given
the chance before, but here's hoping it'll change.

Okay. And who would you
like to be as successful as?

Elaine Paige? Something like that.
>> Elaine Paige.

What are you going to sing tonight?

I'm going to sing "I Dreamed a Dream"
from Les Misérables.

Okay. Big song [laugh].

Yeah? Yes!

I dreamed a dream in
time gone by

When hope was high
and life worth living

You just didn't expect that,
did you? Did you? No!

I dreamed that love would
never die

I dreamed that God
would be forgiving

Then I was young
and unafraid

When dreams were made and
used and wasted

There was no ransom
to be paid

No song unsung,
no wine untasted

But the tigers come
at night

With their voices
soft as thunder

As they tear your
hopes apart

As they turn your dreams
to shame

>> Wow!
>> Look at that!

But still I dream
he'll come to me

And we will live our
lives together

But there are dreams
which cannot be

And there are storms
we cannot weather

I had a dream
my life would be

So different from this
hell I'm living

So different now
from what it seems

But life has killed the
dream I dreamed.

>> Oi!
>> Hello?

Hey, come back here!

Alright. Thank you
very much, Susan. Piers?

Without a doubt, that was
the biggest surprise I have had

in 3 years of the show.

When you stood there with that cheeky
grin and said, "I, I wanna be like Elaine Paige,"

everyone was laughing at you.
No one is laughing now.

That was stunning.
An incredible performance.

Amazing! I'm reeling from shock!
Don't know about you two.

I am so thrilled because I know
that everybody was against you.

I honestly think that we were
all being very cynical,

and I think that's the biggest
wake-up call ever.

And I just want to say that it was
a complete privilege listening to that.

It was [unknown].

Susan, I knew, the minute you walked
out--

Oh, Simon!
>> --on that stage that we were going to hear something extraordinary,

and I was right.
>> What a load of tosh.

Susan, you are a little
tiger, aren't you?

Well, I don't know
about that.

You are. Okay, moment of
truth. Piers, yes or no?

The biggest yes I have
ever given anybody.

Amanda?
>> Yes, definitely. It was brilliant.

Amanda, you too?!

Susan Boyle, you can go back to the village
with your head held high. It's 3 yes's.
