I’m sure the show realized what it had and sent her out after a couple of pretty good performers, right when the judges and audience would be expecting a ‘joke’. And she had a lot of the signs of one. The producers must have been dying laughing backstage when they caught that Simon eye roll on camera before she started.

The first time I watched this video I was in tears, not just the beauty of the song and her voice but the way she didn't stand down and she triumphed. Of course, that talent is God given but regardless of whether we have such a talent we shouldn't stand down from our dreams. I've watched it multiple times whenever I've needed some inspiration or a pick me up. I'd hope this would bring so many people to a realization. Even if she'd ended up not having such a great voice, she should never have been ridiculed. BTW, I don't believe the initial reactions of the judges and the audience was necessarily set up in advance but I do believe there was probably a bit of manipulative camera work on the audience. I'm so glad that you (India) reacted to this and I enjoyed watching your perception of it.

Simon already knew who she was, without Susan knowing. Simon is head of production and she was the 'big story'. They used a bit of tv magic to make it look the way it did onscreen. Simon was acting. And it worked!

She was on champions & got golden buzzer. I’ve seen this performance so many times & it still gives me chills. She is a rich lady now but chooses to live in her childhood home. There are reports of her having meltdowns at times but has bee diagnosed with asperger’s. She has done a duet with Elaine Paige & sold millions. India, you should react to her performance of “wild horses” where she got the golden buzzer on champions.

Susan Boyle, along with Jonathan & Charlotte are my two top favorites!! Such wonderful raw talent and so beautiful. ❤❤❤

This is the perfect example of, don't judge someone by the way they look. I love Susan's music.

Shes the perfect example of the saying, 'never judge a book by its cover'.

That reaction was very much real. The judges are given a sheet with minimum info so they can ask relevant questions but no they do not know what is coming. The audience reactions are genuine. They are not going to give that kind kind of reception if they don’t like the performance. Read her story, it is amazing. She has become a multimillion. Susan only came in second to a teen age dance group. They were good but there was a late negative last minute media backlash against Susan that cost her the win. Didn’t matter, she has had an amazing career and made a ton of money and has millions of devoted fans. She has performed all over the world for heads of state including the Pope and the Queen of England.

That is how you shatter doubt. Mrs. Boyle is undeniable, no doubt can exist when someone is undeniable.

Susan Boyle was such a surprise. She definitely blew everyone away. She looks lovely. God bless her. What a voice.

The last two lines of lyric gets me every time when she sings it.

Susan Boyle went on to be quite successful as I remember. She had a little difficulty with fame and all the attention at the beginning. But, she was no flash in the pan. She even covered Lou Reed's "Perfect Day," and he at first didn't grant permission for it to be included on her album but when he heard her sing it -- he had no objections. She continues to record and perform to this day. I often wonder how many Susan Boyle's are really out there.

You should a least list to the recorded version of I Dreamed A Dream, proof that Susan Boyle is one of the best and greatest singers in the world. It took all that time until 2009 for her to be discovered, who knows how famous she would have been in the 80's and the 90's..

I’m one of Susan Boyle’s biggest fans, she has one of the greatest singing voices, she belongs up there with the legends of her time, because if she was discovered in the 80’s or the 90’s she would have been a star back then!

Susan's a legend. Nobody will ever top this audition. Nobody.

I enjoy the positive energy. Thank you.

Susan Boyle could have been discovered years earlier as she appeared singing in one of Michael Barrymore's TV shows. Unfortunately Michael did what a lot of people did during Susan's life and that was to take the piss! He made fun of her for a cheap laugh which is what Michael was all about. Here's to Susan, who plodded on in her own way and made it to the top x

She has a successful singing career now but it is also suffering from Asperger's disease. She still lives in the same modest house she had is the same person that she has always been. She has gotten to sing for the queen which was why she really wanted.
