Unassuming, unemployed, shy, and a tad nervous, forty-seven-year-old Susan Boyle strolled uncomfortably onto the show’s stage. To the smirks of the judges and the disapproving giggles of the crowd, she introduced her dream: to be a professional singer of the stature of Elaine Paige. When the tittering died down, she announced she would sing “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables.
Shock and Awe
The look of shock and awe on Simon Cowell’s face as he did a double-take at her talent was worth a million pounds in itself. As Simon recovered, his co-judges, Piers and Amanda, were giving Susan a standing ovation.
Piers told her, “Without a doubt that was the biggest surprise I have had in three years. When you stood there with that cheeky grin and said ‘I want to be like Elaine Paige’ everyone was laughing at you. No-one is laughing now, that was stunning. I am reeling from shock.”
Amanda agreed. “I am so thrilled because I know everyone was against you. We are all so cynical but that was a complete wake up call. It was a complete privilege.”
