Blog 13


This week’s blog I thought I would discuss the story of Susan Boyle. Now I’m sure you have all heard of this lady. She had recently auditioned on the UK’s reality talent competition. Let’s just say Boyle is not the most stunning lady we have seen on reality television. You can definitely say Boyle has been a huge hit in our news recently. Most people dream about have an opportunity like this, still being able to get the chance to become famous while the “looks” are not there. Boyle has a quite interesting personality.
This 47 year old woman has been singing since she was 12 and has thought she has never really been given the chance to become famous with her singing, and now by appearing on Britain’s Got Talent, not only has she become famous with her singing but by her personality and the history of her life we could just say. Boyle has an amazing voice that the judges could not believe! She lives alone in a Scottish village and admitted on television that she had never been kissed. She lives alone with her cat Pebbles. Susan Boyle has become a worldwide hit after she appeared on the talent show on April 10th weekend, since then she has drawn 13 million viewers on you tube. Boyle’s mother who recently died at the age of 91 has always pushed her to appear on the show, and now that experience is paying off with how supportive all the fans have been she said.
In a way Boyle reminds me of Britain’s little Connie Talbot, who is just six years old but yet still had an amazing voice and become famous just by singing on the show, now how many 6 year olds could say they are famous and great singers?
Hope you enjoyed the post, and check out the links for some videos!!

  1. Susan Boyle is all over the news! I am so glad for her that she is finally being noticed! Looks aren't everything so I am glad people have accepted her as a person. I was shocked when Simon liked Susan and thought she should be a famous singer because Simon is so judgemental. I thought that he wouldn't have liked her because of her looks. Even though she is very beautiful! I hope Susan makes it far in her singing career!

  2. Susan Boyle is a lady with amazing talent. Obviously, she did not have the highest self esteem if she did not go on a television show to share her talent before the age of 47-years-old, which is sad because she has a beautiful voice. Many people in the audience and even the judges prejudged her by her appearence, but did she blow them away when she started singing. This is a great story to share to show that you should not judge people by appearence.

  3. Surprisingly I haven't heard of Susan Boyle until I read your blog. It was an interesting post Britt! It is really sad that she had low self-esteem and it held her back from showing her talent. It is annoying how people can't get into Hollywood and get famous just because of unfortunate looks. It's sad that everyone judged her before she even sang. It just goes to show not to judge anyone.

  4. I agree with barclay and i dind't think that simon would like her at all. He definitely is one of the most judgemental people but it was good to see that he thought she was gonna be successful. Pretty positive story to be getting a lot of news coverage. Good post!
