Did you ever notice how sometimes, there are people that you never heard of before and before you know it, everyone knows them by name? We might see it in our local area sometimes and others, it may be someone who becomes famous overnight. That was the case with Susan Boyle. She was basically an unknown individual and then, in 2009, she appeared on Season 3 of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ and now everyone knows her name. Not only did she turn heads on BGT, she has since been nominated for 2 Grammys.
This year, Susan Boyle is crossing the pond and trying her pipes out on “America’s Got Talent.” The creator, Simon Cowell is doing things a bit different and is hosting a Champions season. It will give the opportunity for performers from all of the ‘Got Talent’ shows from around the world to come together and compete. Susan was invited.
Susan saw a lot of success when she was on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ but she is hoping to take things up a notch with the Champions season. She wants to be a champion to others who are considered to be ordinary, even though they have a hidden talent.
She proved her worth from the moment she stepped back onto the stage. The judges and crowd all gave her a standing ovation.
Susan decided to perform The Rolling Stones hit “Wild Horses.” As you could imagine, she hit every note and before it was over, we had chills up and down our spine. After she was finished, everyone jumped to their feet.
The judges really couldn’t say enough about Susan. Simon was thrilled to see her back again and Mel B. was overjoyed to be with her. Susan was even given the golden buzzer, sending her right on up through the ranks to the next round.
Even though she has seen a lot of success, she was still humbled by the kind words of the judges. She stayed calm and seemed quite happy for the opportunity she was given.
Simon and Mel B. both gave her hugs and told her they couldn’t be happier for her and her success. After it all, however, Susan smiled and seemed to be ready to head home. Her performance is a reminder that there is someone great inside all of us.
