So, Britain’s Got Talent is back on our screens and once more it arrived with a bang. Amanda Holden is back looking as gorgeous as ever; sexy, smouldering and armed with tears at the ready! Amanda that is, not me! Britain’s Got Live Tour
Halfway through the opening show, Susan Boyle, a 47 year old from Scotland stunned the audience and I daresay the majority of the viewing television audience with her rendition of “I dreamed the dream” from Les Miserables. She has been singing since she was 12 and when Simon asked her why she hadn’t made it the doubts were cast and everyone sat back to watch car crash tv at its best, or is that worst? If you want to experience the show for yourselves then why not catch up with the Britain’s Got Live Tour – various venues around the UK. Check out the list here.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the crowd were in shock as were the judges with Amanda close to tears throughout. I’ve always had a soft spot for Les Miserables and this song is one of the best from the hit musical. She really did the song justice and despite the fact that we all get carried away with the emotion of it (i.e. a few duff notes) it was a truly magnificent performance. I can’t wait to see what she pulls out of the bag next.
Well done Susan, excellent performance. I don’t think it’s as good as the judges made out following the song but it was good! This is how it should be sung though – Judy Kuhn singing to Ronald Reagan!


Susan Boyle is an immensely talented lady who’s been subjected to considerable criticism in the media. IMHO she deserves all of the success that she is currently enjoying.
