Last week we saw a viral internet sensation take place with an unknown singer named Susan Boyle who performed a jaw dropping rendition of "I Dreamed A Dream" on the popular TV competition, Britain's Got Talent. When asked by the judges who she would like to be as good as, Susan replied that she'd like to be as big as Elaine Page. This week, the well known Paige reacted to Susan's performance and posted it on her website. Paige writes:
"Ever since Susan's appearance on 'Britain's Got Talent' my Radio 2 inbox has been flooded with emails. "It seems her performance has really captured the hearts of everyone who saw it, me included... it looks like I have competition! Perhaps we should record a duet?"
Cameron Mackintosh, the Les Miserables Impresario and Musical Theater Legend also piped up this week with his reaction: "Just like the judges and audience I was gob-smacked by the emotional powerhouse performance of Susan Boyle's show stopping rendition of 'I Dreamed a Dream.' Vocally it is one of the best versions of the song I've ever heard. Touching, thrilling and uplifting".
This Broadway Musical Nut is hoping that Susan Boyle gets to continue her dream, and I truly hope Elaine Page comes through on the suggestion of a duet between the two. What an inspirational recording that would be! But, what song should they record together? Leave your suggestions!
