Susan Boyle of Britain's Got Talent fame is charming audiences again, this time with an Andrew Lloyd Webber number. While making her way on the talk show circuit this last week, she has announced that her next song for the competition will be the title song from the musical "Whistle Down the Wind" which some critics have proclaimed as the best musical Sir Andrew has written since "The Phantom of the Opera".
In her recent appearance on MSNBC, Boyle gave MSNBCs Monica Novotny a small preview of the soaring number from the Lloyd Webber musical.
Boyle, an unemployed woman who's "nearly 48," talked about her cat Pebbles, and joked around with the judges, noting that she had "never been kissed." Upon seeing her and hearing her declaration that she would like to be as big as Elaine Page, audience prepared for dreadful performance as she began her song, but, once she starting singing the crowd and judges were transported by her take on the song "I Dreamed A Dream" from the Broadway Musical, Les Miserables. Since then, her life has been turned upside down and the internet world has been transformed by this quiet, aging woman from a small village in Scotland.
What an inspiration she is to so many with talents that are sometimes hidden because of fear of peers, whether it's a disability of some sort or just that they're not the "obvious beauty" physically that world views and opinion seem to cater to.
Bravo, Susan Boyle. The world is waiting on the edge of their seats for your next performance and are ready to cheer you on again!
