The reason she was judged (without people realising) is because she is autistic. Undiagnosed autistic people (especially women) mask and mimic "normality". She was very brave for getting up on the stage and show her talent. Many autistic people become introverted due to bullying.
She signed with Simon and has sold over 20-25 million records and is worth more than $20 million. She has Aspergers and she is inspirational to millions. Love your reaction, great attitude
*She became famous from this performance, charming people around the world. Her first album was the U.K.'s biggest selling debut album of all time at age 48, and she has released SEVEN more albums since then!*
Susan is a legend. She's a very private lady, had trouble with her nerves and mental health, she bought a modest house and still has the house she was brought up in.
She definitely knocked their collective posh noses sideways. That saying "never judge a book by its cover" was prominently brought to attention in this case. Well done, Susan 🙌🏼
I used to see Susan quite regularly in a restaurant that I used to work in , in Falkirk Scotland, what a lovely humble woman she is, very down to earth no airs or graces with her at all.
I've seen a lot of youtuber's react to this but I think you may be the first I've seen that paid attention to the lyric's of that song she sang and realized how personal the song must have been to her that night. You said that you were going to look her up, and I hope you do cause it will make you smile. She went on to realize her dream and has had several successful album's and a wonderful career as a professional singer. Thanks for the video
Susan Boyle had to work and care for her mother who eventually passed away. Susan decided to pick up her old dream and the rest is history. Great reaction as always AB!❤
Susan Boyle's Present Activities and Where She Is Now in 2023. Boyle is presently involved in music production, working on new tracks for her eager fan base. A known philanthropist, Boyle uses her platform to support various charities and causes. She enjoys a quiet life in her hometown, Blackburn, Scotland.
And OMG did this change her life!!! And yes, everyone looked stupid!!! She has sold millions of albums since this performance!! You should go listen to her sing "Wild Horses" by The Stones!! Incredible!!!🎵🎼🎶🎤🎹🎸🥁🔥🔥🔥
Piers said that by the time Susan walked on stage they'd been there about eight hours and EVERYONE was terrible so they weren't expecting anything at all especially when she was going to sing one of the hardest songs on Broadway. If you watch Simon once she started singing I don't think he could have stopped smiling if you had put a gun to his head.
Elaine Page is famous for her performance as Grismelda, the oldest of the felines in CATS. Her singing "Memories" should be on your short list. Thanks for being you-honest, loving and open!❤
This performance was so huge. I don’t know if we said viral back then but it went viral. I was travelling in Britain at the time and there isn’t anyone that wasn’t talking about it. Then a month or so later when I was back home, they made us watch it at a work conference. 😄 Truly a magical moment.
Susan came runner up in BGT that year but it launched an amazing career, he's sold many millions of albums. Elaine Paige is a very famous British singer on shows albums and Britain's equivalent of Broadway; Susan got to do a duet with her on stage.
The blonde lady's name is Amanda Holden and she has an amazing voice. Check her out singing with Sheridan Smith "I Know Him So Well" from Chess, it's beautiful.
She came back for round 2 and eventually came in second. She has had a huge recording career. Her net worth is reported to be over $45 million. She supports various charities. They later figured out that she is on the autism spectrum or whatever they call it over there. She lives a very low key life much like she did before all of this happened. She has purchased the council house that she grew up in. In the UK "council housing" is the same basic idea as "the projects" in the US.
Britain's Got Talent works like America's Got Talent. The candidates that get a yes move to the next round until the finalists face off and there is one winner. Susan has Asperger's which was diagnosed after this audition but she has built a solid singing career. The song here was from the play and movie Les Misérables. Love your openness and nonjudgmental approach!
She had a small stroke a couple years ago and has recovered. She has also been diagnosed with a form of autism known as Aspberger's Syndrome. I love her voice. The song is from the play Les Miserables
*Susan Boyle is the one that forever changed what the mold of a star should be and every reality show after that saw TALENT first...not the look only. She goes on to have record sales on both the UK & US.*
Thank you for giving her a chance right from the beginning of the video. You're awesome. Her voice is amazing and she is apparently still as grounded and nice as she was here. I love that Amanda called all of them out for pre-judging her and admitted they were so wrong to do that.
She's not the only judge a book by its cover....there was a man named Josh krajick on AGT back 2011. Simon was disgusted until Josh started singing!! A must watch
Check out her complete story. It is inspirational. She did not have an easy journey in life and toward stardom. She recently was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome, which explains some of the quirkiness of her behavior. But she has achieved great success, performing all over the world and making millions of dollars. Among the noted people she has performed before are the Queen of England and the Pope. Susan is a treasure.
"Dreams don't expire." That's one of the classiest things I have ever heard a youtube reactor say! And speaking of dreams, did you know that Dimash dreams of winning a Grammy one day and is currently in Los Angeles rubbing shoulders with some of the most successful producers in the music industry? I haven't seen you react to him lately, but his performance of "El Amor En Ti," performed in front of 35,000 at an outdoor concert in Kazakhstan which drew fans from 68 countries, is one for the ages.
She is a rare voice that makes me cry. She does a song on her album called "Wild Horses" which is one of my favorites and she does it justice. Just beautiful. I'm also enjoying your Righteous Brothers journey and you still have more treasures to find. I'd also recommend Linda Ronstadt's early recordings as well as the Carpenters. All the above have the purest of voices.
Oh my goodness I love the look on your face!! This is one of the best auditions ever! 😊 My aunt showed me this when I went to visit her after my mom passed. I am so glad she got to see Susan perform before she passed too.
Adding a comment - I think I read that Susan is autistic, Asperger's is one thing they used to call it. I can't even keep up with the "correct" lingo anymore. My friend's husband has the same thing. Very, very intelligent, but not always understanding social cues is the best I can describe it. I have two autistic grandsons, both nonverbal, and both very smart, but not necessarily smart the same way as other kids. They just process things differently.
Susan is on the Spectrum but she decided to follow her dream after caring for her mother for years. She's an admirable lady who became a worldwide sensation.
AB you are a good person! You said exactly what more people need to do! We are all brothers and sisters here and we are suppose to love one another!❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Dreams don't expire"...... ABtheKreator, that is a profound and wonderful comment! I will always remember that and share it, especially with the young people of my acquaintance! Thank you!
The song is from Les Miserable, a phenomenal book from the 1800s that I actually read as assigned in high school...adapted into a musical and various movies.
Yeah, she made it! I have all her recordings ... and I am german! So, she is known and successful in Germany, too. Another gem from this show is "Paul Potts". Check him out if you haven't yet.
That was a great performance. Thank you for reacting to it. I have heard of her before but never listened. Wow. So good. Now you need to react to Josh Krajcik. For Americas got talent. Omg. He will blow you away with his rendition of At Last by Etta James. I promise you you’ll love it. It might be the best ever talent audition.
The song is about college boys resisting French soldiers in the revolution. They died the next day. Susan has a serious heart attack years later and had a long time recovery but well now. She hasn’t changed one bit. Last, you are a sweetheart and liking your graphic art.
I have seen this video many times. I feel lucky to hear you say " Don't judge, give her a chance". We all need to hear, and think about judging. Thank you Love from Michigan ❤️
NO NO NO!!! DISNEY does NOT deserve her. This song is from "Les Miserables" , which is/was a Broadway Musical. You can watch the video staring Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe and Eddie Redmond. All of the songs were sung LIVE, not in a studio. Eddie Redmond makes me cry like a baby when he sings "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables"".
I feel like this was one of the the first big surprises on this show that went viral (respect!). Also (and people can totally disagree) but I feel like Anne Hathaway’s performance of this song (in the movie) changed the way people heard this song and performed it. I would love to you see you react to it.
She blew everybody away and I’d love to hear her in Disney! You should watch the musical Les Mis, not the one without the music. It’s very sad but an amazing musical.
Sanford & Son was an American version of the British sitcom Steptoe and Son. So, think of this as the original version. It started before it hit the U.S. Simon Cowell isn't just 'a' judge. He's the creator of The X Factor and Got Talent television franchises. He has judged on the British television talent competition shows Pop Idol (2001-2003), The X Factor UK (2004-2010, 2014-2018) and Britain's Got Talent (2007-present), and the American television talent competition shows American Idol (2002-2010), The X Factor US (2011-2013) and America's Got Talent (2016-present).
susan net woth is about 40 million, she still lives in the same little house, only had decorating done and new kitchen, she said she had never been kissed, she does have a boyfriend now, but ruled out marriage lol, as said before, she has had 7 albums, also sang for the pope, and with many mega stars, she nearly pulled out of bgt, the world went nuts for her, she could not handle the attention, as she has aspergus syndrome (spell check), they had to isolate her in a hotel, and counsle her, to continue with the show. wondeful humble lady
Susan Boyle ended up in second place as the show ended. She has been rather successful. She is from a small village in Scotland. She had the opportunity of singing with her idol Elaine Page.
Disney can't afford her, she's now a multi-millionaire that even performed for Queen Elizabeth.
She spent most of her adult life caring for her elderly mother. She is proudly autistic like me ❤❤❤
Simon gave her a contract!!!! She’s now a multi millionaire!!! God Bless!👍👍🙏🙏🙏
The reason she was judged (without people realising) is because she is autistic. Undiagnosed autistic people (especially women) mask and mimic "normality". She was very brave for getting up on the stage and show her talent. Many autistic people become introverted due to bullying.
By the time this audition was over, Simon had dollar signs in his eyes. And kudos to him, he made it happen for Susan.
Susan became world famous, world beloved, and a multi-millionaire.
She signed with Simon and has sold over 20-25 million records and is worth more than $20 million. She has Aspergers and she is inspirational to millions. Love your reaction, great attitude
❤
*She became famous from this performance, charming people around the world. Her first album was the U.K.'s biggest selling debut album of all time at age 48, and she has released SEVEN more albums since then!*
I'm an American that truly adores this talented sweet lady so much.
She could not have picked a better song. Full stop!
Susan is a legend. She's a very private lady, had trouble with her nerves and mental health, she bought a modest house and still has the house she was brought up in.
She definitely knocked their collective posh noses sideways. That saying "never judge a book by its cover" was prominently brought to attention in this case. Well done, Susan 🙌🏼
Well said!!!! 🎵🎼🎶🤘🤘🤘
Yet there was nothing wrong with how she looked. She dressed nicely and for her age not like some 18 year old bimbo.
My life has killed the dream....I dream..... I legit had tears in my eyes the first time I saw this.
I used to see Susan quite regularly in a restaurant that I used to work in , in Falkirk Scotland, what a lovely humble woman she is, very down to earth no airs or graces with her at all.
She is precious 💕 I tear up every time I see her perform. She feels her music.
She makes me cry every time.
She is amazing and as of January 2024, she has a net worth of $40 million. Well done.....well done indeed!
I've seen a lot of youtuber's react to this but I think you may be the first I've seen that paid attention to the lyric's of that song she sang and realized how personal the song must have been to her that night.

I love that you just sat eyes closed. When something is this gorgeous and powerful you appreciate it in your soul.
Truth! 💜

I still get chills, i remember when this aired, i cried for her bc they only found value in her bc she was great at something.
There’s a beautiful performance of her singing along side Elaine page. It was a full circle moment. They both sounded stunning.
And OMG did this change her life!!! And yes, everyone looked stupid!!! She has sold millions of albums since this performance!! You should go listen to her sing "Wild Horses" by The Stones!! Incredible!!!🎵🎼🎶🎤🎹🎸🥁🔥🔥🔥

This performance always chokes me up.❤ Susan Boyle.
Elaine Page is famous for her performance as Grismelda, the oldest of the felines in CATS. Her singing "Memories" should be on your short list. Thanks for being you-honest, loving and open!❤
Grizabella* (The Glamour Cat)
Still love her and this video!!❤
Simon Cowell started the Got Talent series. He started it in Britain and then took it around the world
Shes got some pipes . Idc what she looks like love her voice ❤ people was doing standing ovation 5 second into the song.
This performance was so huge. I don’t know if we said viral back then but it went viral. I was travelling in Britain at the time and there isn’t anyone that wasn’t talking about it. Then a month or so later when I was back home, they made us watch it at a work conference. 😄 Truly a magical moment.
She still lives in the same house she grew up in.
Thank you so much for reacting to this! I’m not going to say anything except I’m REALLY glad you’re going to check her out. She has an amazing story.
She became a profesional singer
SHe is Excellent!! you have to check "Jonathan and Charlotte "from Britian's got Talent.......
Definitely!!!
LOVVVVE them!!!!

You should see her sing wild horses!!!

Her voice blew everyone away and her cheekiness was the best!
She became very successful worldwide!!!! I am so happy for her too, thanks for showing this😊
I've said it before, You're Darling :) I love your face when you were watching this, it was full of compassion and love. Nice.
lol I think i love you. So sweet to Susan even before. :)
She has now sold over 25 million records.
She had a small stroke a couple years ago and has recovered. She has also been diagnosed with a form of autism known as Aspberger's Syndrome. I love her voice. The song is from the play Les Miserables
She came in second, but is probably the most successful contestant ever.
So many people said the same thing about the Disney thing. She has never done that but she has made many albums and made millions.
She eventually sang with her dream singer. Their duet was amazing!!!
*Susan Boyle is the one that forever changed what the mold of a star should be and every reality show after that saw TALENT first...not the look only. She goes on to have record sales on both the UK & US.*
Absolutely the most beautiful soul ever to grace BGT!
The way Susan was judged should be a lesson to everyone ➖NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY IT’S COVER‼️
Susan became a hit, ended up singing for The Pope..and had 4 or 5 hugely successful albums. She did just fine.
Thank you for giving her a chance right from the beginning of the video. You're awesome. Her voice is amazing and she is apparently still as grounded and nice as she was here. I love that Amanda called all of them out for pre-judging her and admitted they were so wrong to do that.

Susan Boil is my mom's favorite singer. Listen to her sing wild horses. She's amazing!
You should check out her performance on AGT Champions 2019. She performed Wild Horses (stunning), and got a standing ovation just by walking on stage.
I like you! I like the way you think. I like your positive attitude. Thank you!
Now I gotta watch her golden buzzer performance. IT’s everything she deserved from the first time.
Oh my goodness I love the look on your face!!
This is one of the best auditions ever! 😊
My aunt showed me this when I went to visit her after my mom passed. I am so glad she got to see Susan perform before she passed too.

The biggest moment of Got Talent until Gabriel Henrique's Golden Buzzer this year. She began the biggest records seller in UK from all times
And in the end they all were stunned.
She went on to win.
Lili McCloud- Alabaster Box . Absolutely phenominal.
What a lovely young man you are for being so kind. Others have bullied Susan all her life
Susan is on the Spectrum but she decided to follow her dream after caring for her mother for years. She's an admirable lady who became a worldwide sensation.
AB you are a good person! You said exactly what more people need to do! We are all brothers and sisters here and we are suppose to love one another!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love what you said " Dreams don't expire
Britain 's got Talent was the first "..... Got Talent "show. Simon started this concept in 2005, after X-factor
She became famous and did tours for awhile. Also, several wonderful albums. She is now retired in the village she lived in all her life.
"Dreams don't expire"...... ABtheKreator, that is a profound and wonderful comment! I will always remember that and share it, especially with the young people of my acquaintance! Thank you!
She is wonderful ❤️
The song is from Les Miserable, a phenomenal book from the 1800s that I actually read as assigned in high school...adapted into a musical and various movies.

Wow. So good.
Now you need to react to Josh Krajcik.
For Americas got talent.
Omg. He will blow you away with his rendition of At Last by Etta James.
I promise you you’ll love it.
It might be the best ever talent audition.
SHE ACTUALLY GOT THE CHANCE TO SING A DUET WITH ELAINE PAIGE.
Yes she came back and won the whole show and got a record deal!
Actually, she did get a record deal, but she didn't win---she came-in, second.
The song is about college boys resisting French soldiers in the revolution. They died the next day. Susan has a serious heart attack years later and had a long time recovery but well now. She hasn’t changed one bit. Last, you are a sweetheart and liking your graphic art.

Love your reaction, thanks! Always looking to watch first time reactions to this spellbinding performance!
Thank you for having the sensitive personality makes it great watching your yt.
She became a national hit and has many albums out. This was her breakout moment....💜
I'm sure the words were very meaningful to her. A lovely voice, a lovely person.
one of the all time great auditions on any talent show! Maybe check out Janet Devlin audition sometime? ♥
NO NO NO!!! DISNEY does NOT deserve her. This song is from "Les Miserables" , which is/was a Broadway Musical.

You picked up on the vibe immediately. A+
I have her Christmas album and I listen to it all year!
Gives me chills every time !!!
I love watching your reactions!.

Also (and people can totally disagree) but I feel like Anne Hathaway’s performance of this song (in the movie) changed the way people heard this song and performed it.

Simon signed her to a contract after this
She blew everybody away and I’d love to hear her in Disney! You should watch the musical Les Mis, not the one without the music. It’s very sad but an amazing musical.
After this, she got a makeover & has made 7 albums. What is also cool is that I saw a video on UA-cam of her singing with her hero Eileene Page.
