This is another great performance of Susan Boyle at Semi Final of Britains Got Talent 2009 ... it is actually music from the movie (musical) 'Cats' - song is called Memory.

Susan Boyle (born 1 April 1961)[2][3][4] is a Scottish[5] singer who came to public attention when she appeared as a contestant on the third series of Britain's Got Talent.[6] Boyle became known when she sang "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Misérables in the competition's first round,[7] first broadcast in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2009.[8]

Boyle has always enjoyed singing; she attended Edinburgh Acting School, and took part in the Edinburgh Fringe. Prior to her appearance on Britain's Got Talent, her main experience had come from singing in church and karaoke in the local pubs in her village. She had also tried out several times for My Kind of People.[9]

When she appeared on the Britain's Got Talent stage, the audience and the judges appeared apprehensive and judgmental of her unpolished appearance. Upon finishing her song, she received a standing ovation from the live audience and unanimous praise from the judges.[10] She has been dubbed "The Woman Who Shut Up Simon Cowell".[4]

The contrast between the audience's first impression of her when she appeared on stage compared to the ovation she received afterwards triggered global interest. Articles about her appeared in newspapers worldwide, while the numbers who watched videos of her audition have set an online record.[11] Within nine days of her televised debut, videos of her audition, subsequent interviews of her, and her 1999 rendition of "Cry Me a River" had been viewed a combined total of over 100 million times on the Internet.[12] Cowell is reported to be setting up a contract with Boyle with his Syco Music company label, a subsidiary of Sony Music.[13]
