Susan Boyle - Fame (recorded in 1998)

Newly unearthed recording of pre-fame Susan Boyle singing the eighties hit 'Fame' (originally sung by Irene Cara). The then 37 year old sings the song at a talent contest in the Wishaw & District Ex-Servicemen's Institute, Lanarkshire, in 1998.

Andrea Mains realised the lady she'd filmed competing alongside her daughter Charlene was now a superstar. Andrea, 47, recalled: "It is really ironic to watch Susan singing Fame when, 11 years later, she's known all over the world."

Prophetic lyrics as follows:

Baby look at me
And tell me what you see
You ain't seen the best of me yet
Give me time I'll make you forget the rest

I got more in me
And you can set it free
I can catch the moon in my hands
Ooh you got what it takes

Remember my name
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly

I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry

I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame

I'm gonna live forever
Baby remember my name

Baby hold me tight
Cause you can make it right
You can shoot me straight to the top
Give me love and take all I've got to give

Baby I'll be tough
Too much is not enough
I'll build your hopes til it breaks
Ooo you got what it takes

I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly

I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry

I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame

I'm gonna live forever
Baby remember my name

I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry

I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame

I'm gonna live forever
Baby remember my name

Remember my name

WOw, I just found this clip. I didn't know that she could sing upbeat song. She should record this on her next album.
