Susan Boyle is phenomenon, her famous beyond her own imagine. Susan Boyle, 47 years old, got famous from all over the world because the short appearance on ITV’s reality show, Britain’s Got Talent. She doesn’t have a professional experience about singing career. She only practice in her bathroom during her bath,and in local choir.

Never been kiss’s woman, now is superstar, she is not even win from singing talent show yet. But her voice, the cynical she’s got from judge and audience back then, and her story, brought her up become a super star in one night. Just like a fairy tales, where the girl from small village,come to big city to join the contest and win, suddenly the world change for her. Is she gonna like the changing?

“It has been a really hectic week, all go,” she said. “I didn’t expect this kind of reaction. It was weird to begin with, but I like the attention and I could get used to it. I am taking it all in my stride.”

The youngest of nine children, Boyle suffered oxygen deprivation during birth, resulting in learning disabilities. “I come from a musical family,” she says. “It has always been there, from my father down. Singing is always something I have done. It has been in my blood since I was 12 and took part in school productions and shows.”

She attended Edinburgh Acting School and has appeared in the Edinburgh Fringe. She recorded a charity CD of Cry Me a River in 1999, of which 1,000 copies were pressed. She also had a previous brush with television, appearing on Michael Barrymore‘s ITV show My Kind of People, but unlike others – such as Charlotte Church, who were plucked to stardom after appearances on other shows – nobody came knocking for Boyle.

“I did My Kind of People for fun,” she says. “I also sang locally but things had quietened down.”

Boyle decided to audition for Britain’s Got Talent after taking some time away from singing to care for her
mother, who died in 2007 aged 91.

“I had a bit of a rest after my mum died, but I had seen Britain’s Got Talent on TV and thought I would have a go,” she says. “Paul Potts was really good. He was an inspiration to a lot of people and I thought I would take my chances.”

Susan Boyle’s brother, Gerard, 53 years old, said ; “Susan was what you would call a loner,She was happiest on her own, playing her records and losing herself in music. She didn’t really interact with other children.
Eventually she retreated into her own world. Music became her thing.”
Kathleen sudden death in September 2000,caused by asthma, at 53 years old, left Susan devastated. And by the time her sister,Kathleen death, Susan was already well-established in Blackburn , her hometown, as a singer with her local choir and Karaoke at the Happy Valley Hotel.

Susan Boyle’s brother Gerard tells the Mirror;“My father (Patrick Boyle) sang in working men’s clubs and so did I. We’re a very musical family and would all have a sing-song at weddings and family occasions. But Susan was so shy she’d take a back seat. It was only when she was about 10 she sang at a family wedding and we realized she had a real talent. After that we couldn’t stop her” – Lara Gould Daily Mirror

He also said about Susan’s teenage obsession, Donny Osmond, an American singer,musician and former teen idol. “His posters were all over her walls. She would lock herself in her room and play the records over and over again singing along as loud as possible. It used to drive me mad when I would hear it start up the hundredth time. But our mum (Brigdet) would say ‘Leave her alone, it’s all she’s got’.”

For now, Boyle is preparing for her next appearance on the show, which she is odds-on favourite to win before the second audition programme has even aired. She is keeping quiet about what her next song choice will be, although says she has been practising. But tonight, she will take a break from all the madness that has suddenly surrounded her to once again settle down with her brother to watch the show.

Susan Boyle indeed has a great voice,not only that, she brings common people’s dreamt about. Complished to achieve their dream and win from all opstical in a head.
I say, let the world change around you, but don’t change yourself to fit the world. Just be you. My kiss for Pebbles.
