Susan's Comeback Her Dream Lives On

The Modest Star Returns For Another Shot At Fame.

When Susan Boyle first stepped onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage 10 years ago, few could predict what was to come.

As the audience laughed at her, she declared her dream was to be a professional singer. But the shy, middle-aged Scot persisted, delivering a rousing performance of I Dreamed a Dream that the world still remembers – and rendering Simon Cowell speechless.

Although she didn’t end up winning that third season – finishing as the runner-up to dance crew Diversity – the show made her a star. In the ensuing years, she’s sold more than 20 million records.

After a few years off the grid to spend time with family and friends, Susan (57) is back and gearing up for a mammoth comeback headed by old boss Simon.

“This is a big year for Susan and she is very much stepping back into the limelight,” a pal says. “This is just the start.”

Susan has started with a bang as a contestant on America’s Got Talent: The Champions, a spin-off from the franchise in which past winners and finalists from various countries compete against each other.
