Susan Boyle’s jaw-dropping audition on Britain’s Got Talent is one of the talent show’s most memorable moments – however, creator and judge Simon Cowell has admitted that it was a “wakeup call” for him on how he treated contestants.
Scottish church volunteer Boyle, now 65, auditioned on the ITV show back in 2009, initially being sniggered at by judges Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan after telling them that she hoped to be as successful as Elaine Paige. However, she immediately blew them away with her stunning rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” from musical Les Misérables.
