Susan BoyleTops The Hit Charts
by J. Grant Swank, Jr (4/22/09)
There have been more than 100 million hits on Susan Boyle’s Internet fame via Britain’s Got Talent.
“And it has been watched five times more than US President Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremony in January, which has had 18.5million views.
“US-based firm Visible Measures tracked 200 videos from top sharing sites and worked out that all clips related to Susan have generated 85.2million views in one week” per Lizzie Smith on MailOnLine.
Now Susan continues to greet her well wishers in the same down-home fashion as is her persona. She is such a welcomed guest to all of us because she is real.
Susan made fame with her entry on Britain’s Got Talent when the three judges were astounded by her talent. But more—they were won over by her sincerity.
When a journalist asked her how all this attention has impressed her, she responded by saying “It humbled me.”
That’s vintage Susan Boyle.
A singer in her village church as well as at the local pub’s kareoke, Susan keeps her music at the top of her voice. She’s quite ready with a song as was evidenced when Larry King asked her for a song. She
simply stood there in her living room and started to sing.Britain’s Got Talent judge Piers Morgan invited her to London for dinner. She replied via the Larry King Show: “I accept!”
It was a crisp two word reply, of course from the heart.
