Susan Boyle: The Biggest YouTube Sensation Ever?

Susan Boyle, a contestant of Britain’s Got Talent 2009 stuns all judges including Simon Cowell and all the audience. I heard her voice while I was in our room and I thought it was Lea Salonga on TV singing “I Dreamed A Dream” a personal favorite song of mine from Broadway musical Les Miserables but alas it was Susan Boyle, 47 Scottish, who is now a web phenomenon after seeing this Britain’s Got Talent episode. See the video below (though it is not as clear as we saw it on ANC) and see for yourself or just look at the judges awe and the audience stunned with her impressive voice! The three judges cannot help but all give her three “YESes”!

One of this week’s most widely reported and talked about stories has been the appearance of Susan Boyle, a 47 year-old singer from Scotland, on the show Britain’s Got Talent.

The performance – which surprised the show’s live audience, judges, and subsequently the world – has led to appearances by Boyle on American television programs like Good Morning America and The Early Show.

Now, the YouTube video of the performance is approaching levels of some of the biggest viral hits of all-time. Visible Measures, which tracks online video usage, estimates that so far Boyle’s performance has already been seen more than 47 million times in all, taking into account all of the reproductions of the original.
