Susan's story is one of pain and triumph. She went from a child with learning disabilities, to an adult with relentless passion. At the age of 47, she shocked the world with her beautiful voice, and became a constant on the widely televised "Britain's Got Talent". She exceeded everyone's expectations and went on to sell almost 4 million copies of her debut album "I Dreamed a Dream," debuting as the number one best selling album on charts around the globe. Global interest in Boyle was triggered by the contrast between her powerful voice and her plain appearance on stage. The juxtaposition of the audience's first impression of her with the standing ovation she received during and after her performance led to an international media and Internet response. Within nine days of the audition, videos of Boyle - from the show, various interviews and her 1999 rendition of "Cry Me a River" - had been watched over 100 million times. This is the story of how a shy loner from Blackburn, Scotland went from "Pain To Fame".
