When a timid, middle-aged woman with a wicked smile and a modest demeanor entered the stage of Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, everyone momentarily stopped. Although no one anticipated Susan Boyle’s narrative, she became a worldwide sensation after giving a chilling rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” from the musical Les Misérables.
“I didn’t expect this kind of reaction. It was weird to begin with, but I like the attention, and I could get used to it. I am taking it all in my stride,” said the Scottish-born chanteuse, now 63.
Boyle revealed in a 2009 interview with The Guardian that she was unsure of how the public would react to her following a lifetime of bullying because of her learning condition. Boyle’s Asperger’s Syndrome and significantly higher-than-average IQ were eventually determined.
“I expected people to be a wee bit cynical,” she said of silencing her skeptics. “But I decided to win them round. That is what you do. They didn’t know what to expect…You just have to keep going and take one step at a time and one day you will make it. You just don’t give up.”
Her ensuing successes, such as the poignant “O Holy Night,” were made possible by this performance.
Boyle’s ‘gift’
Boyle used the difficult hymn “O Holy Night,” a hit from her Christmas album “The Gift,” to open the 2010 Christmas season on The View.
When asked why she chose that title, she humbly replied, “Because my voice is a gift from god. It’s a gift to the public at Christmastime.”
Her passionate delivery and pristine notes made her performance of the song nothing short of amazing.
While fans characterize her performance as profoundly touching and unforgettable, critics have lauded her vocal accuracy and ability to capture the spiritual essence of the song.
“Only once in a lifetime does a Susan Boyle comes to grace the stage with such a powerful gift of voice! She’s magic,” shares one netizen in the comments section of the YouTube clip.
“What can you say but WOW! I can never hear her sing without bringing a tear to my eye. She truly is a gift from Heaven,” writes a second. And a third pens, “the world NEEDED this treasure so badly, and here she is.”
In addition to being a musical triumph, her performance demonstrated her ongoing appeal.
Susan Boyle’s performance of “O Holy Night” has become a mainstay on Christmas specials and holiday playlists all across the world since it was first released. It’s a song that unites listeners in the common delight of the season, spanning age, culture, and background.
