Simon Cowell FLABBERGHASTED For First Time Ever?

Unlikely singing sensation eyes date with queen

(CNN) -- Television and YouTube singing sensation Susan Boyle has promised to be on her best behavior if she wins the right to sing for the queen.

The 47-year-old Boyle, who says she has never been kissed, was catapulted into the spotlight after her rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical "Les Miserables," on the television show "Britain's Got Talent" at the weekend.

The winner of the show gets to sing for the queen at the Royal Variety Show.

Boyle has a long way to go though -- having just won through to the second round after judge Simon Cowell described her first performance as "extraordinary."

Still, she was already thinking of how she would behave.

"Whatever comes my way, I am ready. It would be lovely to sing for the queen. There would be less of the carry on from me, and more of the singing.

"She is a very regal lady, very nice, so I would be nice too, and just get up there and give it a bit of wellie (try)," Boyle told the show's Web site.

Boyle said she was trying to take her new found fame in her stride.

"It's a challenge. Life is a challenge sometimes but this is different. And I like to test myself.

"If it all gets too much and they lock me up, I want a great big strait-jacket with spots on it. A pink one... and a big zip on the back so I can escape."

A clip of Boyle's performance had more than 11 million views on YouTube by Thursday, and the world's media have beaten a path to her door in Blackburn, West Lothian, Scotland.VideoWatch Boyle's singing wow the world

Cowell is reportedly already trying to piece together a record deal for Boyle, an unemployed charity worker, who lives with her cat, Pebbles.

For fans of Boyle, who attracted laughs and s******s when she first appeared on stage before winning a standing ovation, the album cannot come quick enough.

CNN has been inundated with hundreds of messages of support for Boyle.

Simone said: "I've been so depressed all day but hearing this woman sing and reading her story gave me a pick-me-up... I look forward to hearing more of her and I hope to buy her CD as soon as it hits the shelves."

Cynthia wanted Cowell to move quickly.

"She brought tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat. I hope Simon does get her a record contract...I'll buy her CD. Never judge a book by it's cover. Susan Boyle, you go, girl!"

Jim described Boyle's talent as "unbelievable" and "beautiful."

"I wish Susan the very best in her new life and hopefully someone has put her under contract. Thank you for such a beautiful song."

Larry wanted to offer Boyle a kiss.

"I have just heard you sing for the first time -- thanks to CNN -- and I must tell you this: You are a fabulous talent, simply amazing to me that no one took advantage of your voice and passion up until now. I am a happily married man, but if I were not, and if I was in the audience, I can guarantee you that I would ask for a kiss, and if you were gracious enough to indulge me, well that would have been one of the great highlights of my life. Looking forward to the first of many albums."

I know it's kind of oxymoronic of me to post something like this in AD but the point is.... look at the picture - obviously a person like her do not usually make it to being a "celebrity star" because she does not have the "look" for it. However - she stunned the world and possibly Queen of Britain with her angelic voice. This is a great example of "do not judge the book by its cover."
 
That's great. I love the triumphant underdog stories. :)
 
LONDON -- A middle-aged volunteer church worker with the voice of an angel is Britain's latest unlikely showbiz star.

Susan Boyle, 47, wowed judges and audience alike when she performed on television contest "Britain's Got Talent."

By Tuesday, a video clip of Boyle's performance on Internet site YouTube has been watched more than 2.7 million times.

The unemployed Scot who said she'd "never been kissed" drew titters when she told the judges her ambition was to be a professional singer.

But her soaring rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical "Les Miserables" astonished the show's hard-to-please judges.

They were captivated by the singer from Blackburn in western Scotland. Usually acerbic judge Simon Cowell dubbed her singing "extraordinary." Fellow judge Piers Morgan said her "stunning" performance was "the biggest surprise I've had in three years of this show."

The show, the first in a new series of "Britain's Got Talent," was watched by 11.4 million of Britain's 60 million people on Saturday night.

British bookmakers made Boyle the early favorite to win the series.

She is the latest in a proud tradition of underdogs who win the heart of the British public.

The program, sister show of "America's Got Talent," made a star of its first winner, an unassuming mobile phone salesman named Paul Potts. He wowed audiences with his rendition of the aria "Nessun Dorma" and has become a global recording star since winning the series _ and signing to Cowell's record label _ in 2007.

Is he a man ?? I am confused because the article said, " I am happily married man".

Some man called Larry is a happily married man but would like to kiss Susan Boyle who is the woman in the picture.
 
Hubby and I saw that! He was amazed! When she walked out there, I was not expecting her to be - or not be - a certain way, based on her appearance or anything. After she sang, I just thought her voice was AWESOME! I was very happy for her.

Yes, very true Jiro - not to judge a book by the cover....
 
Reminds me of Paul Potts on that show. Simon was dumbfounded when they heard him also.. Here is the youtube link to that

Well, let's all ask ourselves how many of us knew who Simon Cowell was before American Idol? What about Randy? And that new chick next to Paula Abdul? I didn't know those three, but I knew who Paula was.

This lady is not and did not sing as a representative of the record industry, which is what American Idol is and continues to be, yet you think those people really have talent on that show. Add a little makeup and a good sound guy . . . this would make anyone with half a brain sound like a million bucks!
 
Well, I don't think ALL the people who go on those shows have talent and I am sure that many good things go into the performance from many people. But on the occasion that I have watched any of the performers <I don't generally watch the talent programs on tv -often not home at night>, I have come across what I would consider poor performances from a layperson standpoint and from a lay viewpoint I don't think that was one of them. Now she might not sound AS GOOD as she seemed that night without accompanied help, but she still might sound pretty good. And I give her credit for doing something she alleges she had always dreamed of.
 
I think it is GREAT! I am sure she will get a make over and Look as pretty as she sings!


GO gal!!!

Glad to see someone from down the bottom, to make it to the top!!

Shame, that people always look at the cover. Before they can see the inner beauty and talents.
