Simon Cowell talks Susan Boyle in new interview

Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell reflects on Susan Boyle's outstanding year from BGT conant to one of the most famous singers in the world.

When Simon spoke about the quilt, I started crying. I am so impressed that he took notice of that gift and recognized how important it was.

[DonDraperism]

When you put all the sarcasm and rudeness away, Simon Cowell is a pretty astute and sharp business man.

[lcazden]

I love Simon -- he is so honest and he truly loves Susan -- he respects her legendary talent and the depth of her as a kind and loving human being. Bravo Simon --- thanks for giving Susan Boyle the opportunity to be appreciated by the world.

Simon has done a phenomenal job in producing and promoting Susan's debut album. He earns my respect!

[alexanderpytko]

Simon is right, Susan didn't do this because she wanted to be famous, she did it because she wanted to be a singer and share her gift with the world and that is the proper attitude for being a good singer. I'd say that's why Simon has so much love and respect for Susan. Not only is Susan a great singer but she wanted to be a singer for all the right reasons.

I LOVE how Simon opens this interview. "Susan flies in the face of every ... talentless monster". It's so perfectly accurate, and absolutely hilarious.

[maribethspence]

Just love this woman and at least once every year I find myself doing a marathon of these videos about her...only the positive ones though. She is beautiful inside and outside. She's a beautiful soul! Love you Susan!

[DFullerLisa]

Simon is spot on with most of his calls. He can also admit when he’s wrong and does apologize on occasion when he’s to mean but he knows talent when he sees it.

I love her beyond understanding...She was REAL. No pretension, nothing fake, no....anything that was not exactly who she was: A simply-dressed, double-chinned, heavy-set middle-aged woman with no attitude or assumption of being 'special.' I love her to this day and watch her premier appearance on Britain's Got Talent over, and over, and over And don't think I'll be stopping anytime soon. Going from THAT to the extreme success Boyle became OVERNIGHT is almost terrifying to contemplate. (Paul Potts is also one of the all ^^ above. Another singer I watch and

Simon, I really appreciate your words here, especially about the meaning of a quilt. Each square was carefully stitched and pieced together with love. Whenever Susan and her wee Pebbles wrap themselves in their quilts, they are wrapping themselves in the love of fans from all seven continents.

[SirBeastly]

I don't think I've ever heard Simon speak so highly of someone

[GuantanamoBayBarbie]

We love Susan Boyle here in America! I can't listen to her sing without crying. One of only 2 people to ever have that effect on me.
God bless you Susan, and love from Oregon.❤

He got it right. It only took two seconds for her to change thousands of minds. I got goosebumps the first time I heard her sing and it still happens frequently now. I admire Susan Boyle and I love to hear her sing. We are all so fortunate that she had the courage to step out onto that stage! Thank you Susan Boyle! 💞☮️🙏🏼💞

[eugeniebauman]

Susan Boyle is healing me not just for her story of her life but the incredible beauty of her tones and also her pluckiness and beautiful strength of character as well Brava and may GOD watch over you Angel of beauty.

[jensz]

Couldnt have happened to a nicer lady. Glad she ended up making it...she is living her dream. Who would not enjoy such a great success story!

[jakejaekels]

I remember hearing and seeing her first stage performance on BGT. She sang about two words, I DREAM, and I knew she was going to be famous. What a wonderful ability.

[ellajackson]

We American people love Susan Boyals music.. can't get enough..

[thanksfernuthin]

That audition fills your soul. We're born with a hunger to see a fellow human being transcend beyond what we think is possible. In this case a frumpy little lady no one has ever heard of sings like an angel to shame the devil. I just watched it again after many years and the result is the same. Tears as I watch reality flipped on it's head for an audience of people just like you and me.

[mottthehoople]

Just when I lost my faith in my fellow man ...came Susan Boyle.... thank you so much

[kimessex]

I think Susan Boyle is so cute and when they fix her up she just looks like a little doll I love her because she is a loving person and she has this cute blanket on her bed and Donny Osmond is in the blanket she's very humble to and she sounds like an angel
