What has been your favorite performance by Susan Boyle?

[suzanneoffer]

Her music has given so much joy to millions of people. I hope she has peace and joy in her life!

[annieoakley]

You never know what anyone has experienced growing up or growing older! It breaks my heart to learn that Susan suffered such abuse by bullies in school and then, her father at home! I wish I could tell her how much joy she has brought to my life through her beautiful voice and her music! I pray that she’ll continue to sing and hope she makes another album, but most of all, I wish her peace! Thank you Susan Boyle for sharing your beautiful voice with us! You are one strong woman and beautiful inside and out! ❤

what a terrible story. Susan is an amazing woman and a wonderful voice...Hope she can overcome her past and move ahead...she is amazing.

[susanbettini]

Shame on the audience who booed her in their minds because of her appearance!!! She was a wonderful person....mind, body and soul!!!

[diannebernau]

Having experienced bullying at school, due to an illness, I can identify with what Susan went through. In the 60s and 70s my illness was something never talked about and I always felt it was something to be ashamed of. It is hard enough to have to live with something others don’t understand without being bullied about it. It took me a long time to admit I had it growing up. Susan has brought so much joy to our lives. I have loved her music since her original audition when she proved you should never judge anyone. I wish her a long and healthy life and hope her career continues to be successful. 😘💕🥰🇦🇺

Well, Susan Boyle is loved by her many fans. She is such a delightful person. As a singer she is a star. We love seeing her, listening to her and cheering her on.

[ianduncan]

I am just in awe of this lady, her rendition of Wild Horses is for me a masterclass in how to deliver a song. Susan wrung every bit of emotion out of the lyrics and delivered a world-class performance. All this and yet she remains humble how can you not admire her?

[meshiamae]

I loved her on her 1st audition on BGT. They laughed and rolled their eyes and she continued with confidence and smiled. Pierce and Amanda both reminded her how everyone was against her and hated her and cheeky. She smiled and was told she was surprisingly remarkable and a pleasure to listen too.There’s bully’s all over and Susan handled everyday with class. Beautiful woman She doesn’t seem to have any anger or bitterness ❤️‼️

[susancraig]

An amazing woman who overcame so many things and yet persevered with her dream. Her first song said it all.. she had a dream. How remarkable she really is plus a wonderful singer.
Sending love from another Susan in Canada.

Susan has had a hard road and I was very saddened to hear she'd recently had a minor stroke and had to work to get her voice back to performance level. She's a great inspiration for resilience and hard work and staying focused on the positives. Of course she'll have her up and down times - like all of us, but she's a fighter, and she needs to keep remembering there's a lot of love and respect out there for her. Well done Susan! ❤

[proudasiangirl]

She's such an inspiration on how she lives in such a positive state of mind. Much respect to her.

[NinaPatton-fznn]

Susan is extremely talented. I am very happy for her success.

[jimmylopez]

A person with an impressive voice. I'm about to be her age in a few months, my dad was born in the year her parents married. I was also bullied in school. I can feel the pain she's had gone through. I cried seeing this, but she has done what hurts bullies the most!

[staynyourlane]

Many people that have gone through the tribulations such as Susan Boyle are left irretrievably broken. Susan however, has persevered and thank goodness she did so she could share her beautiful voice with the world. I hope she finds peace in her life. She is so deserving.

[lolagibson]

I was bullied and so was my siblings. We stayed off to ourselves at school. No one would pick us for their games or teams, from elementary to high school. We were poor and they never stopped with the name calling and insults. Im thrilled Susan has overcome so many things. It took years but I did too. May God Bless her beyond measure!

[pamelacarlson]

I admire Susan for going after her dream. I hated the eye rolling of some audience members when she first appeared. Over and over again we see people with talent who may not look the way we think they should and they always prove the naysayers wrong. God bless Susan for her strength, courage, beauty and talent. She has given us so much

[CoolTaxiDriver]

I saw her the BGT finale and she was fabulous!!! She has done 8 albums in the past 11 years, and working on more! “Susan Boyle's Present Activities and Where She Is Now in 2023. Boyle is presently involved in music production, working on new tracks for her eager fan base. A known philanthropist, Boyle uses her platform to support various charities and causes. She enjoys a quiet life in her hometown, Blackburn, Scotland.” Although she has faced much adversity (as we all do) she seems to rise above it all.

[theresachiorazzi]

This is old news I love Susan’s beautiful voice I wish her a happy life. ❤❤❤❤❤

[ofelialopez]

Not a tragic story, she was a nobody and she rose to fame in her late age because of her angelic voice .. it is already a blessing ..
