Perhaps Susan Boyle’s success is one of the best stories of 2009. One year ago, Susan Boyle was unknown and had no job. She lived alone with her pet cat in Britain. She had little idea about her ability. In 2009, she appeared on a TV show and that changed her life forever. Although Susan came second in the final competition, millions of people around the world loved her song ‘I Dreamed A Dream.’ Susan’s powerful voice and ordinary look made her a superstar.
After the competition, Susan began to feel the pressure of becoming famous so quickly. She was always busy and felt tired. She wanted to return to her usual life in the past. But soon she gained her confidence again and recorded her first album called I Dreamed A Dream. It came out on November 23, 2009 and became the fastest selling U.K. debut album (首张专辑). It is also the biggest selling album of the year in the U.K.. On December 13, 2009, another of Susan’s dreams came true: She had the chance to perform with her idol, Elaine Paige on her own TV show.
Susan Boyle gives inspiration (鼓舞) and hope to many people all over the world. She was an ordinary woman, living an ordinary life. But ordinary people can sometimes do extraordinary things too!
