Susan Boyle wears her signature silver sequins and an all-black ensemble as she arrives at ‘America’s Got Talent’ at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on August 20, 2019.
Susan Magdalane Boyle was born in Scotland on April 1, 1961. She quickly rose to fame after competing on the wildy popular talent show, ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ in the UK in 2009. Susan – or ‘SuBo’, as the fans nicknamed her – sung the iconic “I Dreamed A Dream” from the musical Les Miserables for her initial appearance. She released her first album, also titled “I Dreamed A Dream” later that year. The debut included various covers, and broke records, becoming the fastest selling UK debut album at the time with over 400,000 copies. In the US, the album also topped Billboard’s charts for a whopping six weeks. She has released seven studio albums over the last decade, under the direction of Simon Cowell — also a judge on ‘BGT.’ Boyle has also been public about her Asperger syndrom diagnosis.
