A Look Back At Susan Boyle’s Most Memorable Performances

After enjoying a decade of fame and success, Susan Boyle decided to revisit the world of televised talent shows with a renewed desire to win. Though she was incredibly gracious about coming in second place to the dance group “Diversity” during her initial run on “Britain’s Got Talent,” she still desired that first-place spot. She auditioned for “America’s Got Talent: The Champions,” a spin-off of “America’s Got Talent” meant to showcase former competitors of the show who performed well in the past.

Boyle sang “Wild Horses” by The Rolling Stones and once again proved to the panel of judges, including Simon Cowell, who had witnessed her initial audition in 2009, that her singing ability, performance skills, and personal presentation had only improved over the years. After she sang, Cowell complimented Boyle, saying, “I can’t think of any other contestant who has defined this show better than you, I’m being honest with you. You’re the one. You’ve made a huge difference to a lot of people’s lives, and I’m absolutely thrilled that you’re here.”

Her performance was so outstanding that she received the golden buzzer and was propelled directly to the semi-final round of the competition. Unfortunately, Boyle did not achieve her goal of winning the show, but she did leave a lasting impression. Boyle included a cover of “Wild Horses” on her first album, “I Dreamed a Dream” in 2010.
