I think the beauty of her voice comes through here more than BGT’s but the audience reaction is what made the other video.
BritainSoTalented
From a charity CD made in 1999 of which only 1000 copies were made. It was her first recording. 10 years ago she could have been discovered. Honestly, how could they look past her voice? Maybe they couldn’t look past her appearance, which I find just fine. Her spirit and sense of humor come right through. It’s quite refreshing. As the youngest of 9, it’s clear she can hold her own - even through the snickers and insults.
The Daily Record’s LAURA COVENTRY:
Susan has lived alone with her cat Pebbles since her mum Bridget died two years ago at the age of 91.
She has admitted that she has never been on a date or even been kissed but she was too shy to discuss her spinster lifestyle on CBS.
Aaah, no comment. I don’t want to talk about that.
Sawyer asked Susan what she would do with the prize money if she won, but she replied:
Well, it’s just baby steps at the moment, we shall see how things progress.
Susan wouldn’t rule out having a makeover as part of Britain’s Got Talent, telling Sawyer:
You’ll have to watch the programme and find out.
But she did admit there would be no repeat of the dance steps she showed off on Saturday.
That’s it. Let’s try and keep it ladylike.
Susan suffered a mild form of brain damage at birth and she admitted to Sawyer that she was bullied when she was younger.
They did a bit, but they always do that with someone who is quiet and I tended to be quiet at school. Well, they have turned around. They are nice to me now, so we will move on from there.
Susan said her friends and family were “gobsmacked” by her success. And when Sawyer asked what she would say to her late parents if she could, she replied:
I would like to say thank you for supporting me over the years, thank you for looking after me and I hope I can make you proud.
She added:
I went on the audition to see how far I could get but the standard is very high. You need a lot of hard work and perseverance to make it.
I think there is room for improvement though.
