Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell reflects on Susan Boyle's outstanding year from BGT conant to one of the most famous singers in the world. Follow us on twitter at / itn_on Test
Listening to him speak about Susan Boyle changed my concept of him. I was hating him for years because he always sounded like a bully,and being rude to people. This is the kindest I have ver heard him speak.
Simon is very similar to Gordon Ramsey. They're experts and complete professionals. They are quick to throw out what doesn't work, but will absolutely be the first to commend excellence.
I love Simon -- he is so honest and he truly loves Susan -- he respects her legendary talent and the depth of her as a kind and loving human being. Bravo Simon --- thanks for giving Susan Boyle the opportunity to be appreciated by the world.
I LOVE how Simon opens this interview. "Susan flies in the face of every ... talentless monster". It's so perfectly accurate, and absolutely hilarious.
@@melianna999 I did not mean to offend you, but she wanted to be a famous singer and he made her a famous singer because people wanted to hear her. It was business and talent coming together, privately he surely likes her, but it doesn't matter. That's all I meant.
@@susivarga7303 I am not offended I know the story of Susan and cried not once when I was listening to her. I even took one day last year to listen to her concerts on You Tube and and to watch documentary about her life. Because english is not my native language my comment also had no sense to me.😂🥰
Simon is right, Susan didn't do this because she wanted to be famous, she did it because she wanted to be a singer and share her gift with the world and that is the proper attitude for being a good singer. I'd say that's why Simon has so much love and respect for Susan. Not only is Susan a great singer but she wanted to be a singer for all the right reasons.
I love her beyond understanding...She was REAL. No pretension, nothing fake, no....anything that was not exactly who she was: A simply-dressed, double-chinned, heavy-set middle-aged woman with no attitude or assumption of being 'special.' I love her to this day and watch her premier appearance on Britain's Got Talent over, and over, and over and..... And don't think I'll be stopping anytime soon. Going from THAT to the extreme success Boyle became OVERNIGHT is almost terrifying to contemplate. (Paul Potts is also one of the all ^^ above. Another singer I watch and watch.....
He got it right. It only took two seconds for her to change thousands of minds. I got goosebumps the first time I heard her sing and it still happens frequently now. I admire Susan Boyle and I love to hear her sing. We are all so fortunate that she had the courage to step out onto that stage! Thank you Susan Boyle! 💞☮️🙏🏼💞
IL EST TOUT À FAIT NORMAL QUE CE CHANGEMENT RADICAL DE VIE L AIT BOUSCULÉ SECOUÉE MÊME " SI CELA ÉTAIT SON RÊVE" et QU ELLE EST SI EXCEPTIONNELLEMENT PATIENTE CET ENVAHISSEMENT MÉDIATIQUE NE POUVAIT QU ÊTRE DESTABILISANT MALGRÉ SON SOURIRE TRANQUILLE BRAVO. SUSAN 🤩💖🤗🤗🤗😃
Simon is spot on with most of his calls. He can also admit when he’s wrong and does apologize on occasion when he’s to mean but he knows talent when he sees it.
Just love this woman and at least once every year I find myself doing a marathon of these videos about her...only the positive ones though. She is beautiful inside and outside. She's a beautiful soul! Love you Susan!
I do the same. I won't be thinking about it for months then all of a sudden Susan Boyle comes to mind and I'll go out to RU-vid and watch a bunch of Susan videos.
I remember hearing and seeing her first stage performance on BGT. She sang about two words, I DREAM, and I knew she was going to be famous. What a wonderful ability.
Simon, I really appreciate your words here, especially about the meaning of a quilt. Each square was carefully stitched and pieced together with love. Whenever Susan and her wee Pebbles wrap themselves in their quilts, they are wrapping themselves in the love of fans from all seven continents.
Susan Boyle is healing me not just for her story of her life but the incredible beauty of her tones and also her pluckiness and beautiful strength of character as well Brava and may GOD watch over you Angel of beauty.
We love Susan Boyle here in America! I can't listen to her sing without crying. One of only 2 people to ever have that effect on me. God bless you Susan, and love from Oregon.❤
I think Susan Boyle is so cute and when they fix her up she just looks like a little doll I love her because she is a loving person and she has this cute blanket on her bed and Donny Osmond is in the blanket she's very humble to and she sounds like an angel
That audition fills your soul. We're born with a hunger to see a fellow human being transcend beyond what we think is possible. In this case a frumpy little lady no one has ever heard of sings like an angel to shame the devil. I just watched it again after many years and the result is the same. Tears as I watch reality flipped on it's head for an audience of people just like you and me.
Susan Boyle is the example of believing in your own talent. she had been trying for many years but no one took notice of this very sweet and simple (positive meaning) person until she took the courage (bravo Susan) to sing on BGT and well the rest is ......... Thank you Simon for admitting that you wanted to get her off the stage. Takes guts to say that. Thank you!!
I agree with his comments that far to many people who are "celebrities" nowadays have absolutely no talent and will do anything just to make a buck. As for Susan Boyle the minute she started to sing she sounded like an angel, we knew immediately she was someone special. As she walked off state a star was born.
Only God knows how many times ive watched Susans first audition... I dreamed a dream...Wild Horses and Always on my mind. It just blew me away!!! Watching Simons reaction was absolutely awesome!!! He was overwhelmed when Susan walked out in America's Got Talent... Singing "Wild Horses" Simon does not endure fools!!! Thank you, Simon Cowell for what you have done for Susan and giving all of us a chance to hear the Angelic Voice of Susan Boyle!!! We love you, Simon Cowell
I always have to shake my head when I hear people say she's had a makeover since Britain's Got Talent. Shore Susan has got new clothes and had her hair done when she performs, but she's kept it quite tame and she's still the lady that stepped out on the stage the first time
Very nice interview. Simon actually "gets" Susan and why so many people love her. He understands, which is reassuring because he's guiding her career right now. One can sense his genuine appreciation for Susan as a person and as an artist. No wonder Simon has been able to launch her career in such spectacular fashion.
@lifesaver3348 I agree 100%. If you watch the original audition video, you see Simon's face completely light up. This man got into music because he loves it, as everyone does. Whatever else you feel, when you work at that level in the music industry, you at least began with this pure love of good music, and you could see that she reawakened that in him. His grin was boyish, happy, he was absolutely enthralled. I think she really moved him, as she has many of us in the world.
I hope Simon doesn't let any of others judges hurt her beautiful soul. She is too sensitive . And she already collapsed because of stress many years ago. I will pray for her while she compete on AGT Champions. She doesn't need to prove anything anymore. She is phenomenal, sensational singer in the history of music. OMG I love Susan so much
Susan Boyle was the greatest thing to ever happened to Simon Cowell, as well. Completely transformed his image in the eyes of the world..,,bravo to both of you!!!
We Americans root for the underdog and love to show our appreciation. Susan looked like someone that lived next door to you and you'd probably just think she's one of the neighbors . . . until she sings. Wow! I hope she gets what she wants out of life and then some. Good interview. Still like Simon no matter what!
Don't bash Simon Cowell if you don't know anything. He's one of the most hard working and CARING men in the world. You only see his character when he judges. He does more charity and is nicer than most the celebrities in the world. Learn your facts. Then comment. But, yes. Anti-Paris Hilton. Go Susan!
"Famous for being useless" . You nailed it Simon,! and you nailed it with Susan Boyle. I'm so glad she went on to have such a great career, and Simon was a big part of that
Simon Cowell, God Bless him, has changed more lives than anyone around today. He's given the unknown talent a platform in which to shine! I'm a huge fan of Simon!
Many of people love the same about this story. Funny enough we missed simple, humble people in modern world full of overconfident “stars” who know it all.
Who happens to be one the most successful record executives on the planet. I don't think you know that his television appearances are merely a night time gig for him. He does have a job that he does during the day...and that is selling over 100 million records.
Simon, at least you got this one right! Happy that it is all turning out just fantastic for Susan, and glad you set out here to set a few things straight!
In a more recent concert Simon said "We owe so much to you Susan". As a Canadian wbi has bought several of Susan's CD's, I remember Susan's audittion o BGT. I still love you Sussn in June of 2023. I'm so glad you got to sing for the Queen more than once before she passed. ❤❤❤
I'm happy to see that he has a warm,inner side to him.O.K. this is a video.In real life I always try to remember that we all have a divine G-Dly soul & we can connect to that in others simply by visualizing that. When yo look for the good in others in comes out of them.
Although no fan of Simon I've never understood why he has so many haters. He's may not be modes he's a bit cocky but he's honest and good at what he does. Susan and a few others would not have their successful careers without his shows. Yes; he earns a lot of money from them but they also have generous incomes and assets because of it.
I love Simon Cowell. I love Susan Boyle. People don't like Simon because he tells the truth and he doesn't mince words. He calls it like he sees it. If you have talent, he says so. If you can't sing to save your life, he doesn't perpetuate your delusion.....he tells the TRUTH. People don't like Susan because, well, they're just plain jealous because they've done nothing with their useless lives and can't stand when ANYONE succeeds.
Yes. Quilts can actually "tell" a story. It's a shame that the last few generations aren't more interested them. To them, a quilt is something you buy factory made in a store. Those done by hand are done with love. And I can tell you they last longer than factory made ones do.
@LunarDowns Well he is successfull by his own hand. As in he is a proven businessman who has done very well and is not just some guy they picked up as a "personality". You should read up on him.
AmandaM. simon IS handsome. ur view is distorted because of ur dislike of him. truth is being correct. sarcasm means being bitter or derisive. PROPERLY apply them b4 u make any further comments abt simon. he shows nothg but the highest regards for susan in his interview here
Yep, it was a bolt from the blue indeed. I found out about Susan via what was surely one of the less-likely sources: the online forum of the Studebaker club! Clicked on the link in that forum post, and holy smoke...
