Susan Boyle returns and joins the West End cast of Les Misérables! | The Final | BGT 2023 

I’m glad to see Susan Boyle is back sorry that she had a stroke and I think her signature song should be Survivor the eye of the Tiger where it says has the will to survive and that ils Susan Boyle God bless her

What I love to see is how everyone immediatly has the biggest smile on their faces as soon as Susan enters that stage. She is loved by so many and it's well deserved. 14 years ago they were laughing because they thought she is just anonther delusional candidate...now they are laughing because they are happy and delighted to see her. ❤

I love Susan. She is one strong lady. I kept her in my prayers.. She doesnt derserve to win, and have to give up so soon. Love ya Susan.. Take care of your health. Please...

I didnt know she had had a stroke, what a comeback though. Long may she keep singing.

Love Susan❤

Exactly This!

​@@Lainer1 ❤

❤true

Exactly!

Agree

And her hometown people protect her.

Agreed ❤❤

It's actually still the council flat she lives in the same one and she still rents it out from the council!!

@@cjsvids8760 incorrect, she actually used some of the loyalties from her first record to buy it & hence renovate it…

Yes me too

I suspect ( righty or wrongly) that Susan’s first appearance in bgt gave to simon a lesson in humility that he grasped and hasn’t let go of.

@@francesr48 I suspect, that he tries until today to clean this stain of his reputation. His behaviour towards her war unforgivable.

Yet he never said a thing to Lucie... she was On x factor in 2009 and don't think he really liked her then.

Read my comment above. He turned his nose up on Susan when she walked out on stage. Thinking,she doesn’t belong on this stage. Till she started singing. And she proved his obnoxious mouth wrong. He’s a hypocrite.

He wants to remember how he threw Lucie out in favour of jedward. Wan@er

God bless you Susan be strong we are all sending you love and pray you heal soon❤❤❤❤

We love you Susan, beautiful voice. It seems the arrangement has been altered slightly so that it is more so similar to her version, what an honour. Simon has really looked after that lovely woman ❤

I THINK I AM GOING TO TRY TO WRITE SUSAN. I KNOW I HEARD HER SAY ONCE, THAT SHE LOVED TO GET MAIL! JUST A THOUGHT.

@@beverlyhill9947 I would love to do that as well, but WHERE would we send it, so she receives it?

I had no clue of her health issue and could tell something wasn't quite right. To find out what she has undergone is just inspiring.

@@michaelmayo2365 2:03 2:04

WHAT SHE DID WAS PRETTY MUCH MIRACLEOUS. TO KNOW THAT SHE SUFFERED A MAJOR STROKE AND TO HAVE TO COME BACK FROM THAT DAMAGE IS SO TELLING OF HER PUSHING HARD TO RECOVER. MY DAUGHTER HAS GRAN MAL SEIUZRES AND SHE LOOSES COGNITIVE PROCESSING WITH EVERY SIEZURE. SHE DOESN'T ALWAYS GET BACK WHAT SHE LOST. SO, I CAN SOMEWHAT RELATE TO SUSAN. A SWEET AND LOVELY LADY.

It's easy to love and admire someone that pure And sweet with an amazing gift

Wow, I didn't know!

Me too. ❤

OMG. I KNEW SHE HAD HEALTH ISSUES, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT THAT SHE SUFFERED. THANK YOU FOR SHARING TRUTH. WE NEED TO BE PRAYING FOR THIS ANGEL, IN SUSAN. SHE HAS GIVEN THE WORLD HER HEART, HER GIFTS, HER SPIRIT. HER KINDNESS AND COMPASSION FOR OTHERS IS SOMETHING WE ALL NEED TO ASPIRE TO BE LIKE. AGAIN,THANK YOU FOR POSTING WORDS THAT MOST OF US HAVE NOT BEEN AWARE OF. BLESSINGS~~

so true, in such a kind and loving way

Love. I and the world Loves Susan Boyle. Thank you precious SUSAN BOYLE

I DITTO YOUR WORDS. LUCIE HAS A MOST GENUINE HEART... THIS WAS APPRARENT ON STAGE.

It's Lucie Jones. She's such a lovely person, the kindest one i've met. She's so warm and sweet and caring... All the ones who have met her will say the same. Glad she showed on telly to everyone that didn't know her

Perhaps Ms. Paige could take a leaf out of Lucie Jones’ book!!

@@mrPp475 Oh my goodness, I loved Lucie Jones the moment she walked on stage and began to sing. Her voice is beautiful, her manner so easy and warm. And yes, the way she attended to our beloved Susan Boyle was so very touching. God bless them!

@@mrPp475 Lucie is so lovely always so kind and down to earth

Lucie showed she is pure class

She is so beautiful she is aging in reverse. Her new life suits her. I’m so happy for her. And I know her mom is looking down with a full full heart.

Yes, she has remained very humble. She is some much loved around the world.

Is Lucie Tom Jones daughter?

Yeah, started crying when I read that. She is strong though.

​@ZZ no tomorrow has two sons and Jones is one of the most common nqmames in Wales

Oh,please....she hasn't a note in her head....

Vivre son Réve est Stimulant et donne la Force de Vivre et de SURVIVRE !!! 🤩🥰

I wish Susan well, but you know as well as I do that she has a terrible voice. Listen at 2:49 as the sound engineers struggle to find an on-key bit of her performance to fade-up to broadcast. If she looks younger now than when she originally appeared: it's because they deliberately styled her when she first walked out onto the BGT stage to look like a ridiculous, old cat-lady. Only an idíot would imagine that BGT doesn't have a massive wardrobe and make-up department. BGT decides how people look when they go on that stage. And they very deliberately made Susan look like a clown. The judges all ridiculed her. They rolled their eyes. They cut her off mid-sentence. Then they got their perfectly stage-managed moment when Susan revealed she was in fact a better-than-mediocre singer. And they hit the world's headlines. Completely contrived and exploitative.

She has clearly aged lmao

​@@Sabtien1what's with the 'clearly aged'. What's the relevance and 'clearly' to who, the world? Or just your own judgement on her appearance

I CRIED TOO...I STILL DO. SHE IS A LOVE LIKE NO OTHER...THANKS FOR SHARING. BEV~~USA, VA

🙏

Wonderful amazing LOVE THIS

Idk she had a stroke!! Thank you for your comment. She's one of my most favorite singers ever.

Well done Susan ❤xx

She won in her own way. To have suffered a traumatic brain injury myself and could not speak, I know what it takes to get back to singing. The specialist who tested me said that I wouldn't regain my speaking voice, but with voice lessons starting at the age of 53 (I always wanted lessons but never could), I was speaking normally AND singing all types of songs after several years work. I applaud Susan for putting in the tremendous effort it took.

Poor Simon has a face like he had a stroke....

I LOVED YOUR POST. YOUR WORDS AT THE END WERE SO SIMPLISTICALLY PROFOUND. I NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THAT WAY. THANKS!

I did not know than Susan Boyle had a stroke .I apologise for saying she sounded off tonight, I admire her courage , again, and am glad that she can still perform .

Looking frail. Not singing as well.

@@phoenix-xu9xj How rude. She is brave, courageous, and still has a beautiful voice.

@@RoyalMasterpiece she does. It's so sad that she is another victim of the dangerous covid vaccine. Sickening and sad.

I didn't know she had a stroke. She looks and sounds amazing

Sie müssen ihre Stimmen dem jeweiligen Tempo anpassen

i think that was to make sure they stayed in sync so as to not embarrass each other. still class to do it.

@@notthesamecc1927 yeah but alos just the way the smiled when each other hit a good note and stuff

@@annabotham2401 yes that is true. Very professional. Only iffy part, was when Lucie (?) cut in front of SB. I found that odd but could very easily have been anything for any reason which I would hope was the reason. It is not normally performed the way they did it so who knows. It was a great tribute/comeback for Susan and what a talent Lucie has. The folks that saw it live saw something special for sure.

I think that was partly to help susan who has always had anxiety focus on not being scared by her return and to keep them in sync. Was very touching.

Susan suffered a stroke.

She’s still got it even if she did have a stroke last year. She’s clearly still recovering but she’s getting there, bless her! BGT legend that lady. (Susan I mean obviously)

I know susan is not well but give the amazing talent of lucie some credit

@@elainemorey1119 i literally did? I spoke about how incredible Lucie is? She's one of the best ever west end performers. I would've killed to see her as Fantine or Elphaba.

I REACTED THE SAME WAY. SUSAN IS AN ANGEL UNAWARE...

I became emotional and cried as well seeing Susan again, looking SO LOVELY and stunned that she had suffered a stroke. Take care Sweet Susan, we all LOVE you.

Lucie Jones is not a contestant. She plays Fantine in the West End production of Le Mis.

@@ritarhine2903 Perhaps they got confused with X-Factor, from which Lucie Jones was known.

I remember everyone drew faces up at Susan Boyle in her BGT audition when in reply to a question she said she wanted to be like Elaine Paige. But when Susan started to sing everyone became a believer.😊

@@ritarhine2903 thanks. I actually realized my mistake after I rewatched the video. Good to know there are people like you who simply want to set the record straight.

Yes, and no mention at all, that was a bit rude IMO. I love her voice, ever since seeing her on X Factor. Susan looked frail and she has lost some of her power but she has guts after having a stroke.

OH THAT IS HER! So proud of her from her first showing 😊😊😊

I saw her live when she was Jenna on Waitress tour and omg every solo literal chills and She Used To Be Mine I was a sobbing mess she is so talented

@@AndyUK-Corrivalwhen did Susan have a stroke?

@@maxinejarvis4444 I don't know when exactly but she mentioned it when she spoke after her performance. She described it as a mild stroke.

Remember Jonathan Antoine with Charlotte Jaconelli? And to a lesser extent Paul Potts? You'd think those judges know better than to judge by appearance rather than wait till after the performance. Am glad to see Susan back!

@@henkmarks8856 YOU GOT THAT RIGHT ABOUT THE JUDGES. AND YES, IT IS A MIRACLE TO SEE SUSAN PERFORM. A HUGE MOUNTAIN SHE CLIMBED.

EXACTLY

She is a lovely soul u r right.

Lucie has tremendous power. She did so well to balance w/Susan and gave her such respect.

Amen!!!!😊

I agree about the haunting quality. Her "Wild Horses" almost makes me cry every time I hear it.

Dusty was magic!

Not of this thread,check Glen and Ronan,fields of athenry,the voices are haunting.

Dusty and Susan WOW

Me too. I just knew she was going to appear during that song and I actually shouted "Yes !!" when she did. Had no idea about the stroke....I wish her the best of health and a full recovery.

OMG! I'm only a few seconds into this and I had to stop it as I was getting heart palpitations! Went to the comments and saw yours. Yes I remember Susan singing this 14 years ago! She is a GREAT singer and this is a GREAT song!

Lucie jones. She was elphie in wicked also ❤

@@tayastevensonAnd Jenna in Waitress!

Are you really - seriously - saying that Susan's voice is better than Lucie's. I mean, SERIOUSLY? (It wasn't even better before the stroke. As lovely as it was, the appeal of Boyle was her underdog status. She was never a great singer. She had a lovely voice. That's it.)

Never better said ❤❤❤

Grown indeed... And an amazing voice!

😆 ok

Yes, I felt she was nervous too. But he... she was one of the biggest success of BGT.

She is recovering from a stroke

Her performance was phenomenal! Her determination to recover from a stroke is awe inspiring! God bless her!!!

Beautiful. 🏂
