LONDON — A middle-aged volunteer church worker with the voice of an angel is Britain’s latest unlikely show-biz star. Susan Boyle, 47, wowed judges and audience alike when she performed on the television contest “Britain’s Got Talent.” By Tuesday, a video clip of Boyle’s performance on YouTube had been watched more than 2.7 million times.
The unemployed Scot who said she had “never been kissed” drew titters when she told the judges that her ambition was to be a professional singer. But her soaring rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” from the musical “Les Miserables” astonished the show’s hard-to-please judges. British bookmakers made Boyle the early favorite to win the series.
