Susan Boyle: “I Dreamed a Dream” (w Lyrics and updates)

by wildcherry on Monday, April 13th, 2009 | Entertainment, News

Susan Boyle performance has reached 100 million views in just a couple of week! Susan Boyle gives us a chance to reflect that true beauty sometimes lies within us. Susan has a life and appearance that no woman wants to go through. At the age of 47, she’s never been kissed, live alone with her cat, and unemployed.Oh yes, one more thing,  she also has a quite unattractive physical appearance. But one day, her life changes with one song!

Read her story below to truly appreciate her shocking performance in “Britain’s Got Talent“  show.

Watch her full 7 minutes video on the show on Youtube.

Susan Boyle (remember that name) became a Web phenomenon after singing “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables. The performance brought the audience to its feet and left the judges (including Simon Cowell) either speechless or in tears.

Before going on stage, Ms. Boyle admitted some self-deprecating facts about herself (she’s never been kissed and lives alone with her cat, Pebbles). For those reasons and more, audiences were expecting the female William Hung. They were wrong.

Lookups on the sudden star posted huge gains. A no-name just the other day, Ms. Boyle quickly surged into our top 5,000 overall searches. Blogs and gossip rags went wild. The Mirror jumped on the story, reporting that while Ms. Boyle thought she “looked like a garage” on TV, she received a standing ovation when she showed up at her local church.

Other sources write that as a child, Ms. Boyle was the target of bullies because of a disability. But, with her newfound fame, she is getting the last laugh. In fact, she’s already meeting with officials from Mr. Cowell’s Sony BMG label. This may have been the first you’ve heard of her, but it certainly won’t be the last.”

In an interesting touch, the Early Show had Patti LuPone, who originated the performance of “Dream” in Les Miserables, on the phone to offer both emotional and technical praise to Boyle. LuPone talking about how “difficult” the song is to sing, “especially at the end,” referring to its rafter-shaking climax. LuPone congratulated Boyle on her “pluck.” Asked by co-host Harry Smith what LuPone’s compliments meant to her, Boyle said simply, “That’ll do.”

I Dreamed a Dream Lyrics

There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he’ll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I’m living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

For those of you who’s becoming a fan of Susan Boyle, it turns out she previously recorded a song Cry Me A River.

Below is the audio of her song:

    I woul have loved to say that Susan’s voice is beautiful, but I would be lying. cause it’s far beyond beautiful. It can only be describe as the medecine for the soul and the cure for broken all heart.
