In 2009, Susan Boyle signed up for Britain's Got Talent, the program that seeks to highlight anonymous artistic skills.
As soon as he appeared on the scene, some sly laughter arose.
The reason is that his image did not conform to the prejudicial expected parameters.
But it only took the first stanzas of
Dreamed a dream
-
I dreamed a dream-, from the musical classic Les Miserables
to dazzle the studio audience and across the screen.
He continued to dazzle in his successive appearances and obtained
second place
in that edition of the contest.
Susan Boyle dazzled with her voice on Britain's Got Talent.

The success was resounding and much more marked than for the rest of the winners of reality shows.
He recorded his first album and sold millions of copies.
His videos did not stop being replicated on
YouTube
(until they were the most viewed on the platform in full fury).
The juicy profits arrived.
Also, the purchase of a mansion.
But, also noisily, his shadow stalked her.
The Susan Boyle Story
Susan was born in 1961, in
Blackburn
, an industrial city 34 kilometers from
Manchester
.
The delivery was difficult for her mother and, according to what she was told, Susan was left with
brain damage from lack of oxygen
.
Susan Boyle was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome in 2013.
From that moment on, his destiny seemed to be placated and delimited by that diagnosis.
He had learning difficulties.
But she was also accompanied by her peers' contempt and withdrawal.
From the age of five, he showed his penchant for
singing
, and at twelve, he joined the
choir of the
nearby
church
.
This taste did not surprise the family.
His mom played the piano and dad sang.
Susan Boyle suffered situations of confinement and anguish.

But outside that bubble, hostility awaited her.
Schoolwork was difficult for him and he was
cruelly teased
.
Older, he tried his hand at music and was not recognized.
On the other hand, he was trained as a social worker.
She had been born in middle age from parents, into a family of eight siblings.
Following the law of life, they died.
There Susan felt her loneliness much more.
She remained in her usual simple house, unemployed and with her time devoted to
ad honorem work in a church
.
Susan Boyle has a fortune of 35 million euros.
Already famous,
Susan
recognized that she never had a love.
“If I had had a man, it would have been just platonic.
I've been alone too long to get married, "she said in a note for
The Lady Magazine
.
The contradictions of success
As soon as he savored the peak of fame, his internal turmoil began.

award day
.
He arrived at his hotel and had a severe crisis.
She was treated by doctors and the police.
The conclusion was that he had had a
peak of stress
.
He passed that trance and soon after, he sang for President
Barack Obama
,
Queen Elizabeth
and
Pope Benedict XVI
.
Also, a huge exhibition.
Susan Boyle rose to stardom for a song Les Miserables in a talent show.
In the midst of his fury, he bought a lavish mansion, with an estimated value of
450 thousand euros
.
Soon after, he gave that house to a niece.
She bought the modest house where she lived all her life.
“I don't need mansions.
I like to take the bus and go to the supermarket, ”he told People magazine.
Diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome
His
mental health
continued with ups and downs.
The dark stages did not stop accompanying her.
Susan
, then, decided to find the reason.
Among so many consultations, in 2013 he was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome.
This condition is a
high functioning autism spectrum disorder
- it is said like that because it does not interfere with personal development - and it was recently known that it also accompanies the billionaire Elon Musk.
Far away, perhaps such abrupt fame has not been beneficial to her changing psyche.
On this, the producer
Talkback Thames
said that they had not asked
Boyle for
psychological tests and that they should review their rules.
Susan Boyle even had her own musical.

In 2019, he returned to
America's Got Talent: The Champions
.
Again, he came in second place.
Although it is clear that the podium is for her.
It is said that his fortune reaches 35 million euros.
The version is that his day-to-day life is identical to his unknown stage and that he spends part of his money to help his large family of brothers and nephews.
Because its essence did not change.
