內(nèi)容概要
In April 2009, a modest middle-aged woman from a village in
Scotland was catapulted to global fame when the YouTube video of
her audition for Britain's Got Talent touched the hearts of
millions all over the world. From singing karaoke in local pubs to
live performance with an eighty-piece orchestra in Japan's
legendary Budokan arena and a record-breaking debut album, Susan
Boyle has become an international superstar. This astonishing
transformation has not always been easy for Susan, faced with all
the trappings of celebrity, but in the whirlwind of attention and
expectation, she has always found calm and clarity in music. Susan
was born to sing. Now, for the first time, Susan tells the story of
her life and the challenges she has struggled to overcome with
faith, fortitude and an unfailing sense of humour. 'When I strutted
onto the stage for that audition, I was a scared wee lassie, still
grieving for my mother, not caring how I looked. I think I've grown
up a lot in the last year, become more of a lady, and I'm not so
frightened anymore. I'm telling my story to try and show that you
shouldn't judge a book by its cover, that you shouldn't just look
at the label - you must look at the whole person, emotionally,
physically, mentally and spiritually. I hope that it will show that
dreams are not impossible, if you've got courage and a willingness
to go on no matter what the circumstances.'
