Biography
Susan Boyle, a housewife from Scotland with Asperger's syndrome, became a real phenomenon in 2009, after participating in the television show "Britain's talents" (English Britain's Got Talent). This is a vivid example of why a person should not be judged by appearance, because Susan's vocal performance can bring the listeners to tears. Now she is one of the best selling singers of Great Britain, a national favorite.Childhood and youth
Susan Magdalein Boyle was born on April 1, 1961 in Blackburn, the small town of Scotland. She was brought up with four brothers and five sisters, but never enjoyed their popularity. Guys, first, were older, secondly, they were shy to the stupidity and oddities of their youngest relatives.
The girl was seriously given a school program. Concerned parents appealed for medical care. It turned out that Bridget Boyle, by that time a 45-year-old woman, heavily suffered childbirth, and for a few minutes her newborn baby remained without oxygen. This led to damage to the brain and, as a result, difficulties with learningability.
Only in 2012, Susan found out the truth about his health. In fact, from early childhood, she suffered asperger syndrome is a high-functional form of autism. In an interview with The Guardian singer said:
"I was told that my brain was damaged, but I knew that this diagnosis was wrong. Now there is a clearer explanation that with me is wrong, and I finally feel relief. "As a rule, the diagnosis of "autism" is associated with speech defects and disorder of behavior. But the boiler is clearly explicitly, only sometimes flows into depression and aggression. Her IQ is above average, according to Scotland's doctors, but it is not so fast and does not fully perceive the information.
This has become a reason for school bullying. Peers teased her low-spirited suzy, laughed cruelly, sometimes allowed physical pressing. But now Boyle recalls childhood philosophically. He says that it was they who helped her become strong and to achieve success.
"The one who was not offended would never fight," she said in an interview once.Personal life
The feature of Susan Boyle imposed a print and for a personal life. In 2012, she was asked if she tried to find a couple over the Internet, and the singer just missed:"Knowing your luck, I will go on a date, and then you will look for my part of the body on Blackburn garbage tanks."In November 2014, in 53, the Susan had first relations. The Sun newspaper told about it. The singer abstained from the extensive comments. She told the rapid media:
"We are about the same age, and he is a very good man."It is also known that the mysterious beloved Boyle is a doctor. They met during the US tour in support of Hope album (2014).
Music
Take the lessons of Vocal Susan began in his youth - from 12 years. She won the local competitions, and in 1998 he released several Caver Singles: Cry Me A River, Killing Me Softly and Don't Cry for Me Argentina. Later, when the star ranked his place in the sky, many began to remember her early songs. Amber McNight wrote in Reviews in West Lothian Herald & Post, that the performance of Cry Me A River from Boyle was so seeing that he wanted to listen again and again.
One of the key people in the biography of the singer was Fred O'Neill, her vocal teacher. It was he who convinced the ward to perform at the competition "Britain is looking for talents." Previously, Susan abandoned listening to The X Factor, because he thought that people were chosen in appearance. And again I would make the same mistake if I do not have Fred O'Neal.
He influenced the situation and death Bridget Boyle in 2007 at the age of 91. She always supported her daughter, hesitated her talent and believed in success.
"I promised my mother that I will do something with my life. She always supported me spiritually and, apparently, agreed on me with someone at the top. I do not see any other reasons for so mad popularity, "said Susan.In August 2008, the Boyle filed an application for listening to the 3rd season of the project "Britain is looking for talents" (in Russia its analogue is called "Minute of Glory"). In the television interview, she admitted that he had always dreamed of playing a large audience, and in the work equal to Elaine Page.
"I will bring the public to ovations!" - promised singer.So it happened. From a nonderable woman, the jury "Britain is looking for talents" did not expect a powerful voice. But the excellent version of I DREAMED A DREAM from the musical "Much" made them and the entire visual hall to break on the ovation and jump on his feet.
Susan Boyle did not expect such a bright reaction to his first performance. Elaine Page expressed a desire to sing with his fan of duet (later it happened). She called the participant of the show "An example for imitation for everyone who has a dream." Caver-version Boyle on I Dreamed A Dream caused a sales splash to the musical "Molded".
Successfully passed the qualifying round, Susan reached the final and ranked 2nd, losing the DVERSITY dance team.
"Britain is looking for talents" provided serious pressure on the mental well-being of the boiler. The day after the final, she was hospitalized in a psychiatric clinic.
"The last 7 weeks literally killed Susan, but now she is ready to move on," commented on her loved ones.Despite health problems, the actress performed on 20 of 24 concerts with the best participants of the show.
The popularity of Susan Boyle did not fade after the project "Britain looking for talents", as it would be possible to expect, but, on the contrary, broke out. Her debut album I DREAMED A DREAM (2009) became the best selling "Solnik" in the UK for all time. She broke the record Leona Lewis with the result of more than 411 thousand copies. Now in the top of Adel.
In the US, I Dreamed A Dream was also successful. He headed the Billboard 6 weeks, and in popularity overtook Fearless Taylor Swift.
Subsequent albums in discography Susan Boyle reached about the same indicators. Each of them is distinguished by heartfelt classical music and author's songs.
"She does not want to sing about what has never come across or something does not understand," said the producer Steve Mac.Therefore, the material passes the rigid censorship of the singer.
