Susan Boyle - "I Dreamed a Dream"

Roughly about three years ago, the now famous Susan Boyle auditioned for 'Britain's Got Talent' and blew the world away.



The video has a 'diamond in the rough' theme, and is a triumph in a music industry that has become very superficial in recent decades.

Simon Cowell, the judge that everyone loves to hate, gives his usual harsh judgment when Susan walks on stage. We even see a girl in the audience at 0:45 roll her eyes at the sight of her..

When she belted out the firsts lines to Les Miserables' 'I Dreamed a Dream' it brought tears to our eyes seeing everyone's jaws drop; especially the usually cynical Simon Cowell.

Singing one of the most emotional songs in musical theatre, the dramatic turn of events feels like something out of a Hollywood film.

Although this aired on British television, without the help of Youtube and the internet, Susan's fame probably would have died off after a week. She now has record deals and has released three studio albums.

The video has collectively gained about 140 million views worldwide.
