A 47-year-old woman sings "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserables. Quite reminiscent of the legendary performance of Paul Potts singing "Nessun Dorma."
(via Videosift and Neatorama)Miss Boyle told presenters Ant and Dec that she lived alone with just her cat Pebbles for company. She said: ‘I’ve never had a boyfriend. I’ve never even been kissed.’
She then stomped across the stage and began clumsily gyrating her hips towards the judges, prompting laughter from the audience.
addendum: More backstory, and the Reddit thread.
Additional information on the singer, from Chris Tyrell's blog:
For an additional performance (audio only) see this 1999 recording of "Cry Me A River." (Tip of the hat to Jay McDonough at Swimming Freestyle.I found out some stuff about her: she suffered some brain damage at birth which made learning difficult for her. She was bullied and picked on by other kids as school and escaped into singing. Because her parents worried that she might be taken advantage of , she has always lived at home - still using the same bedroom she had as a child. Her mother died 2 years ago and she entered the Talent show to “make her proud.” She used to work in a canteen, but is now unemployed and does charity work for her church - she’s a devout catholic.
