Sir Winston Churchill said it best: “Never, never, never quit.” Ms. Boyle has that quality. Maybe its British?

This is such a great story! Ms Boyle had a rough childhood as she was oxygen-deprived at birth and a very slow learner, so other kids made her life miserable in school. She was one of nine children and took care of both of her parents until their deaths. She’s been so depressed ever since her mother’s death she hasn’t even been singing in church. But, her mother always told her she should go on Britain’s Got Talent so she screwed up her courage and took the chance. Simon signed her to his own record label immediately! What a refreshing change from all the Pop-tarts!

Good post. I just heard about this lady a couple of days ago and hadn’t had the opportunity, until now, to see the clip. Thanks for posting it here; the moral to the story is…there’s just too many from which to choose.

Thanks, I needed that. Some of the 100,000 thousand comments on there mention the obvious that there were expectations from her age and even her looks and no one expected such a voice and performance. We need to remember that it’s not a matter of age to pursue something you want or something you want to do.
