Susan Boyle Wembley (Video, Photos)

Here is the Susan Boyle Wembley video and photos of the singer’s performance on June 21, 2009 in the BGT tour in London. The singer took a hiatus after stellar performances Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland and returned to the tour at Wembley Arena where she delivered yet another standout performance.

The Susan Boyle Wembley Arena performance was of her two signature songs that have made her famous,‘I Dreamed A Dream’ from the musical Les Miserables and Memory from the musical Cats.

The Scottish singer defies categorization and expectation, and prevails despite sometimes negative media coverage and rampant speculation. She demonstrates that whether or not she honors all BGT tour dates she is resilient in pursuing her music career.

Her unprecedented rise to global fame in such a short time, fueled by the viral video of her original April 2009 BGT audition before skeptical judges Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden and audience and has since become a global star.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Simon Cowell talked about the singer and her rise to fame via Britain’s Got Talent admitting that the situation with the singer had not been handled as well as it could have been, saying: ‘Yet, to be honest, I don’t know that I could have done it any differently.’ He went on to reflect upon her initial audition.

[He] “thought she had come over well, but not sensationally. I certainly didn’t think, ‘here comes a phenomenon who is going to become the most famous woman in the world, I wonder if she can mentally cope with it?’

“I thought she looked a bit eccentric and certainly a character, but that was all.

“Then, several weeks later, after Susan had become a global sensation, we were on a satellite link to the Oprah show together.”
