There was the\u00a0time she performed for\u00a0Pope Francis at the Vatican in 2019. Or when\u00a0she sang for the late Queen Elizabeth II at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Believe it or not, these instances weren\u2019t even her first brushes with world leaders. In fact, four years before belting her heart out for Queen Elizabeth II, she did the same for King Charles (then Prince of Wales) and Queen Camilla (then Duchess of Cornwall).<\/p>\n<p>Boyle was a featured artist in the annual Royal Variety Performance in 2010. For the occasion, she sang Lou Reed\u2019s \u201cPerfect Day\u201d\u2014something she\u2019s mastered before, but this rendition was particularly special. Backed by a children\u2019s choir, Boyle epitomized grace and divinity with each crystal-clear note. Of course, the performance was met with a rapturous applause from the audience, including King Charles and Queen Camilla.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the performance here.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"PidnA5yV\"><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CgO5P0HoAgk?si=vRsjjKrczmv53d0S\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"560\" data-origheight=\"315\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Susan Boyle: 15 years of music superstardom<\/h2>\n<div class=\"embedded-entity image\" data-embed-button=\"media\" data-entity-embed-display=\"view_mode:media.embed\" data-entity-embed-display-settings=\"[]\" data-entity-type=\"media\" data-entity-uuid=\"331ec6e9-9794-4889-b737-7cf075244599\" data-langcode=\"en\">\n<div class=\"media__image\">\n<div class=\"media__image-wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nbc.com\/sites\/nbcblog\/files\/styles\/scale_862\/public\/2024\/07\/susan-boyle2.jpg\" alt=\"Susan Boyle performs during Season 1 Episode 1 of America's Got Talent: The Champions\" width=\"862\" height=\"575\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"media__metadata\">\n<div class=\"media__metadata-wrapper\"><span class=\"media__caption\">Susan Boyle performs during Season 1 Episode 1 of America\u2019s Got Talent: The Champions.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"media__credit\">Photo: Trae Patton\/NBC<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s been 15 years since Susan Boyle\u2019s viral\u00a0<em>Britain\u2019s Got Talent Audition,<\/em>\u00a0where\u00a0she sang \u201cI Dreamed a Dream\u201d from\u00a0<em>Les Mis\u00e9rables\u00a0<\/em>and completely stunned the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll never forget this,\u201d\u00a0<em>BGT<\/em>\u00a0creator\u00a0Simon Cowell\u00a0(who also was a Judge during Boyle\u2019s Audition)\u00a0said. \u201cI was having a terrible, terrible day, and I remember saying, \u2018I really, really hope she\u2019s not gonna sing,\u2019 because there were so many bad singers that day and I thought, \u2018I just can\u2019t take another one.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur expectations were quite low, but she is the perfect example of never judge a book by its cover,\u201d Cowell continued.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cShe is just the most incredible person.
