Boyle has also performed in front of the Queen twice — in , Boyle sang at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and then graced the monarch again with her voice in at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, her home country. It took some getting used to," Boyle would later tell People in And while she all smiles before and after her performance that fateful day, there was a sad backstory to her audition.
In , just two years prior, her mother had died aged 91 and the loss was devastating for Boyle, who in was diagnosed with Asperger's — a condition that affects one's ability to socialise and communicate. My mum's still looking after me now, she's still here and she has given me the confidence to do what I do. Boyle was arguably the most popular contestant during Series 3 of Britain's Got Talent. TV personalities Oprah Winfrey and Larry King wanted to interview her and actor Ashton Kutcher shared a clip of her audition with millions of his Twitter followers.
But somehow, Boyle did not go home with the coveted BGT trophy. I was so tired, I tried to do my best but got so completely overwhelmed with the thought of not doing my best, or messing up my performance that I couldn't sleep or relax.
The TV judge and record producer initially scoffed at Boyle when she introduced herself to the crowd ahead of her audition. And he's the first to apologise for judging a book by its cover. You're a champion. Unfortunately, she didn't win that time either but Cowell was nonetheless impressed. I can't think of any other contestant who has defined this show better than if I'm being honest with you," he told her. Susan Boyle's mega-famous now, but that doesn't diminish the fact that she was struggling long before she knocked Piers Morgan's socks off.
By then she'd endured some serious losses. For one, her father passed away in , followed by her sister Kathleen in , according to People magazine.
So the singer is no stranger to grief. But one of Boyle's biggest losses was the death of her mother in , who she both cared for and adored. Compound that with the fact that she was unemployed at her debut as the caption on Britain's Got Talent blatantly broadcast and she was facing some real hardships.
Despite the losses Boyle endured, she still feels the support of her loved ones, especially her mother. In , Susan Boyle dealt with yet another painful passing — her older sister, who was called Birdie by her loved ones, succumbed to cancer , according to The Mirror.
And even though Birdie was 73 at the time of her passing, it was still unexpected. Boyle, who was devastated, said that it was an extremely low point for her. But Boyle continues to remember the impact her sister had on her, including the fact that Birdie kept her humble. No wonder she misses her so much! After that, Boyle took a bit of a break, putting the album she was working on hold so she could take some time to breathe. Back in , Susan Boyle caused a bit of a stir when she had a very public meltdown at Heathrow airport, according to The Telegraph.
That's when officers were dispatched to the scene, responding to reports of a woman in distress. While her outburst was due to her Asperger's syndrome, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise: During that meltdown she left a distressing voicemail for her brother, Gerry, who she hadn't spoken to in over two years.
He frantically called her back, and left a message with her aides, according to The Mirror. Talk about family drama. But there was a happy ending, as Boyle returned the call the next day, and hopped into a taxi to go see him. The pair were then reunited at his home, where she was able to reconnect with him — and eventually meet Gerry's baby grandson.
They say it's never too late to find love, right? That's certainly true for Susan Boyle, who at age 53 entered her first real romantic relationship , according to The Daily Mail. And while she briefly had a boyfriend back in her 20s, that relationship pretty much stopped before it began. Turns out her dad didn't think she was ready for romance, so he ended it.
And while it hurt at the time, Boyle isn't mad about it anymore. Sometimes papa really does know best, huh? Boyle finally got a second chance at romance in , when she became smitten with an American doctor who was "the perfect gentleman," according to The Sun via People.
And while everyone was hopeful for her, it didn't work out in the end, according to The Daily Mail , as Boyle felt "it just wasn't practical. Susan Boyle comes from a large, Roman Catholic family — according to The Guardian , she's the youngest of nine siblings!
Can you imagine what it was like clamoring for the bathroom in the morning before school growing up at their house? Given that, it's not surprising that the rumors are true: she wants to create a family of her own.
Specifically, she wants to adopt. That's because, while she says she can't have children, she has a lot of love to give, and wants to truly give back. That's truly noble of her. And while Boyle faces some obstacles, her intentions are pure. Despite Susan Boyle's impressive wealth, she's not in the market for Maseratis and mansions. Instead, Boyle opted to remain in her family home with her cat, according to Forbes magazine.

In , Boyle did decide to expand her property empire, but not in the way that you might think. Rather, she purchased the property next door, with the intention of combining the two plots together to create her legit dream home, according to The Daily Mail. Our money's on the kitty having the sunniest spot in the house. Susan Boyle handles herself beautifully on stage — remember the way she sassed back at Simon Cowell's eye roll?
