Susan Boyle may have risen to fame on Britain's Got Talent, but her recent appearance on the American version of the show has got everyone talking.

She performed her cover of Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones on America's Got Talent: The Champions on Monday night.

Boyle received the show's highest accolade when judge Mel B pressed her golden buzzer to put the singer straight through to the finals.

The Spice Girls star described Boyle's voice as "angelic".

"What an absolute honour and pleasure it is to be sitting here and listening to you and your angelic voice," she said.

"And I want to be the woman who gives you something you deserve," she added, before pressing the buzzer.

Boyle, 57, came second on Simon Cowell's Britain's Got Talent in 2009, behind winning dance group Diversity.

Her first audition, a rendition of I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables, famously stunned the audience and judges alike.

Since the show, the West Lothian singer has sold more than 20 million albums and had two Grammy nominations.

America's Got Talent: The Champions brings back famous contestants from both the UK and US versions of the show over the past few years.

It marked something of a comeback for Boyle, whose last album, A Wonderful World, was released in 2016.

British teenager Courtney Hadwin, who was a recent America's Got Talent finalist, is also set to make an appearance, as are BGT winners Lost Voice Guy and Paul Potts.

Before Boyle's performance, viewers were shown original content from her first audition and life before BGT.

As she took to the stage, Cowell joked, "What's your name?", before adding, "God, this brings back so many memories."

Boyle replied: "It's great to be back." She then got a standing ovation from the audience for her performance.

Cowell told her afterwards: "I cannot think of any other contestant who has defined this show better than you. You are the one.

"You made a huge difference to a lot of people's lives and I am absolutely thrilled you are here."

你只看见她的光辉却不知她的辛酸

也许很多人会觉得说，每一个明星都星光熠熠，仿佛身上自带光环，就像是天之骄子。

但事实上：

苏珊在地方教堂从事慈善工作，12岁开始唱歌，一直梦想成为伊莲·佩姬(Elaine Paige)一样的职业歌唱家。刚开始，苏珊·波伊尔一走上台，根本没人想听她唱歌，从头土到脚不说，台下观众还一副想看她笑话的表情，就别提超尖酸刻薄的评审西蒙·考威尔，不停问话嘲讽她想让她出糗，甚至表明她住的乡下地方，连听都没听过。

但是，当苏珊才开口唱出音乐剧《悲惨世界》(Les Miserables)中的歌曲《我曾有梦》的第一句时，评委露出吃惊的表情，睁大了眼晴，张开了嘴巴。全场只能用欢声雷动、从头尖叫鼓掌到尾来形容，许多电视机前面的妇女同胞们，还不断打电话进电视台，说自己边看边哭，被苏珊的歌声所感染，其中也包括好莱坞大明星黛咪·摩尔。

苏珊·波伊尔1961年4月1日生于苏格兰西罗锡安的布莱克伯恩(Blackburn，west lothian)。父亲帕特里克·博伊尔是参加过二战的老兵，矿工，母亲是速记员，父母都是爱尔兰移民。帕特里克·博伊尔共有四个儿子，六个女儿，苏珊是子女中最小的。

她母亲生她时，已是47岁，属高龄产妇。在分娩时，因发生难产，苏珊一度短暂缺氧。之后被诊断有学习障碍。儿时在学校里，她被同龄人欺负嘲弄，有个外号是"傻苏西"(susie simple)。毕业后，苏珊在西罗锡安大学(West Lothian College)的厨房做过六个月厨师学徒，并参加了政府的为残疾人准备的训练科目。在此期间，她经常聆听剧院的专业歌唱家的演唱，并自习了歌唱。不久苏珊师从声音教练弗里德·奥尼尔(Fred O'Neil)学习歌唱，并在爱丁堡表演学校(Edinburgh Acting School )学习。

这个世界上“幸运儿”很多，努力的人也很多

如今2019年，10年过去了，苏珊大妈重返舞台的时候，得到的是更多的掌声与肯定。一路走来实属不易，由嘲笑到赞赏，很多人可能会说简直就是到了人生巅峰。

像迈克尔杰克逊，舞王。也是人世间的一代传奇，虽然人不在了但是歌曲却是永流传的，每一个不简单的灵魂，被装到普通的身体里，用这份不简单的能量去与世界产生碰撞，擦出人世间最动听的火花。
