YouTube Sensation Susan Boyle Crosses the Pond, and the Media

Already a hit on YouTube, “Britain’s Got Talent” contestant Susan Boyle made her American television debut this morning on CBS’ The Early Show. She talked with anchors Harry Smith and Maggie Rodriguez and sang a bit of “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables – a performance that instantly turned her from reality show laughing stock to singing sensation. That performance, first seen Saturday night on Britain’s ITV, was uploaded to YouTube almost immediately.
