Susan Boyle recorded this charity recording of 'Cry Me A River' back in 1999. The UK Daily Record has uncovered the only CD ever made by Scotlands singing sensation Susan Boyle.

Only 1000 copies of the disc were ever produced, but the Daily Record got hold of the long-forgotten recording. A showbiz insider remarked, "This is a real coup for the Record. The whole world would have wanted to find this". To read the full article on the Daily Record website click here.

The unassuming 47 year old Susan Boyle wowed the judges with her performance in the auditions for the latest season of Britains Got Talent, singing "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserables.

Her stunning performance even touched 'Les Miz' impresario Cameron Mackintosh. The musical theatre legend remarked in a statement that, "Just like the judges and audience I was gob-smacked by the emotional powerhouse performance of Susan Boyle's show stopping rendition of 'I Dreamed a Dream.' Vocally it is one of the best versions of the song I've ever heard. Touching, thrilling and uplifting".

Boyle, an unemployed woman who's "nearly 48," talked about her cat, and joked around with the judges, noting that she had "never been kissed." She revealed her dreams of being a singer and compared herself to beloved British musical theater star Elaine Paige.

The entire audience prepared for the worst as she began her song, but, once she starting singing the crowd and judges were transported by her emotional and theatrical take on the number!
