Well it has happened!! Just 1 day shy of 12 years & the Susan Boyle audition video has reached 250,000,000 views!! That is a 1/4 Billion!!!
Working out the approximate numbers that is 4379 days with 5707 per day!! Which is approx 240 per hour or 4 every minute FOR 12 YEARS!!!
Even more amazing is there are numerous other videos showing the same audition & they are NOT in the count!!! Also not in the count are the thousands of newspaper & magazine articles that carried the video link too which are NOT in the count!! It is therefore conceivable that the true views number can be a billion or even more!

Numerous comments that run the gamut from great to horrible. As for me, I have NEVER in my life been so mesmerized by a performance as with that audition. To say I have seen it hundreds of times is no exaggeration. I have been in different Susan Boyle forums with thousands who felt the same as I do. As for her singing I have seen numerous reviews from singing coaches to just ordinary people. Many say her pitch is perfect and her voice is pure and crystal clear. I have heard her sing covers that are excellent & some not so good. But that is just personal choice for everybody who judges her songs. I believe her I dreamed a Dream is right up there with other great singers. I believe her Cry Me a River 1999 recording is the BEST of any singer, even Julie London's version. Her cover of Mad World is excellent as is Enjoy the Silence, but I understand why Depeche Mode & Tears for Fear fans scoff at her versions. And my 5th favorite is her live recording with orchestra of You Have To Be There. To this day I get goosebumps to many of her songs.
Today is the 13th anniversary of the Susan Boyle audition on BGT!!!!

OH WOW!!!!! So happy you made it back onto the forum. I had just about given up on you. WELCOME BACK!!!!!! Trennie is rarely here as are many others. Sometimes she is on twitter. Unfortunately it looks like Susan's career is over
