感人演唱   驚艷全場

英國星光大道「Britain's GotTalent」，第一屆紅了Paul Potts，
而今年第三屆，同樣「驚天動地」的另一參賽者終於出現。
一個毫不起眼的肥 大嬸 ～ Susan Boyle，

一個47歲的大嬸，據她所說一生人未試過拍拖，

也未被男人吻過，自小就參加合唱團，

之後最多也只曾在酒廊唱歌。
當她說要唱出舞台劇「悲慘世界」的「I Dreamed a Dream」，
 主持及觀眾們都只有笑和不相信的樣子，
但她以美妙的歌聲唱出三秒鐘後，
已經引來全場的尖叫聲及掌聲，主持人也由冷淡變為驚嘆，
和開始時的態度完全不同...

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
時光荏苒　夢境再次到來
When hope was high and life worth living
當時希望滿懷　生命澎湃
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
在我夢裡　真愛不渝　主愛無限
　　
Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used and wasted
想我當時　年輕無懼　夢想荒唐　恣意浪擲
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
想我當時　錢若輕煙　無歌不唱　無酒不歡
　
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
遠方戰火　低沉如雷　憂心恐懼　如夜掩至
As they tear your hope apart
希望與期待　已被現實撕裂
As they turn your dream to shame
夢想的實踐　如同笑話幻滅
　
And still I dream he'll come to me
然而　我仍企盼情人歸來
That we will live the years together
與我共度　美好餘生
But there are dreams that cannot be
只是　總有美夢　無法成真
And there are storms we cannot weather
總有風暴　無法掌控
　
I had a dream my life would be
夢想生活　應是盡美盡善
So different from this hell I'm living
回到現實　卻如焦土地獄
So different now from what it seemed
差距之大　讓我無法想像
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
我的美夢　已被現實扼殺
