Susan Boyle: An Unlikely Superstar

Award winning filmmaker Osca Humphreys follows the day-to-day life of the woman behind the most extraordinary success story of our time. With remarkable access this film takes a revealing and emotional look at how Susan has been coping with her new life as an international star and asks whether fame and fortune has actually made her happy. The film includes Susan in the studio recording her new album, travelling to Shanghai for a huge stadium performance and a meeting with record company boss Simon Cowell.

Two years since her first appearance on Britain's Got Talent, in which she came second to Diversity, the unlikely singing star has become something Britain can be proud to boast and an international icon. Susan Boyle entered the talent show looking like something that wouldn't really get anywhere, but then she shocked everyone all over the world, achieving extraordinary press for her video on YouTube, and even though she didn't win the competition she instantly got signed to a record label, with the help of Simon Cowell, and the rest writes itself, platinum single with "I Dreamed A Dream" and three UK number one albums. Anyway, this documentary gives us an insight into what her life is like two years on, including still living in her parent's old house, making guest appearances, visiting Cowell, recording tracks, and much more, it was interesting. Good!
