came up, and I'm thinking, "This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea." That changed when
she began to sing I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables. She knew we were going to have that reaction
and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face midway through-it was one of my favorite moments,"
Cowell said.
The performance was posted On line and before long, the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous
all over the world.
