     When we talk about stars, especially women stars, it seems that they are always young, pretty and own
charming body shapes. But recently a Britain's Got Talent (英國達(dá)人) star Susan Boyle has changed our
views absolutely.
     Simon Cowell, one of the judges of the talent show spoke of his shock over Ms Boyle's voice. "This lady
camp 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 to Dream from Les Miserables. She knew we were going to have that
reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face.  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.
     Speaking from her home in Scotland, Ms Boyle said that she hasn't thought of changing her appearance.
She said that her friend helped her with make-up. "I mean, that's hardly a makeover," she added. Ms Boyle
