Susan Boyle got one more dream realized today as she sang for Pope Benedict XVI and helped him mark the end of his open air mass in Glasgow, Scotland. The 49-year-old Scottish singing sensation bewildered the crowd with flawless rendition of her signature I Dreamed a Dream followed by a couple of hymns.
People reports,
The committed Catholic’s rendition of the hymn, Make Me a Channel of Your Peace, was heard across the a park in Glasgow as Pope Benedict XVI was saying his farewells to church leaders following mass. Around 65,000 people had attended the ceremony in Bellahouston Park where, about three hours earlier, Boyle, 49, was met with waving white and pale yellow Papal flags and enthusiastic applause as she helped herald his visit. Dressed in an elegant long black coat and black heels, her flawless rendition of her signature I Dreamed a Dream and hymn How Great Thou Art brought the crowd to their feet and inspired many to sing along with her.
I’m so happy for Susan Boyle. She has shown the world that a dream is never destined to remain a dream forever. If you have it in you, then there’s no power that can prevent you from realizing your dreams. Hats off to you, Susan!
