Singing sensation Susan Boyle auditioned for a TV show with Michael Barrymore 14 years ago but was rejected by producers – and all she got was a kiss from Barrymore.The Britain’s Got Talent favourite was just 33 at the time and struggled to perform as the comedian made fun of her on 90s show My Kind of People.
But unfazed by his jokes, she sang on and even tried to kick him after he tried to get a look up her skirt.
The amazing scenes were never televised – but they were filmed on a camcorder by Julie Febers whose mum Elizabeth MacLean, 52, was also auditioning.
Elizabeth said:...
...“Susan was a few people in front of me. When she began to sing, I knew she had a great voice but Michael Barrymore was taking the mickey out of her.
“This was mine and Susan’s second audition for My Kind of People. When I saw her on Britain’s Got Talent, I couldn't believe it was the same Susan from the My Kind of People auditions. I was gobsmacked and I had my hand up to my mouth.”
The video of Susan, 48, was shot in front of a big audience at the Olympia Shopping Centre in East Kilbride in 1995.
Dressed in a pink jacket and her long dark curly hair pinned back, she sang I Don’t Know How To Love Him from musical Jesus Christ Superstar – but her incredible voice would not be recognised until years later.
Gran Elizabeth, of Pollokshaw, Glasgow, added: “I am a pub and club singer and I have entered other talent contests but I have not got a jealous bone in my body. I’m absolutely delighted for Susan. She is a very sincere and down-to-earth person and after all this time it looks like she’s finally going to make it.”
Since her debut appearance on the ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent, Susan, of Blackburn, West Lothian, has won fans as far as the US. Last week she was given a dramatic makeover and her grey hair has been cut and dyed auburn.
