2009 was the year Susan Boyle streaked like a comet across our skies.
2009 was the year Susan Boyle streaked like a comet across our skies.

We all have our Susan Boyle favorite moments from 2009, the year she streaked like a comet across our skies. Love to hear from you about yours. Here are mine:

1. The very first time… when she appeared on Britain’s Got Talent and the amazed reactions of everyone when she began to sing.

2. Her appearance at Rockefeller Center when her album debuted and she went to join her fans afterwards at the nearby restaurant. Her adoring fans could not get enough.

3. Hearing her sing “Wild Horses” for the first time, a song I would never have thought she should have chosen and realizing she really has an incredible voice.

4. Her first interview with Meredith Viera on NBC, where this cheeky, funny and very capable lady put a lie to all the tabloid tattle.

5. When the word came that she had smashed all British and American records for a new release.

6. When she was named Woman of the Year by Matt Lauer on NBC.

7. When she refused to respond to jibes by former "friends" Amanda Holden and Sharon Osbourne.

8. When I went on a New Zealand radio station discussing Susan and suddenly realized the world wide impact she had.

9. Listening to “How Great Thou Art” first time I got the record.

10. Reading the dumbfounded response of the British tabloids as Susan’s fame and support worldwide became apparent, after they had written her off as a one-night-wonder.

With all her well earned and deserved accolades since, I nevertheless go back to those moments when she was scoffed at on the stage of Britian's Got Talent at her Audition. By a numb public and less than supportive panel of Judges who rolled their eyes on being informed that she was forty seven and if she had any "Who would you like to be as successful as?" (Simon Cowell) replied with another round of dismissal from the audience "Elaine Page" When those opening notes demolished all of them I got goosebumps and wept eyes wide open. I'm a guy. She blew me away. I wept and that's that.

Two brief moments: 1)When Matt Lauer shows Susan her name on a lighted marquee and she breaks into this great, hearty laugh; and 2) When she is visiting LA for the second time. She is pushing her own luggage cart up the airport ramp and stops to come over and shake hands with fans lined up at the railing. Someone says, "Susan, you should have won," and she replies, "I've already won with you." Lovely lady.

1. Susan's knowing smile as she started to sing. 2. Susan's victory jig when she got 3 yeses. Even Simon gave a genuine laugh. 3. Susan's valiant performance in the BGT final, under immense pressure. I think this is when Simon decided she was a winner. He said whoever won, he adored her! 4. Susan arriving at LA airport with all the attention from fans and press of a mega star. 5. America's Got Talent. Superb performance. 6.Singing with Donny. She was so happy and excited. What a gentleman he is. 7. Singing at Dancing with the stars. She was up with the top singers. 8. New York, warm up, holding the audience in the palm of her hand, then singing live to how many million people? 9. Receiving the quilt and embracing Hugh. Sweet, humble, lovable, vulnerable Susan. 10. Duet with Elaine Paige, London.

Her First album went Triple Platimun what are they going to call it when I Dreamed A Dream goes four times platimum. Will it be Quatro or Quatra Platimum. This will be the first one ever and I can't wait to see it. SUSAN BOYLE THE QUEEN OF MUSIC

I have two. Her audition and the reactions when she began to sing and also on the Susan Boyle Story, when she broke down and cried as Piers presented her with the Platinum record. I have watched the audition so many times and everytime they put the Susan Boyle Story on the TVGuide network, I watch it. She is totally amazing. Best Holiday Wishes from Philly USA
