Background

edit

In August 2008, Boyle applied for an audition for the third series of Britain's Got Talent (as contestant number 43212) and was accepted after a preliminary audition in Glasgow. When Boyle first appeared on the show at the city's Clyde Auditorium, she said that she aspired to become a professional singer "as successful as Elaine Paige".[8] Upon this statement, most of the audience began to laugh. Boyle sang "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Misérables in the first round of the third series of Britain's Got Talent, which was watched by over 10 million viewers when it aired on 11 April 2009.[9] Programme judge Amanda Holden remarked upon the audience's initially cynical attitude, and the subsequent "biggest wake-up call ever" upon hearing her performance.[10] Soon, the audition was widely reported and tens of millions of people viewed the video on YouTube.[9] Boyle was "absolutely gobsmacked" by the strength of this reaction.[11] After the appearance, Paige expressed interest in singing a duet with Boyle,[8] calling her "a role model for everyone who has a dream".[12]

Despite being the clear favourite to win the final,[13] she ended up in second place to Diversity; the UK TV audience was a record of 17.3 million viewers.[14] However, Boyle was quickly signed to Simon Cowell's record label and began the production of the album soon after the show.[15] Cowell compiled a list of around 150 songs that had in part been accumulated from "various A&R guys" who sent them to him.[16] He then whittled these down to 50 and presented the list to producer Steve Mac, so that he could try out the songs with Boyle to see which worked for her and which she wanted to record.[16] They then recorded 20 songs for the album, with 12 eventually making the final cut.[16] In an interview with HitQuarters, Mac talked about working with the singer:

"Susan had a big say in what she wanted to record. She’s an extraordinary artist – she’s an old school artist in that she can only sing what she feels in her heart. She’s not one of those singers that can make anything sound good, it’s only if she feels the passion of it and understands the lyric. It’s been a long time since I’ve worked with an artist that could do that."[16]

Composition

edit

The album opens with a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses" (1971), which Boyle described as "[o]ne of my personal favourites and an emotional release." She further stated that its "haunting theme" conjures up memories of her childhood amongst council estates, poverty and struggle in the first verse.[17] Her version of the popular American torch song "Cry Me a River" had been previously recorded in 1999 for a charity CD.[18] She also covered "You'll See" (1995), written and originally recorded by pop singer Madonna. Boyle stated that the cover of the song is her answer to the teachers who beat her regularly and the classmates who were aggressive and bullied her when she was growing up. "That was a statement I was trying to make, because I was bullied a lot at school: 'You may have done that to me when I was younger, but you can’t do it to me any more. I’m grown up now," she said.[19] Boyle had been a volunteer at Our Lady of Lourdes church in Blackburn, West Lothian, and recorded some religious songs, including "Amazing Grace" and "How Great Thou Art", a Christian hymn based on a Swedish poem written by Carl Gustav Boberg in Sweden in 1885.[20] The only original composition of the album is "Who I Was Born to Be", written by Audra Mae, Mark Linn-Baker, Johan Fransson, Tobias Lundgren, and Tim Larsson.[21]
