“I Dreamed a Dream” has always been a favorite since I first saw a television special of its play. It sang of hope during a war in France in the classic story Les Miserables and, at present, is the title of Susan Boyle’s debut single.
Yup the cat lady is back. After her runner-up scene in Britain’s Got Talent, Susan Boyle hits the airwave with her debut album. It can be very well remembered that I dreamed a dream was the song Susan sang for the competition—the first, matter of fact, that left the place in shock. She had received critic after critic being told that she was too old and was not attractive. She was weird in a way especially with her answers that she had lived her cats and she had never been kissed before.
When she sang the Les Miserables I dreamed a dream it can find a person left in awe so great with her voice being so fitting with the song itself—theatrical and dramatic. Only a few has been able to give such gusto to performance with only the song and the voice at hand—some don’t even bring out the emotions needed even with voices so great. The only person I really admired to have sung Les Miserables songs is Lea Salonga, a Filipina who received global recognition with her part as Kim in Miss Saigon.
Public records search in the album’s first release shows Susan’s album scoring high, and I do mean high, as it ranked first in the in the Billboards Hit Charts. It even defeated another reality show star, American Idol’s Adam Lambert, whose record (and also a debut album) entitled For your entertainment, scored doubled compared to the Idol winner, Kris Allen’s self debut single.
For the said American Idol graduates, I must admit that I do sure was hoping to find Falling Slowly, the theme from the indie film Once, in the track. It surely did mark him on my list of Idols during the competition that until now him singing the song really rolls in my head. For Adam Lambert, the album is a daring feat for the glam rock—plus his high vocals as it already showed it’s prowess with 2012’s Time for Miracles.

Background check on the reality show stars: they really hit it big with their debut albums. Adam Lambert’s however was beaten up by the Brit’s Susan. But whichever the case, theirs is a glory that finally came and Susan, at present, (after the news of her breakdowns and everything silly) is the winner.
