The youngest of nine children, Boyle grew up in Blackburn, a community of 4,750 people located 32km west of Edinburgh, in Scotland — a district blighted by unemployment and crime.
As an adult, she’s struggled for work but had been a regular on her local karaoke circuit and performed in church choirs.
Sara Lee, a spokeswoman for Britain’s Got Talent said that Boyle’s performance will be available almost instantly on Internet, allowing her international fans a chance to watch the singer’s latest appearance.
