<P> In 1998, Boyle recorded three tracks--"Cry Me A River", "Killing Me Softly", and "Don't Cry for Me Argentina"--at Heartbeat Studio, Midlothian . She used all her savings to pay for a professionally cut demo, copies of which she later sent to record companies, radio talent competitions, local and national TV . The demo consisted of her versions of "Cry Me a River" and "Killing Me Softly with His Song"; the songs were uploaded to the Internet after her BGT audition . </P> <P> After Boyle won several local singing competitions, her mother urged her to enter Britain's Got Talent and take the risk of singing in front of an audience larger than her parish church . Former coach O'Neil said Boyle abandoned an audition for The X Factor because she believed people were being chosen for their looks . She almost abandoned her plan to enter Britain's Got Talent believing she was too old, but O'Neil persuaded her to audition nevertheless . Boyle said that she was motivated to seek a musical career to pay tribute to her mother . Her performance on the show was the first time she had sung in public since her mother died . </P> <P> 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 Britain's Got Talent at the city's Clyde Auditorium, she said that she aspired to become a professional singer "as successful as Elaine Paige". Boyle sang "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Misérables in the first round, which was watched by over 10 million viewers when it aired on 11 April 2009 . Programme judge Amanda Holden remarked upon the audience's initially cynical attitude, and the subsequent "biggest wake - up call ever" upon hearing her performance . </P> <P> Susan Boyle, The Sunday Times </P>
