This is what this show is all about!(click the picture)
See if you don't get a little teary eyed like me
On a narrow street in a council estate, her home on Yule Terrace is a dark brown pebble-dashed end terrace house. A battered green gate attached to a broken brown fence leads up an uneven slabbed path to a chipped white wooden door. It is here that she lives, in a friendly and welcoming community that is clearly proud of what she has achieved. A neighbour across the road from Susan, who didn’t want to be named, said: “She’s got a fantastic singing voice.“Everyone’s heard her, she’s known for it round here. “She’s a very individual character - but lovely.”She also revealed how the children of Blackburn have teased the talent show hopeful for years. It’s terrible really because I now know how kind she is .“The kids round here still target her. They run up, ring her doorbell then run away.“They’re at it all the time.”One of nine siblings, Susan’s devout Catholic family are all well known in the village.The neighbour said: “Her whole family are talented. Most of them can sing, and all of them do something artistic. There’s even a magician in the family.” We try and help her out as much as we can. “She’ll come across and chat if she needs anything. I’ve fixed her hoover a few times and things like that. He revealed that her mother’s death three years ago had a profound effect on her, and that she’s always struggled a little bit.He said: “She’s lived in that house all her life. It used to be all of them in there, then all her brothers and sisters moved away and her Dad died. “In the end it was just her and her mum.When she died Susan took it really badly.“It’s really good that she’s doing so well on this show, it’s been therapeutic for her. I really hope she does well in the competition because she really deserves it and needs it.“
