Boyle ovation at Glasgow show | |
(about 5 hours later) | |
Susan Boyle received a standing ovation when she sang at the Britain's Got Talent tour in Glasgow, a day after cancelling two concerts. | |
Her publicist said the singer received a "rapturous" reception from the audience at the city's SECC venue. | |
The singer from West Lothian had been advised to rest rather than perform at two shows in Manchester on Sunday. | |
Boyle had previously been treated for exhaustion after coming second in the ITV1 talent show. | |
Publicist Nicola Phillips said the crowd in Glasgow broke into applause halfway through her performance of Memory, from the musical Cats. | |
She also sang I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables, the song that propelled her to international fame. | |
Boyle had performed both songs in Birmingham on Friday and sang during matinee and evening shows in Sheffield on Saturday. | |
But in the later concerts she appeared to stumble over the words to Memory and received a mixed reaction from the audience. | |
