Britain's Got Talent contestant Susan Boyle continues to charm the world. Boyle made the talk show rounds last week and appeared on MSNBC discussing her sudden fame and her inspiring performance. She even sang a bit for the cameras!

Susan Boyle has chosen the title song from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Whistle Down the Wind for her next performance on the program. Boyle gave MSNBCs Monica Novotny a small preview of the soaring number from the Lloyd Webber musical, which we bring you right here on Stage Tube!

Boyle has won international stardom and world-wide affection for her earlier stunning performance of "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserables. 

Boyle, an unemployed woman who's "nearly 48," talked about her cat, and joked around with the judges, noting that she had "never been kissed." The entire audience prepared for the worst as she began her song, but, once she starting singing the crowd and judges were transported by her emotional and theatrical take on the number!

Whistle Down the Wind has been described by some as Andrew Lloyd Webber's best musical since The Phantom of the Opera. Based on the much loved film -- which made stars out of Haley Mills and Alan Bates -- Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jim Steinman's show is an extraordinary and uplifting tale about the transforming power of love, proving that goodness can be found in the strangest of places.

After a successful two-year run at the Aldwych Theatre in London, theatre producer/director Bill Kenwright launched the UK Tour of Whistle Down the Wind in 2001 after further developing the book and restructuring the show. Kenwright's version premiered at the Palace Theatre followed by a four-year tour.

Britain's Got Talent press notes describe the show's concept as follows, "a nationwide talent contest where the winner gets to perform their act for Prince Charles at the prestigious Royal Variety Show, pick up a cheque for £100,000, and catapult themselves towards superstardom.
