The Daily Record has obtained another exclusive video of Britain's Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle singing. This clip finds Susan auditioning for Barrymores My Kind of People talent show in 1995.

The Daily Record reports that her rendition of I Dont Know How To Love Him was caught on camcorder by 18-year-old Julie Febers, whose mother Elizabeth MacLean, was also auditioning.

But as Susan begins to sing, Barrymore starts acting the fool and rolls about on the floor trying to get a glimpse up her skirt. Unfazed, Boyle gamely continues and attempts to kick the UK comic with her black patent stilettos.

Susan Boyle has won international stardom and world-wide affection for her 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." She revealed her dreams of being a singer and wished to follow the recording path of beloved British musical theater star Elaine Paige. 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!
