Susan Boyle's stirring rendition of the Les Misèrables ballad I Dreamed A Dream has been watched more than 100 million times on YouTube and other websites, setting it up to become the most viewed internet clip ever. 

Sources told the UK Telegraph last week that Simon Cowell is now fighting off offers from Hollywood, with reports that he is eager to produce a film of her life himself.

Cowell reportedly wants to handle any movie deals through his own Production Company Syco. A source close to Cowell revealed "He is amazed as anyone about how Boyle-mania has gripped the world". To read the full Telegraph article click here.

The unassuming 47 year old Susan Boyle wowed the judges with her performance in the auditions for the latest season of Britains Got Talent, singing "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 like the 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!

The Britains Got Talent's first season was won by a cell phone salesman who sang opera songs, Paul Potts. Potts was also physically unassuming at first blush on the show. It appears Susan Boyle has struck a very similar cord at the start of this season as well. To watch the performance, click here.
