This is no April Fool's joke, today is Susan Boyle's birthday! No, we're not kidding. Really and truly, today is the day of birth for the shy singer who rose from complete obscurity, tucked away in her house in Scotland, to the winner of Britain's Got Talent in 2009. When video of SuBo singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables hit YouTube, she was catapulted to fame seemingly over night, with her clip hitting millions of views in a matter of days.
