The Britain’s Got Talent Season 3 finalist performed the song a year after she went viral on the show.
In 2010, Susan Boyle put a unique spin on a classic Christmas carol.
When the Britain’s Got Talent Season 3 finalist appeared on a holiday special in New York City over a decade ago, she performed a breathtaking rendition of “Away in a Manger” that will send chills down your spine.
During the performance, a youth choir sang the introduction lyrics before Boyle jumped in, crooning with some gentle vibrato. The song reached a lovely crescendo as Boyle sang with a steady tone, wrapping things up with a confident note.
Listen to the wonderful performance here.
That wasn’t the only time that Boyle has sung a universally beloved gospel tune. In 2019, she also appeared on BBC’s Song of Praise to sing “Amazing Grace” at the Glasgow Cathedral. Watch the performance here.
And listen to Boyle’s studio version of “Away in a Manger” in the video, below. The song appears on Boyle’s 2010 holiday album The Gift, which reached number one both in the U.K. and U.S. and is certified triple platinum. Other covers featured on the record include “O Holy Night” and “Do You Hear What I Hear?”
