So her talent was no surprise to her neighbors. 'Everyone here knew she could sing,' Jackie Russell, manager of the local pub, told the AP. 'We were always saying, 'You should go in for talent competitions.' What held Boyle back was caring for her aging parents. She entered BGT, after her mother died, because she was approached by talent scouts from the show who asked her to enter." 04-09
