on to sign a 100 million dollar contract with The Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas becoming the second top earning comedian in the world number seven Susan Boyle I honestly think that we were all being very cynical and I think that's the biggest wake-up call ever if there was ever a God Talent contestant who show people that they should never judge a book by its cover it was definitely Susan Boyle when she walked on the stage of Britain's Got Talent the audience had a very strong reaction to her appearance and dismissed her as a joke after she shared her dream of becoming a professional singer as successful as Ellen Page by the time she was done with delivering her heartbreaking rendition of I dreamed a dream no one was laughing anymore all the judges praised her performance and immediately voted yes with Amanda Holden describing her act as the biggest wake-up call ever Boyle won several local singing competitions before appearing on Britain's Got Talent and her mother was the one who encouraged her to give it a try joining this show was a way to honor her legacy and it was the first time Susan's sung in public since her mom passed away she was a clear favorite from the very start but finished the competition in second place that didn't stop her from releasing several chart-topping albums and earning millions of bucks in the years to come number six Robbie hands [Applause] Robbi handsome pressed the X Factor judges with his version of Damien Rice's song but that's not the only thing people remember him by this contestant has been homeless for six years after being put in care as a child he hopes this audition would shake things up because it would provide him with the security he never had the judges were impressed by his musical talent and said yes but felt he lacked confidence and had a low self-esteem Robby surprised everyone by exiting the competition before he got the chance to perform for the second time he even went on record saying he'd rather be homeless than have anything more to do with the x-factor according to hands producers of the show knew he couldn't fork out enough money for a meal or a cheap hostel but refused to help him out fearing they would be accused of favoritism the singer also believes the only reason they let him advance further in the competition was the fact he was homeless at the end of the day x-factor changed his life for the worse he had a hard time finding short time jobs because people would recognize him as a homeless thief from the television number 5 Tim Poe my back and gave me a brain injury so that's where Y stuck stutter a little bit Tim posed another contestant whose life changed for the worse after his impressive audition this country musician appeared on the season 7 of America's Got Talent and shared a heartbreaking story that moved everyone to tears the war veteran claims that he was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade while serving in Afghanistan Poe also said that he developed a brain injury that affected his speech and he started stuttering after he survived the blast he discovered his singing ability after his pathologist suggested he should sing in the shower his wife apparently convinced him to audition for America's Got Talent and the audience loved him before they discovered his sob story was just the story soldiers who spent time with Poe during the war came forward saying he fakes the whole thing and only spent a month in Afghanistan the Minnesota National Guard also discredited his claims even Poe's ex-wife stated he was abusive and unfaithful during their marriage instead of changing his life for the better America's Got Talent audition and it's aftermath exposed him for being a big fat liar number four Sal Valentin Ettie before competing on the season 11 of America's Got Talent Sal Vela tenancy was just an ordinary 20 year old he worked at his cousin's pizza place as a delivery driver but always dreamed about becoming a successful musician
