Christmas Day is not the only day to experience the magic of the holiday season. Listening to Susan Boyle’s amazing performance of “In the Bleak Midwinter” from her fifth album, Home for Christmas, is all it takes to get into the holiday spirit.
Voters chose the song as one of the UK’s Top Ten Christmas songs, and it has long been loved for its beautiful melody and poignant lyrics. But Boyle adopts it and makes it distinctively her own. Boyle’s voice shines with a depth of emotion that truly brings the hymn to life when she delivers it live at London’s renowned Royal Albert Hall.
Boyle’s career took off after her widely shared Britain’s Got Talent audition in 2009, and she has continued to amaze people with her incredible vocal range and emotional connection to each song she sings. Boyle delivers each note with grace and vigor, and his distinctive, resonant tones echo across the hall. This also applies to “In the Bleak Midwinter.”
If you know Boyle’s music, you can easily hear that higher power in every note she sings. Whether it is a classic song like “In the Bleak Midwinter” or one of Boyle’s many other holiday hits, there is always a trace of something angelic in her voice.
