When she took the stage on April 10th her hair was untidy and her clothes seemed just one step up from rags．The audience laughed at her．
But then she opened her mouth．A few bars into the song and the laughing audience went silent．A beautiful voice was singing I Dreamed a Dream from the musical Les Misenbles．Everyone was amazed．At the end of her song，the audience jumped to their feet and applauded wildly．
