In 2013, Britain's Got Talent Season 3 Finalist Susan Boyle performed in her native Scotland for a good cause, more specifically, for the annual BBC Children in Need telethon. There, she did a breathtaking rendition of the soulful tune "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban to support the organization.

During her amazing performance, she started off with a soft, controlled tone supported by gentle piano chords. When the chorus hit, her voice soared through the high notes as she sang the emotional lyrics and immersed herself in the music. 

When the lovely strings and background vocals kicked in, Boyle belted in a way that will send chills down your spine.
