Q&A, 1 a.m.: Susan Boyle: Famous In An Instant


And she did, daily. She's never had a driver's license, never really needed one in this little cuddle of a Scottish village where she has lived in the same rented house since she was born.

All it took was an appearance on "Britain's Got Talent," and YouTube top pick up the video, which instantly went viral, for Boyle to become a worldwide sensation.

Mary Jordan, Washington Post foreign correspondent, traveled to Blackburn, Scotland, the small village where Boyle lives, and was online Monday, April 20, at 2 p.m. ET to discuss how life has changed for Susan Boyle and the town she's from.
