Susan Boyle has a way of making every performance feel magical, but when she sings duets, the magic reaches a whole new level. Whether sharing the stage with legendary artists or blending her voice with rising talents, she creates moments that stay with listeners long after the music fades.

On a crisp December morning, Susan Boyle took the stage at Rockefeller Plaza, bringing holiday magic to the Today show. She was joined by Amber Stassi, the winner of her Susan’s Search YouTube competition, for a breathtaking duet of “Do You Hear What I Hear?” Backed by the Hudson River Children’s Choir, their voices blended beautifully.

Before taking the stage, Susan Boyle had described Stassi’s voice as “soulful”, while Stassi expressed her admiration and excitement, saying that the opportunity to record with Boyle was a dream come true.

Their collaboration, part of Boyle’s album The Gift, wasn’t just a career milestone—it became a viral sensation. When their performance aired on Today, it captivated audiences nationwide.

A YouTube viewer commented, “Under the circumstances, cold, windy and after rehearsing for a long time they did brilliantly. That is live music folks, never perfect because it comes from the heart and not a computer.”

Another continued, “I think Susan and Amber did a great job of singing. They had been up since dawn for sound checks. They were singing outside on a cool windy day, nevertheless, they sounded great!”
