Susan Boyle Singing Competition
Posted in YouTube, susan boyle on the July 12, 2010
Susan Boyle became an overnight sensation after appearing on Britain’s Got Talent last year and now, the singer wants to pass the baton to someone else by launching a search to help her find a singer to duet on her new album ‘The Gift’. The YouTube sensation is running the competition on her official website and is asking fans to enter the contest by uploading videos of themselves singing ‘Silent Night’. She said “Last year my dream of becoming a recording artist came true after auditioning on Britain’s Got Talent. Since then, I’ve had an absolutely fantastic time. It’s been a real gift to me and now I would like to pass on the gift to someone else…There are a lot of people out there who wouldn’t have the confidence or perhaps the means to enter a big competition like Britain’s Got Talent. So this might be a lot less daunting for some people as they can record the song in the privacy of their own home. I’m hoping that people who have always wanted to sing will give it a try. I wish you all good luck.”

There’s a rumor going around that Susan Boyle is going to appear on the hit Fox series ‘Glee’ in a season two Christmas episode. The show’s co-creator Ryan Murphy told EW of the singer’s role saying “I have two words for you: Lunch. Lady. I think Kurt would just die to give her a Christmas makeover. I don’t even know if she’s interested but it’s been pitched.” Ryan also revealed that there are plans for the cast to release a Christmas album as well. And as for how the Susan and ‘Glee’ connection came to be, the 49-year old Britain’s Got Talent runner up is on the same record label as the cast.
Susan Boyle inks deal for autobiography
Posted in Book, susan boyle on the April 27, 2010
British singing sensation Susan Boyle has penned a new contract to write her autobiography charting her amazing rise to stardom.
Although Boyle lost out in the final of reality TV show Britain’s Got Talent, to dance troupe Diversity, she was signed to Simon Cowell’s label and her debut album I Dreamed A Dream was a massive hit.
Her publisher Transworld said the book, entitled The Woman I Was Born To Be, would address “the challenges she has struggled to overcome with faith, fortitude and an unfailing sense of humour”.
It added: “This astonishing transformation has not always been easy for Susan, faced with all the trappings of celebrity, but in the whirlwind of attention and expectation, she has always found calm and clarity in music. Susan was born to sing.”
Boyle said she was “a scared wee lassie, still grieving for my mother, not caring how I looked” when she first auditioned for the talent show.
She said: “I’m writing this book to try to show that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover and I hope it will benefit other people.
“My story demonstrates that you shouldn’t just look at the label, you should look at the whole person, emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually, and I hope that telling it will show that dreams are not impossible, if you’ve got courage and a willingness to go on no matter what the circumstances.”

50 Cent Overlooks Susan Boyle
Posted in 50 Cent, YouTube, susan boyle on the March 16, 2010
A few months ago, rapper 50 Cent was talking about how he’d like to collaborate with Susan Boyle and even record a track with the YouTube sensation. But maybe he really didn’t like the singer that much since he completely overlooked her. According to reports, Susan was really hoping to have been picked to open up for 50 on his UK tour after hearing of his admiration of her. However, the rapper decided to pick David John. Don’t let the guy lead you on Susan. You’re much better off without him anyway. He must have just been riding on the bandwagon when he said all those things about you.

Posted in Charts, Kesha, Songs Download, susan boyle on the January 14, 2010
Pop singer Ke$ha has ended Susan Boyle’s six-week run at the top of the US album charts.
The 22-year-old singer has knocked Boyle, 48, off the top of the charts after her album, Animal, sold 59,000 more copies than Boyle’s debut album, I Dreamed A Dream.
A whopping 76 per cent of Ke$ha’s album sales came from digital download stores, according to reports.
Her debut single Tik Tok broke download records for a female singer in America, when it was released in the US last year.
The top three albums in the US charts are all by female artists – Lady Gaga’s album The Fame is at number three with Boyle’s album taking the second top spot.
Susan Boyle is a Strange Diva
Posted in YouTube, susan boyle on the December 15, 2009
Susan Boyle was pretty strange at a taping of a TV special in England. It seems that the singer has had enough with all the dreariness related to her act and tried to spice things up a bit. Halfway through performing a ballad called ‘Who I Was Born to Be’, the YouTube sensation began to do a wild jig across the stage. A source from the show said that it was so odd and out of character that the producers asked her to perform the song again. Susan obliged but again broke out into her strange dance. The source said “Susan just looked like she was doing it as a break from the seriousness and the pressure of having to sing throughout a show. It’s going to give us a bit of a headache – we will have to edit around it.”
50 Cent Wants a Susan Boyle Collaboration
Posted in 50 Cent, susan boyle on the December 11, 2009
50 Cent is jumping on the Susan Boyle bandwagon and wants to do a duet with the Britain’s Got Talent phenomenon. The rapper explains his need for the singer, saying “Susan Boyle is hot right now. I got to get her on a track, for real. We’d make a hit. Everyone is talking about her, the lady from Britain’s Got Talent. ‘She’s got an amazing voice, and together we’d get everyone dancing. I’m always looking to do something new and she’s cool, so I’ll ask somebody to let her know. I’d love to take her clubbing, show her around my world. She’d have a great time.” Somehow, I don’t see the YouTube sensation clubbing. Actually, I don’t see this whole thing happening at all.

Posted in Britain’s Got Talent, susan boyle on the November 16, 2009
Comedy duo Ant and Dec have said they ‘never anticipated’ that Susan Boyle would become such a big success.
The pair were presenting UK show Britain’s Got Talent when Susan, 48, auditioned and became an instant hit after a video was posted on YouTube.
Susan eventually came second in the show but has gone on to have huge success and her debut album will be released in late November.
Talking about Susan’s success, Ant, 33, said: “I have to say, even watching her performance then, the audience were great, the judges were kind of surprised. We thought: ‘That’s a nice story.’
“I never anticipated it being as big as it would be. Never in a million years. She was really nice and a bit nervous and we didn’t expect anything much of her. Then she brought the house down.”
Ant’s comedy partner Dec, 34, added: “We talk about people being overnight sensations but she literally was. She was the first global overnight superstar.
“To go from being that little lady in a small village in Scotland to being known all over the world and having famous Hollywood stars Twittering about you must have made her head spin.”
Susan Boyle Talks Breakdown
Posted in Britain’s Got Talent, susan boyle on the November 13, 2009
Once she got her break on Britain’s Got Talent, Susan Boyle had no idea that it would lead to a breakdown. After going into a clinic to fight stress and anxiety, the singer is finally talking about what drove her over the edge. Susan said “There were phone calls 24 hours a day. They kept me awake for three weeks, until I changed my number. It was constant. There were a lot of press people outside my door, a lot of television people, a lot of people who wanted a piece of me. It got to the stage where I couldn’t even go outside because the media — American television crews, too — surrounded the house. It was like being inside a giant pressure cooker, where the lid bubbles up and bubbles up and soon the pressure cooker goes. Everything had built up, and I was exhausted. You have to understand, my life ceased to be normal.”

Susan Boyle is a Diva
Posted in Britain’s Got Talent, YouTube, susan boyle on the June 12, 2009
Susan Boyle freaked out tour promoters when the singer refused to show up for rehearsal on Tuesday, the day before opening night. Apparently, the singer is still in negotiations over the launch show. The YouTube sensation didn’t want to rehearse with the rest of the Britain’s Got Talent finalists as she reportedly only wants to perform a couple of shows out of the 23 UK tour venues to conserve her voice for her debut album. A source said “We’re leaving everything up to her, to make sure that she’s happy and well. But the problem is that she changes her mind every two minutes.” I can’t believe she’s turned into a diva already! Don’t screw this up Susan, stay grounded.
Susan Boyle is Out of Rehab

Susan Boyle was released from London’s Priory clinic last week after being given a clean bill of health. The Britain’s Got Talent runner up spent a total of five days in the center being treated for exhaustion and anxiety after the show’s disappointing finale. The YouTube sensation’s brother said of his sister’s well-being “She’s much happier. She seems a lot more like herself. Things are becoming clearer for her now. She’s now beginning to believe that, ‘Yes, indeed, I will be a singer.” I wish her the best of luck with her career. I believe in her and I’m sure that a lot of people do too!
Piers Morgan fears he will only be remembered as the judge in the Susan Boyle video
Posted in Britain’s Got Talent, Music, susan boyle on the April 27, 2009
Piers Morgan said he fears he could now be overshadowed and just remembered as the judge in the Susan Boyle video after the singer’s success.
Susan Boyle has become a worldwide hit after her performance on show Britain’s Got Talent.
But now one of the show’s judges Piers, 44, fears he will be forgotten as the Scottish singer’s fame continues to rocket.
He said: "The phenomenon has got so insane I’ve got a horrible feeling that when I die, the headlines are now going to read: ‘Judge in Susan Boyle video dies’."
He added, according to British newspaper The Sun: "Every TV show, magazine, newspaper, and radio station is absolutely obsessed with her. Right now, she is the hottest star in the US."
Piers added: "When you think that the likes of poor old Robbie Williams and Jonathan Ross have been trying for 15 years to crack it here [the US], and she’s done it in just a week, this does seem a little unfair. But hey, that’s showbiz."
