Simon Cowell has assured fans that Susan Boyle’s new album won’t be the predictable drivel that you may have expected.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge insisted that the album will not be filled with “show tunes” and claimed that the Scottish singer was “blown away” by some of the tracks they picked to record.

“We’re not going to throw out some souvenir album of show tunes which everyone expects,” he told Extra.

“We went through about 350 to 400 songs to choose from. She was blown away by some of the song choices… She’s going to surprise a lot of people with this record.”
