Susan Boyle has been able to fulfil a lifelong dream this week, as she recorded a duet with her idol Elaine Paige.

As part of the upcoming ITV show, I Dreamed A Dream: The Susan Boyle Story, Susan sings the Chess song ‘I Know Him So Well’ with Elaine. During her first audition for Britain’s Got Talent, Susan told Simon Cowell that she wanted to be as successful as Elaine.

An overwhelmed Susan told The Sun:

“I never thought I’d see myself standing on the same stage with such an icon from the West End theatre, let alone singing with her as an equal.

“I’ve really enjoyed myself and I’m really enjoying the show. I don’t want the dream to end. In fact I want it to become a reality.”

Susan Boyle’s brother has spoken of his worry for his famous sister and claimed that although she may be known worldwide, he fears that she is ‘the loneliest woman in the world.’

Susan insisted today that she was ‘happy and doing fine,’ however her brother believes that her assertions couldn’t be further from the truth.

Gerry told The People:

“I worry Susan will become totally consumed by fame and lose touch with reality.

“If that happens the lid could come off at any moment.

“I need to protect her because she is still so insecure and vulnerable. Her family are her only anchor. Without us she could be cut adrift.”

On Susan’s reaction to the rapturous response she received from fans in America this week, Gerry said:

“Susan said she was in great spirits but it was clear she had become totally overwhelmed by the reaction to her by the American public.

“I kept asking her ‘Are you calm, are you happy?’ and Susan replied that she’s where she wants to be, which reassured me.

“She said it was the patchwork quilt presented to her which had been stitched together by hundreds of people from 28 countries which set her off. When I asked about the pictures of her sucking her thumb she said she didn’t even realise she was doing it.

“I’ve not seen her do that since she was a child but perhaps it was her way of comforting herself.

“I told Susan she needed to kick back quietly for a few days and spent time carefully telling her everyone loved her especially her family and of course her beloved cat Pebbles which she always asks about.”

What Susan’s brother worries most about, is what will happen to Susan if the fame and recognition all comes to an end.

He said: “What worries me is that Susan is aware she can be the hottest thing around today and be gone tomorrow.

“She pours out her heart to me all the time and can get into a groove of feeling sorry for herself. I spoke to Susan before she flew out to America and she knew this was really the start of the big time.

“But that also brings its problems if her head isn’t in the right place. The thumb-sucking and sobbing wasn’t a sign she’s cracking up but it’s alarming. She is so different to everyone else and the least thing can send her into a pit of depression.”

Susan Boyle has denied rumours that she is on the edge of a mental breakdown and assured her fans that she is “happy and doing fine”.

“I have never been accepted by the world before,” the Britain’s Got Talent star told the News of the World. “Now I do feel part of it, and I find it really exciting. I feel very content with myself, and as I’m finally achieving my dream I feel so lucky and privileged.

“I keep asking myself, ‘Is this really happening?’ And I keep expecting someone to say, ‘Ha, ha, love, we’re kidding’.”

Boyle added that the only thing she is scared of, is that her fame will disappear sometime soon.

“Everyone has fears but mine is probably that this will all disappear,” she said. “I want it to keep on going as long as possible.

“If it did all go away tomorrow, I know that I’ve enjoyed every moment of living the dream now.”

Susan Boyle’s neighbours have admitted that they are worried about her mental health and think that the stress of being famous is affecting her.

Neighbours who live next to the Britain’s Got Talent singer in Blackburn, say that she has started speaking in an American accent (when she talks to them at all), plays her own album at top volume and has had an ambulance at her house on two occasions.

Teresa Miller, 36, said that the singer had “definitely changed”.

She told The Mirror: “I said hello to her in the street the other day and she blanked me. Then on other days she’s perfectly charming. It must be the stress getting to her. But I’ll always be here for her if she needs me.”

Teresa added that she and her husband were being “driven mad” by Boyle’s music.

“I think her favourite song is ‘Wild Horses’ as that’s the one she plays the most. We’ve also seen two ambulances and a doctor come to her house. Susan had told me she had been feeling pains in her stomach.”

Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has claimed that she could never be a judge on ITV’s X Factor, as she finds the show too boring.

Holden told The Sun:

“I could never be a judge on X Factor simply because it is only about one type of entertainer.

“I would get bored to tears watching and listening to singer after singer.”

Amanda thinks the British public share her view, as the final of her talent show got 19 million, more than X Factor has ever achieved.

She added: “The final of BGT in May got more than 19million viewers, because it’s not just about one thing.”

Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle has her very own stalker!

The singer, who has become famous all over the world, has been followed by a middle aged American woman and the last straw came when she showed up at Susan’s Scottish home this week. The woman was intercepted by a security guard, but after the recent assault on Leona Lewis, Simon Cowell has ordered extra security coverage for Subo.

A source told The Sun: “Simon is not taking any chances.

“This woman is constantly following Susan around the world. It is a middle-aged American woman who has become obsessed with her.

“At first, people thought it was no more than a nuisance. But after what happened to Leona everyone is taking extra precautions.

“This is an important month for Susan and everyone wants it to go smoothly.”

Michael Bublé has admitted that due to missing Susan Boyle’s first Britain’s Got Talent audition, he didn’t initially understand her appeal.

“I didn’t understand Susan Boyle,” he told the Daily Express. “I was cynical and critical because I had never seen her in that first show where she comes up and says, ‘I want to be a singer’ and the audience looks at her and says, ‘Oh please!’ I got goosebumps.”

“I’m going to go when this record comes out and buy 20 copies… because what a beautiful story of an underdog. It gives me faith in the human condition that we still have that kind of feeling that we actually want the good guy to win.

“It killed me. It really is a beautiful, beautiful story.”
