Susan Boyle has been booked to headline yet another high profile gig, it has been reported.
The Britain’s Got Talent star performed for Pope Benedict XVI on his tour of Britain and this summer, she is set to play for the head of the Church Of England, as she sings as part of Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
Susan Boyle has admitted that she’d love to see Dannii Minogue returning to The X Factor.
The new mum left the ITV series earlier this year, due to a filming conflict between it and Australia’s Got Talent but SuBo thinks the panel worked better with the Australian star on it.
In an interview with Digital Spy, the ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ hitmaker was asked about the falling ratings and if the show can survive without Simon Cowell – who left to front his new American version – and said:
Susan Boyle: An Unlikely Superstar
Friday 4 November at 9pm, ITV1
Susan Boyle: An Unlikely Superstar gives a revealing insight into the life of the woman who achieved world wide acclaim and became the most incredible success story of our time.
Susan Boyle catapulted to international stardom overnight in 2009 after confounding the judges, audience and anyone with access to YouTube, when she stepped on to the Britain’s Got Talent Stage. Known for her powerful, heart stopping voice, Susan has become the first artist in the history of the charts to have two albums debut at number one on both sides of the Atlantic in a 12 month period; sold over 14 million albums in 14 months; secured number one albums in over 30 countries and achieved three Guinness World Record awards.
There has to be one Subo like contestant in every TV talent series around these days it would seem and in this year’s American X factor, it looks like that person will be Josh Krajcik.
The 30 year old hopeful was featured on last night’s episode of the Fox reality TV series and from his greasy, scruffy apperance, you would have been forgiven for thinking you were about to witness a freak at work. You know, one of those joke auditions where the contestant sings worse than your dog howling at the moon.
However, in what should have been a predictable twist, the self-confessed “burrito slinger” turned out to be quite the crooner and wowed the judges with his rendition of Etta James’ At Last (we used to love this track before it became reality TV fodder!).
It’s been reported today that former Britain’s Got Talent finalist Susan Boyle is currently working on a new album that will feature cover versions of tracks by Depeche Mode and Tears For Fears.
According to What’s On TV, Susan will record her renditions of classic tracks such as Someone To Watch Over Me, Autumn Leaves and Unchained Melody.
She said of the new album, “There are certain songs that I liked that resonated with the letters that people had written and sent to me.
“I knew that’s what my record needed to be about. They wrote about grief, love, happy and sad times… Read more & comment »
Simon Cowell has set the record straight on his financial relationship with Susan Boyle.
The X Factor boss had quipped that he took half of the Britain’s Got Talent star’s earning during an interview on Howard Stern’s radio show earlier this week, but has now claimed that his comments were a joke and insisted that he doesn’t take advantage of the Scottish singer.
We know, we’re a bit fed up with people comparing reality TV contestants to Susan Boyle too, but apparently we can expect another geeky singer on this year’s X Factor show.
Insiders say that Subo fan Roger Boyd stunned the judges (much like Michael Collings did on Britain’s Got Talent) at the recent Liverpool auditions, as he launched into an unexpectedly good rendition of a high energy Meatloaf song.
Apparently, BGT finalist Susan Boyle is not a woman you want to anger, as staff at a hotel in London discovered to their cost at the weekend.
The Sun reports that when Susan check into the “posh” hotel, she saw some members of staff laughing, and immediately assumed they were poking fun at her.
The paper states that she “gave a couple of lads a piece of her mind after getting the wrong end of the stick during her stay”.
A source close to the singer said, “Susan wasn’t very happy. She walked into the hotel lobby and thought one of the members of staff was making jokes about her, so she got quite upset… Read more & comment »
Susan Boyle will soon see her life story made into a stage show.
The former Britain’s Got Talent contestant – who went on to break international sales records and sell more than 14 million albums worldwide – will see her childhood and teenage years become the focus of new international stage production ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ in 2012.
‘Rab C. Nesbitt’ actress Elaine C Smith will take on the role of SUBO and the Scottish singer has confessed that she is thrilled at the prospect of seeing her life turned into a worldwide musical.
Susan Boyle has reportedly decided to leave her massive new home and move back to the old council house she grew up in.
The Britain’s Got Talent star recently bought a five bedroom £300,000 dwelling in West Lothian and held a massive house warming bash to celebrate her new home. However, insiders say the singer couldn’t settle in her new property and now wants to move home.
A source told Scotland’s Sunday Mail: “She wants to return because she is part of the community which she has missed. Susan is a people person and does not like being on her own. She misses the day-to-day contact that she used to enjoy with neighbours and friends.
