More on Susan Boyle
Description from Wikipedia:
Susan Margaret Boyle (born 15 June 1961) is a Scottish singer who came to international public attention on 11 April 2009, when she appeared as a contestant on Britain's Got Talent, singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Misérables.
Global interest in Boyle was triggered in large measure by the contrast between her powerful voice and her frumpy, ungroomed appearance on stage. The juxtaposition of the audience's first impression of her with the standing ovation she received after she sang led to an international media and Internet response. Within nine days of the audition, videos of Boyle—including from the show itself, various interviews, and her 1999 rendition of "Cry Me a River"—had jointly been watched over 100 million times, an online record. Despite the sustained media interest, and possibly in part because of it, she later finished in second place in the final of the show, behind dance troupe Diversity.
Boyle's first album, I Dreamed a Dream, will be released on 23 November 2009, and has become Amazon's best-selling album in pre-sales. Its first single is a cover of the Jagger/Richards song "Wild Horses." The album is also expected to include "You'll See," "I Dreamed a Dream," "Memory," and "Cry Me a River."
