Susan Boyle Hits the States
On April 17, 2009, Susan Boyle was skyrocketed to international fame with her rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” on ‘Britain’s Got Talent,’ the show that shot her to fame, on April 17, 2009. Next week, she’ll be making her stateside debut.
Boyle will fly across the pond to perform on the season finale of “America’s Got Talent” on Sept. 16, People.com reports.
Her appearance isn’t a surprise to anyone who has been following her sometimes tumultuous career. Ryan Seacrest talked as early as last season about her appearing on “American Idol” (which she did not) and “Talent” judge Piers Morgan made no secret of his desire to get her on the stateside program when its season began this summer.
“If she’s up for it and she is well enough … our feeling is she probably will. Absolutely!” Morgan told a group of reporters back in June, as quoted by EntertainmentWeekly.com.
Morgan was referring to Boyle’s brief hospitalization for exhaustion following her second place finish on “Britain’s Got Talent,” which she threatened to quit after being so quickly thrust into the spotlight.
After the church volunteer’s debut on the show last April, her performance of “I Dreamed a Dream” was an instant hit on YouTube, making her a bona fide star virtually overnight. The video has now been viewed over 200 million times.
And interest in formerly frumpy, 48-year-old singer has hardly dimmed in the months since the British talent competition wrapped up.
Be whoever you want this Halloween. Susan Boyle was instantly transformed, although it had little to do with fantasy. This All Hallow’s Eve, become who you’ve always wanted to be with your very real, sexy side coming through. With the right sexy adult costume, you’ll have jaws dropping. Get your Halloween costume before the rush.
In order to make her American debut, she’s taking a break from recording her first album, which will include “I Dreamed a Dream” and, according to People.com, the Madonna song “You’ll See.”
Although the album isn’t completed, it is already at the top of Amazon.com’s pre-order charts. This puts her ahead of a much longer-standing British export- The Beatles.

My Take: Is it a little sad that the Scottish songbird has beaten out the Fab Four? Fans of the Invasion leaders may feel betrayed by the public’s change of heart, but you have to admit: Susan Boyle’s success is a sign of better times.
If a woman wants to be successful, there is a phenomenal pressure for her to be the sexxiest thing around. That goes triple for performers. The fact that Boyle is being seen as a talented artist gives a glimmer of hope for women’s future in the mainstream. Finally, there’s a chance for females to be recognized for more than their legs (or other body parts).
Now if we could just stop mentioning Boyle’s homeliness at every opportunity, we may be a little closer to the whole “equality” thing.
