Susan Boyles Own Talent Show

Posted on 11. Jul, 2010 by LynThomas in Entertainment

Simon Cowell may not be feeling too happy with his singing star, Susan Boyle, as she launches her own singing contest, in spite of all the money she has earned for his company.

Boyle is calling on talent to upload videos of themselves singing Silent Night onto YouTube. The winner of the international contest, which she has called The Susan Search, will have the opportunity to sing a duet with Boyle on her upcoming second album The Gift. She says she wants to help other aspiring singers.

“There are a lot of people out there who wouldn’t have the confidence or perhaps the means to enter a big competition like Britain’s Got Talent. So this might be a lot less daunting for some people as they can record the song in the privacy of their own home. I’m hoping that people who have always wanted to sing will give it a try. I wish you all good luck,” says Boyle.

Simon Cowell sent Boyle a 4-million-pound birthday present, her first royalties cheque of her debut album, ‘I Dreamed a Dream’. Syco, Simon Cowell’s company, released Susan’s record-breaking album that became the fastest selling album in British history, with more than 3.1 million copies being sold in the opening month.

Boyle, the Scottish singer, rose to fame on the TV’s Britain’s Got Talent show, when she sang the soul stirring ‘I Dreamed a Dream’, that wowed the entire world. Boyle was the runner-up of the show.

Before and After

Boyle has gone from strength to strength. In January 2010 Boyle sang on a Danish relief show, ‘The Denmark Collection’, at the Tivoli Concert Hall, in Copenhagen, to raise money for women were victims of the Haiti earthquake. Gone is the image of a frizzy haired, dowdy dressed unknown, from West Lothian, in Scotland.

Boyle has made guest appearances around the world, since her debut on Britain’s Got Talent, including singing at the Sanremo song festival, Italy and with the Yamiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo, Japan. While in Japan Boyle celebrated her 49^th birthday with her fans, where she hosted a lavish party.

Boyle unexpectedly cancelled her Australian tour, where she was to sing at the Logies, stating she had to get rested so she could cut her second album.

In the meantime Boyle is taking legal action against her two brothers, for breach of privacy after they were interviewed. Brothers Gerry, 55 and John 59, apparently told a magazine about her career. The interview is reported to have deeply hurt the feelings of the singer. The brothers told the mag that the family is increasingly being ‘frozen out’ of the church volunteer’s life. They also commented on her cancelled Australian tour and supposedly bizarre behavior.

Following Britain’s Got Talent, Boyle was admitted to hospital, suffering from stress. After a show in New York recently, she broke down into tears and angrily hit out at the reports of the show. Boyle is said to be fed up with the constant intrusions into her private life.
