Susan Boyle Says “No Comment” To Mail Suitors Question On The Today Show
Yet another TV appearance for Susan Boyle, this time it was on NBC’s The Today Show.
This morning Susan Boyle joined Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira via satellite from her home in Scotland for yet another interview. This poor woman has to be just about interviewed out at this point! The nice thing was that before her itnerview, they showed a pre-recorded bit with Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden about the Ms. Boyle’s sudden rise to fame. The good news is that she says they have no intention of doing a make-over on Ms. Boyle as they don’t want to add that pressure on her.
It’s a good interview, with a nice surprise visit by Paul Potts, the winner of season 1 of Britain’s Got Talent towards the end of it. He compliments her performance and tells her he thinks she is doing a wonderful job keeping a level head through out this entire ordeal. If anyone can relate to this, he certainly can.
Here is the video, sorry that it won’t play outside of the USA. If the player below isn’t working, you can find it here.

England Channel 5 Covers The Susan Boyle Story
Channel 5 in the UK does a story on how Susan Boyle is effecting everyone who hears her sing.
Unlike most stories about Susan Boyle, this one doesn’t feature her being interviewed, and there is no one from Britain’s Got Talent on it… kind of odd, honestly. It does make mention of Demi Moore’s message on Twitter which was how I actually first learned of Susan Boyle back on April 12th, though. Considering the number of followers she and her husband, Ashton Kutcher, have on that site, I would hazard to guess that is how a lot of people first came to learn of Ms. Boyle and her amazing singing voice.
All in all, still an interesting video to watch, especially when they show the video to the East End cast of Les Miserables.

47-Year-Old Susan Boyle Wows The Judges On Britain’s Got Talent
Susan Boyle, a 47-year-old woman from West Lothian in Scotland, is sweeping the Internet by storm with her singing abilities!
April 11th was the premiere episode of Britain’s Got Talent, and even with only one episode aired, people are already sure that a certain Ms. Susan Boyle could stand to win the whole thing. However, that certainly wasn’t their attitude when she first walked out on to the stage.
In the behind-the-scenes footage before she took the stage, we learned that Ms. Boyle lives alone with her cat Pebbles, and that she has never even been kissed. Once she finally hit the stage, Ms. Boyle awkwardly introduced herself to the three judges, Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden, and stated that she aspired to sing like the great Elaine Page. After some eye-rolling from audience members, and even some obvious skepticism from the judges, she began to sing, and you can see the results below.
