Susan Boyle Interview On CBS’ The Early Show
As promised, Susan Boyle was on The Early Show today, and she received a rather special treat.
Susan Boyle began the rounds of American talk shows today by appearing on The Early Show on CBS. I believe this is a first for any contestant on Britain’s Got Talent, but could they have started off with anyone better? The only things that seemed to have changed on Ms. Boyle since she sang “I Dreamed A Dream” was that her clothes seemed a bit more put together, and her hair was more kept looking.
The interview was a nice one, and you could tell she is really trying to soak everything that has happened to her thus far, but who could deal with being this big of an over night sensation? We also did learn some more about her, such as she was living with her mother until she recently passed away. She had then taken a few years off from singing while she mourned, and now she is back and thought she would give the competition a try. I think it is safe to say she did more than just give it a try!
In the second half of the interview, CBS put Ms. Boyle on the phone with Patti Lupone, one of the biggest names in Broadway, to see what she thought of Ms. Boyle’s rendition of a song she had sung many years ago. Well, like almost everyone else in the world, Ms. Lupone cried. Considering she was the first person to sing this song when the show first opened, that’s quite a compliment.
She does sing “I Dreamed A Dream” again (without music to boot), but it isn’t the whole song.
We’ve posted the videos below for you, but we aren’t sure they are visible outside of the USA, sorry if they aren’t.

Jay Leno Impersonates Susan Boyle For A Sketch
Even more evidence that Susan Boyle is well on her way to becoming a household name the world over.
On tonight’s episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Mr. Leno did a short sketch based around the idea that he may be related to Susan Boyle due to the fact that his mother comes from the same part of Scotland as Ms. Boyle. To prove his theory, he showed the now infamous clip of Ms. Boyle singing on Britain’s Got Talent, but all the shots of Ms. Boyle were replaced with Mr. Leno dressed up as her.
Not exactly high brow comedy, and some people have taken offense to the sketch, but that is late night comedy sketches for you. I personally didn’t find the sketch offensive, just extremely predictable, as is much of what passes for comedy on The Tonight Show during Jay Leno’s tenure as the host.
Oh well, to each their own. As always, the video is embedded below.

Susan Boyle On Good Morning America
Yet another American television interview with the Britain’s Got Talent singing sensation.
Diane Sawyer of Good Morning America was yet another American teevision presenter to sit down and interview from her home in Scotland this morning. While it covered some of the familiar ground we have seen in other interviews (do these hosts never say “Okay, she’s answered this 50 times, lets ask something else?”), Ms. Sawyer did seem to focus a bit more on Ms. Boyle’s family. Did she think her parents were looking down on her? Who were all the cards in the background from? So it made it feel a bit more intimate than other interviews have.

Susan Boyle To Be On The Early Show
Well, that didn’t take long to happen! Susan Boyle is about to be interviewed by American television shows!
According to the Orlando Sentinel, Ms. Boyle will be appearing on the CBS morning show, The Early Show this morning. She will be singing from her kitchen in Scotland during the performance, but no hint yet on what she will be singing. Hopefully it will be different than her “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables she performed on Britain’s Got Talent the other day.
As soon as we can locate a video of the interview, we will be bringing it to you right here on this blog. Hopefully it won’t take us long, but we implore you to stay tuned for it!

Susan Boyle Interviewed By BBC Reporting Scotland
Even the BBC has gotten in on the Susan Boyle express.
This is possibly one of the shortest interviews with Ms. Boyle, coming in at just under 2 minutes, but it’s nice because it shows her going about her normal day a little bit. There is a spot of oddness where they have her singing her now famous “I Dreamed A Dream” song, but when the camera pans back you see she is singing it into a mirror. Not sure what that is all about, but at least it was something original in one of these interviews!
