On her weekly BBC radio program, musical theatre legend Elaine Paige recently explained the SuBo media dustup.
British paper The Daily Mail recently reported Paige referring to Boyle as “a virus really that spread across the world in a nanosecond.” In a statement to the Daily Mail, Paige clarified: “I wasn’t referring to Susan herself; I was referring to the speed of her fame spreading as fast as a worldwide viral marketing campaign.”
Boyle’s meteoric rise to stardom is well-documented, from her appearance on “Britain’s Got Talent,” which was viewed over 100 million times on YouTube, to the release of her first album, “I Dreamed a Dream.” The album, which came out in December, had the largest ever sales debut for a female artist.

The story of Susan Boyle captured the imagination of the world. At one level it was simply the surprise of beauty. Where did that voice come from? And yet there is so much more than that here. And the “so much more” has to do with the expression on the judges’ faces and the sniggers of the audience including those universal judges on their couches throughout the world.

Is Susan Boyle about to cross over from reality star to singing star? The 48-year-old Scottish woman, who surprised Simon Cowell earlier this year with her powerful singing voice on Britain’s Got Talent (and then lost the competition), is one of many reality-show contestants to release an album. But I Dreamed a Dream, her debut CD, is performing at a level that goes beyond the usual TV tie-in. According to Billboard, the recording sold 701,000 copies in its first week in the U.S. alone, “the best opening week for a female artist’s debut album” since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking album sales in 1991. She’s just as popular in Canada, though she doesn’t exactly love us back, having twice cancelled plans to visit here. No matter where she goes or doesn’t go, she’s the most popular recording star produced by Cowell’s Talent and Idol TV franchises. And not just because of her famously dumpy appearance, or the publicity she got for a recent bout of exhaustion. She’s the first reality contestant whose CDs have unlimited appeal to reality TV viewers.

In a decade that was defined by the emergence of YouTube, 2009 saw the development of international stars because of exposure on YouTube. According to YouTube’s blog, 2009 was the biggest year yet for online video and for the first time, YouTube is sharing its “Most Watched” video list. Not surprisingly, Susan Boyle is at the top of it. Susan Boyle’s the 48-year old Scottish woman who first shocked Simon Cowell and the judges of Britains’ Got Talent, and then the entire World after clips of her performance were liberally uploaded to YouTube for view. The result was a primal, rapid reaction to her voice, and over 120 million views generated. Of those, my video on Susan Boyle accounted for a tiny share of 2 million views.

Britain’s Got Talent star Susan, 48, will purportedly join the 23-year-old Poker Face singer and the 37-year-old Queen of Burlesque at the 60th Sanremo Festival. Scottish spinster Susan was now said to be amid speculation if she would pick up a few pointers from both the stars, known for the outlandish and barely-there costumes, reports the Daily Express. Susan was reported to have become bigger than Michael Jackson in 2009 after sales of her debut album surpassed those of the late singer by several thousand. Her ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ went on to become the best-selling album of the year.
Proving that he’ll work with just about anyone to make a hit, Snoop Dogg has announced a particularly popular female vocalist he’d like to work with. As Rap-Up points out, the weed-brained rapper recently said he’d love to collaborate with British sensation Susan Boyle. Speaking with E!, Snoop simply said of working with Boyle, “If you set the studio session up, I’d do that.” Better yet, there’d be little risk of a sexual harassment suit after.

Several patients – both women and men – have told me about the moving success story of [Britain's Got Talent singer] Susan Boyle with tears pouring down their cheeks. As one patient put it, “I’ve spent most of my life trying to be so good, to do the right thing, to be perfect and it’s been such a waste of time, a waste of life.
“Susan Boyle has broken through all that stuff and has gone ahead and done what she’s wanted to do. She doesn’t have to be somebody she’s not.”
Max Clifford, the publicist, points out that the “magical moments which we as a nation love” are those that challenge our assumptions and prejudices. Boyle has challenged the stereotype of what it takes to be a successful woman – Cinderella has not been transformed into a Princess, she has been a Princess all along, but without the material trappings of one.
A dumpy, 47-year-old Scottish singleton, Boyle is the epitome of an old maid.

You probably heard of the inspiring life story of Susan Boyle. A 47-year old, unemployed, never been married (and never been kissed) woman from Scotland who elicited lots of praises and compliments not just from the three judges, but also from millions of people across the universe, thanks to YouTube. Her inspiring story spread rapidly like wildfire and inspires others (especially underdogs and dark horses like her) to reach for your dreams no matter what. The Britain’s Got Talent contestant (by far the most popular these days), delivered a strong performance backed up with an even appropriate and inspirational song, “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables.

Rumors are flying about the potential for a Susan Boyle and Adam Lambert duet to be taped for broadcast on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Reports are that both breakout pop stars are due for tapings this Wednesday, January 13, 2010. However, before everyone gets too excited, it seems just as possible the pair may appear opposite each other on different parts of the show with a theme of covering phenomenal singers from reality shows. The show itself will not comment on rumors about guests. If Oprah Winfrey does indeed bring together these two in a collaborative performance, it would likely pay off with huge numbers of viewers. Susan Boyle has turned her global fame into a triple platinum album after only six weeks of sales in the US. Adam Lambert continues to draw huge media attention and his album For Your Entertainment is nearing gold certification. Stay tuned for more information when Wednesday gets here.
Susan Boyle had the world in motion with her rendition of “I Dream A Dream” from Les Mis. Since then she’s gone on to hit the UK charts with her debut song and become a singing phenomenon! We’ll need all the support we can get to have a chance of winning the World Cup next year, so we need a song to stir the emotions of the nation! For this reason we think this is one quirky bet which might have legs! Surely, “This Time” the England World Cup song for 2010 will be better.
Susan Boyle, unfazed by the open public disapproval, proceded to sing everyone into a state of breathless, teary awe when she sang “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables and as soon as she opened her mouth and let out those first notes, the audience was shocked into applause, as though Susan Boyle had performed some measure of magic or a small miracle, because, you see, she is not very attractive, and she is a bit long in the tooth, and her sassy pelvic thrusts were awkwardly executed. The obvious expectations of her based on her age and looks alone made me feel sad. I like to imagine that we have moved some distance from the antiquated stance that physical beauty is equal to the innate goodness of a person in morality, spirituality, and ability, but the world’s reaction to Susan Boyle defeats my imagination’s power to transform reality.

In a swirl of publicity and media chatter, matronly singer Susan Boyle now has a new love interest….Actor Mel Gibson!
Fans had a rare chance to glimpse the groping couple as they strolled arm in arm into of of Hollywood’s swankiest restaurants for a quick inbibe and a hastily spirited ride back to ‘Mel’s Place’ high in the Hollywood Hills.

Mel Gibson, though the father of 11 children, claims he’s still a virgin too, though he does admit to a ‘once-in-awhile wank’ here and there!

The shortlist for the Brit Awards, Britain’s version of the Grammys, seems at least one name too short to many fans. Susan Boyle, whose rocket to fame began in April after her appearance on “Britain’s Got Talent” and whose first record just finished a six-week run at the top of the Billboard album chart, selling more than 3 million copies, was nowhere to be seen among the nominations. Although women are dominating the nominations for Britain’s leading music awards, but Internet sensation Susan Boyle is snubbed again.

Poor SuBo taken a terrible drubbing today from her heroine, ElPa (otherwise known as Elaine Paige to anyone who doesn’t speak exclusively in portmanteau words). “I don’t particularly feel any pride for [Susan Boyle],” Paige told a newspaper. “It’s all about turning someone into an immediate celebrity at the expense of longevity and working hard and experience. She is a girl with no experience of anything to do with theatrics, the music business or art in any way.”

I was dismayed to read the remarks attributed to me today in the Daily Mail which were incomplete and misinterpreted; said Elaine Paige.
I am a huge supporter of Susan Boyle and admire what she has achieved; she has handled the extraordinary situation of being catapulted to worldwide stardom with tremendous strength, charm and dignity and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her on the ITV special we recorded together only last month.
