As Susan Boyle launches her own talent quest, Simon Cowell may not be feeling too happy with his singing star, in spite of all the money she has earned for his company. The winner of the international contest, which Boyle has named The Susan Search, will be given the opportunity to join her in a duet on her upcoming second album The Gift. Boyle is asking those with talent to upload videos of themselves singing Silent Night onto YouTube. 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,” Boyle says. “I’m hoping that people who have always wanted to sing will give it a try. I wish you all good luck”.

Susan Boyle is no longer scared of fame. The ‘Wild Horses’ singer – who shot to fame last April after performing ‘Les Miserables’ song ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ on UK Tv show ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ – admits she initially struggled to come to terms with her celebrity status but now embraces it.
The 48-year-old spinster told Tv show ‘CBS Sunday Morning’: “I was like a scared child before, but I’m not the scared person I used to be. I had to learn how to deal with a lot of publicity, and the glare of attention. And that takes a bit to get used to. But I got there in the end!”
