The Susan Boyle Handbook - Everything you need to know about Susan Boyle

ebook
Susan Magdalane Boyle (born 1 April 1961)is a Scottish singer who came to international public attention when she appeared as a contestant on reality TV programme Britain's Got Talent on 11 April 2009, singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Misérables. Her first album was released in November 2009 and debuted as the number one best-selling CD on charts around the globe. Global interest in Boyle was triggered by the contrast between her powerful voice and her plain appearance on stage. The juxtaposition of the audience's first impression of her, with the standing ovation she received during and after her performance, led to an international media and internet response. Within nine days of the audition, videos of Boyle—from the show, various interviews and her 1999 rendition of "Cry Me a River" — had been watched over 100 million times. Her audition video has been viewed on the internet several hundred million times. Despite the sustained media interest she later finished in second place in the final of the show behind dance troupe Diversity. Boyle's first album, I Dreamed a Dream, was released on 23 November 2009 and became Amazon's best-selling album in pre-sales. According to Billboard, "The arrival of I Dreamed a Dream ... marks the best opening week for a female artist's debut album since SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991." In only six weeks of sales, it became the biggest selling album in the world for 2009, selling 9 million copies. In September 2010, Boyle was officially recognised by Guinness World Records as having had the fastest selling debut album by a female artist in the UK, the most successful first week sales of a debut album in the UK, and was also awarded the record for being the oldest person to reach number one with a debut album in the UK. This book is your ultimate resource for Susan Boyle. Here you will find the most up-to-date information, photos, and much more. In easy to read chapters, with extensive references and links to get you to know all there is to know about her Early life, Career, Personal life and Discography right away: I Dreamed a Dream (album), The Gift (Susan Boyle album), Wild Horses (The Rolling Stones song), I Dreamed a Dream, Cry Me a River, How Great Thou Art (hymn), You'll See, Daydream Believer, Up to the Mountain (MLK Song), Amazing Grace, Proud (Britannia High song), End of the World (song), Silent Night, Perfect Day, Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen song), Do You Hear What I Hear?, Don't Dream It's Over, The First Nowell, O Holy Night, Away in a Manger, Prayer of Saint Francis, Auld Lang Syne, Adeste Fideles Contains selected content from the highest rated entries, typeset, printed and shipped, combining the advantages of up-to-date and in-depth knowledge with the convenience of printed books.
