Susan Boyle's audition set to smash YouTube record



Susan Boyle's audition on Britain's Got Talent looks set to become the most viewed YouTube clip of all time.

With just over a week after it was uploaded to the site, Susan's audition has now been watched more than 100million times.

The current record for number of hits is 'Evolution of Dance' by Judson Laipply which has been viewed more than 118million times.

Miss Boyle's 'I Dreamed a Dream' audition has already eclipsed that of Barack Obama's victory speech (18.5million hits) and George W. Bush ducking a shoe in Iraq (33.2million hits).

Susan Boyle Gets a New Look



Susan left home yesterday sporting a new look, she was wearing a funky leather jacket and a print-pattern dress after a trip to the hairdressers.

Susan said: "I will need to sort out my dress sense and my weight. It wasn't until I saw myself on TV that I realised how frumpy I was."

"It's not a big thing - it doesn't worry me too much - but I will be doing a bit more exercise to help me sort it out."

"When there is this much attention on you, you have to plan what you wear every day and look your best."

"I just want to look nice, and smart."

Welcome to Susan Boyle Fan Club

Britain's Got Talent singer Susan Boyle may not be as naive as she would have us believe.

The 47-year-old spinster told viewers of the U.K. TV talent show that she lived alone, had a cat called Pebbles, and had "never been kissed."

But it wasn't true.

Boyle, who has competed in countless talent shows, used the line to curry favor with the audience. She told a TV interviewer from U.K. breakfast show GMTV, "That was made as a joke! Never been kissed? I've never stopped."

The blogosphere has lit up at the news.

"Angel or crazy for publicity? You decide," was how fan site CafeArjun.com responded. "I'm forced to believe it was all a planned show!"

Popwrap.com branded her a "one-trick pony," while NowPublic.com was more understanding: "Do you think a peck on the cheek counts for being kissed?" the site asked.

But Boyle's admission has done nothing to dampen the ardor of her millions of new fans. Many believe Boyle, who has been nicknamed the "hairy angel" according to Britain's Daily Mail, should be declared the winner of the show right now. (She has at least one more song to perform).

"Now that Susan Boyle has been acknowledged as a singing sensation for her beautiful voice, I think it would be a good idea to declare her the winner of Britain's Got Talent," wrote C.J. Crane from Mallorca in Spain.

"I am glad Simon Cowell looks like he's going to give her a recording contract," said Raymond Rees from Wales.

British fan D.E. Atkins wrote: "The makeover squad should leave Susan Boyle alone. It is her singing and simplicity that people love. Once they start trying to change Susan's image they will spoil her."

But is it too late? Is overnight stardom already threatening to change Susan Boyle?

Since her first audition, the local council has built a fence around her home to discourage autograph-hunters. Boyle has also hired a hunky live-in bodyguard, been seen sporting an expensive leather jacket, and has agreed to go on a date with one of the judges.
