Susan Boyle in tears after U.S. performance
By Alexandra Heilbron on November 27, 2009 | 46 Comments
Susan Boyle was literally mobbed by fans in New York’s Rockefeller Plaza earlier this week, where she’d arrived to promote her debut album I Dreamed A Dream. When given a handmade quilt created by hundreds of fans from 28 countries around the world, the Scottish singer bent her head to hide the tears rolling down her face. Speaking to Access Hollywood, her spokesperson said: “Susan was overjoyed and extremely touched by the gift she had just received and the reception she had from her fans in America.” Her debut CD sold 134,000 in its first day of release in the UK, and is expected to sell nearly 400,000 copies by the end of the week, which puts her on track for bestselling album of the year. ~Alexandra Heilbron

Susan, you’re an inspiration to all who have ever dreamed of becoming a star. You’re the perfect example of an individual who never gave up on her dreams and always gave your all in everything you’ve done up to this point. Congratulations, and may you enjoy many happy, successful years. Kudos!
I am a 68 year old male and when Susan sings I always have tears in my eyes. Susan sings like an angel and is really a loving caring person.

Susan when i hear you sing i hear an angle you bring tears to my eyes i love your voice and i will watch for album of the year because the fans will have you there best wishes and best of luck to you your familey and a new start
Susan’s story is almost like the story of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. Because Rudolph was a little different than the others with his bright red nose, all the other reindeer laughed and called him names. Then Santa called upon him to lead his pack pulling the sleigh and then his red nose became a gift instead, lighting the way, being for all to admire instead of ridicule. Susan’s is very much like a Christmas type of story as well. People looked at her cover and laughed, but when they discovered her gift, she was the admiration of the world. A beautiful story. God bless Susan. So wonderful that she found her way. Cheers!!!
Susan Boyle touched so maany people around the globe with her life story and her huge talent! She deserves to be a media darling. I do hope she gets to win album of the year and has a long concert touring life.
You know what they say – “Better late than never”. It’s just too bad that we missed all the other years of hearing your beautiful voice. All the best to you in what ever direction your life may take – but do us all a great big favour and KEEP ON SINGING.
Be nice if Susan and Rita MacNeil sang something together……….two beautiful, crystal clear voices.
Wow, she must be very overwhelmed, she was taunted before, now she’s loved the world over! Congrats Susan!
Way to go Susan, what a beautiful voice, ditto to all
the comments above, you bring joy to my heart everytime
I hear you sing. Thank you for the gift you share with
the world. I hope you come to Canada. I would love to
see you sing. Take care.
YOU GO GIRL!! Just goes to show, ‘Don’t judge a book by it’s cover’.
She makes every ordinary girl out there who can actually sing make them want to persue it. She’s fantastic. Besides, music is all about the sound, not the look. Susan is awesome! Love her!

You’re the greatest Susan. Was at the store early morning of Nov.23 and didn’t know if they would have it in Quebec. They did and we’ve been playing it non-stop ever since. What an angelic voice. We are very tearful but happy when listening. Good Luck and lots of love Susan. Hope you make it to Canada soon.
Awesome CD, Susan! Well done you! I play it in the car, while taking a bath and while cooking. Just about all the time, really.
I’m so glad YOUR “dream” is coming true. You deserve it. Your late Mother would be so proud.
Meanwhile I, like thousands of others, am waiting for your next release.
No pressure, ok? 🙂
Really love her. What a pure soul! She is an inspiration to us all. Wish her the very best in life and career!
Imagine…A duet with her and Josh Grobin?
Or her and Adam Lambert? JUST KIDDING!!!
…just so refreshing to see such great talent come to the forefront…someone who doesn’t put on airs…Susan’s story is like a modern-day “fairy tale” come true! Way to go Susan!!! God bless you!
Stay humble for that is what you truly are.
Thank you for sharing your God given voice. May you love you as much as we do.
Merry Christmas Susan.
peace and prayers
Susan…your voice rockets me to heavens untold! God Bless you for the voice which has shattered me and brought me to my knees. I Bless God and the Universe for allowing me to experience you in this finite lifetime in which I have lived, breathed and experienced the voice which has reached in and beckoned my empty soul to once again, allow myself to feel.
When you sing, I am brought, with loving memories, to the joys of my childhood, which solely belong to my Mother. As a very young child, I wept with tears of joy, gratitude and happiness over that which I did not comprehend nor understand.
My Mother, penniless, always managed to perform the most amazing birthdays for me, creating lavish cakes after scraping together her pennies, pride and pop bottles in trade for a birthday cake for me.
This “Guardian Guided By Angels” protected me and my siblings from the Drunkard whom was my father.
Your voice forces my mind and emotions to recklessly ruminate and again experience the exquisite,tender heartfelt and angelic love of my Beloved Mother.
Thank you from the deepest recesses of my Soul.
Love,
As Always
Bridgette
