Britains Got Talent Susan Boyle continues to shine. Her instant worldwide fame continues to glow, with an amazing 25 million YouTube hits and rising for her Britain’s Got Talent turn. Now, interview requests from Oprah Winfrey and Larry King are in line with this phenomenal 47 year old Scottish charity worker.

Boyle is expected to appear on CNN’s Larry King Live and the queen of US daytime TV’s programme, Oprah, a week after her unforgettable performance on Britains Got Talent singing I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables.
Larry King is due to interview Boyle on his programme tomorrow morning, UK time, while Winfrey has also agreed to interview the 47-year-old, adding to her round of US network TV breakfast show gigs with the likes of NBC and CBS earlier in the week. Interest from America shows no signs of abating. Boyle has already done 60 interviews with media outlets around the world.
Clips of Boyle’s performance have been watched 25m times on YouTube, with a further 2.3m viewings on ITV’s website.
Scottish newspaper the Daily Record also today uncovered a sultry version of Cry Me a River Boyle sang for a 1999 charity CD, part-funded by her local Whitburn Community Council, which has led to massive traffic on its site.
Only 1,000 copies of the charity compilation CD were produced, according to the Daily Record, and it was recorded at Whitburn Academy at the behest of a local newspaper that launched a search for unsigned acts to take part.
The massive worldwide interest in Boyle prompted the Britain’s Got Talent judge and executive producer Simon Cowell to deny today that the programme was a one-horse race.
Simon Cowell said: “There are some acts that you haven’t seen yet – it’s not quite the one horse race you are going to think this is.”
Cowell added that it was difficult to say if he would represent Boyle if she won this year’s Britain’s Got Talent. “It’s difficult to say at this stage because I think we’ve got to treat it as it is, which is a competition,” he said.
His fellow Britain’s Got Talent judge, Piers Morgan, has offered to take Susan Boyle on a date. Morgan recorded a video message on his blog offering a date after she confessed on Saturday’s programme that she had never been kissed.
“I have decided to extend an invitation to Susan to take her out for a meal to a very romantic restaurant with some roses and some fine wines and some glamorous waiters to offer her the chance to break her kissing duck,” Morgan said. “Susan, if you are watching, I am available.”
Congratulations to your continues success Susan Boyle.
