Susan Boyle: living the dream
She was the middle-aged, Scottish cat lady in sensible shoes who broke every rule in the reality television rule book. Susan Boyle’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent came as a complete shock to a culture obsessed with physical attractiveness and presentation.
More than ten years on from her unforgettable rendition of I Dreamed A Dream from the musical Les Misérables, Susan is heading out on tour to do what she loves most of all: singing to an audience.
So what will she be singing on the tour?
“There’ll be a mixture of songs from the latest album and a lot of new stuff. It won’t be as classic as last time – it’ll be more informal. There’ll be songs to get people up and dancing in the aisles. It’s fun!”
Naturally she will sing I Dreamed A Dream: “It’s my signature tune. I have to include that. That’s what it’s all about and how I got there in the first place. People expect it.”
