Susan Boyle for bond ?

Susan Boyle for Bond theme?

The title is I Dreamed A Dream and it would seem to be true, as not only is she on track for this year’s best selling album in the world, she is hotly tipped to be singing the next James Bond theme.

Susan is said to be elated at the prospect of singing for the movie, which stars Daniel Craig and is due out in 2011. It would certainly be another good notch on her amazing rise and she would join previous stars Shirley Bassey’s “Goldfinger”, “Diamonds Are Forever”, and “Moonraker”, Duran Duran’s “A View To A Kill”, Nancy Sinatra’s “You Only Live Twice”, Paul McCartney’s “Live and Let Die”, Tina Turner’s “GoldenEye”, Carly Simon’s “Nobody Does it Better”, Garbage’s “The World Is Not Enough”, Sheena Easton’s “For Your Eyes Only” and Madonna’s “Die Another Day”".

The composed of the classic 007 music we all know, Monty Norman thinks Susan would be a “great” choice.
He said: “They’ll think seriously because she’s got the right kind of sweeping voice”.

Susan Boyle Security

Security around Susan Boyle has be increased by Simon Cowell due to fears about a crazy fan who has become “obsessed” with the Britain‘s Got Talent star.

Susan has been inundated by letters from an crazed American woman who has even turned up at Susan’s home in Scotland.

“Simon is not taking any chances,” a source told The Sun. “This woman is constantly following Susan around the world. It is a middle-aged American woman who has become obsessed with her.

“At first, people thought it was no more than a nuisance. But after what happened to Leona Lewis, who was punched at a recent book signing, everyone is taking extra precautions.”

I feel more refined now

Susan has revealed that she decided to have a makeover after seeing herself on television.

She explained that she was very unhappy about being described as the “Hairy Angel” by the press.

“I was fed up with being called that,” she explained to the Daily Mail. “I didn’t know what I looked like on television until I saw myself on Britain’s Got Talent. I saw this wee wifey with the mad hairdo and the bushy eyebrows and said, ‘Hmm, not really telegenic’.

“So I decided to spruce myself up a bit. When I look in the mirror now, I see this sophisticated lady. I’m still a bit like that wee wifey inside, but more refined in some ways. Would you want to look like the Hairy Angel? I don’t think so.”

pressure cooker

Susan Boyle before

Susan Boyle  felt like she was in a pressure cooker during Britain’s Got Talent.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Susan  explained that she had not been prepared for all the media attention and ended up being admitted to The Priory following the show’s final.

“Everything had built up and I was exhausted,” she said. “There were a lot of press people outside my door, a lot of television people, a lot of people who wanted a piece of me. I thought, ‘God, what’s happening here? I’m a reasonable singer but I never expected that’.

“It got to the stage where I couldn’t even go outside because the media – American television crews too – surrounded the house. I had to draw my blinds, and even after that they started hammering on my door.

“I was quite frightened. I felt very vulnerable, because I was living on my own. There were phonecalls 24 hours a day. They kept me awake for three weeks, until I changed my number. It was just constant. I don’t know anybody else from a talent show who got that.

“It was like being inside a giant pressure cooker, where the lid bubbles up and bubbles up and soon the pressure cooker goes.”

Boyle added that the pressure continued to increase as the show went on, explaining: “It was totally out of control, like a steamroller. It just got bigger and bigger and bigger, until eventually it can flatten you.”

Susan who had  became unwell after finishing in second place due to the enormous pressure, said she had been determined to perform

“I just went through to the dressing room and I don’t know what was wrong,” she said. “I couldn’t even see properly. I hadn’t eaten for about a week, hadn’t slept properly. It was like looking at everything through a glass, and the feeling was one of extreme exhaustion that manifested itself in firing off at everyone.

“It was like the dream had gone pop – a baby that’s had the sweeties taken away. I was just being childish. I so desperately wanted to make a record. I wanted to prove myself a bit more, but maybe I was pushing myself a bit too hard. I felt I’d got so close.

“I don’t remember much else. I just know someone sent for an ambulance and I went to The Priory. I needed to sleep. I was too tired to even think straight. I’m much stronger now, though.”
