Simon Cowell thinks that Susan Boyle debut album ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ will sell millions when it is released in November this year.

For a a time Susan future seemed uncertain after she was admited to The Priory clinic after coming second on Britain’s Got Talent earlier on this year.

Susan who had been the favourite to win after becoming a youtube sensation, came second to dance troupe Diversity in the final.

Speaking about susan , Simon told a US TV show: “I think at the point where she didn’t win, she was afraid everything would be taken away from her and she was going to go back to that little house. She didn’t want to go back to that life.”

“After all the dust settled, she was happy. She is stunning on record. She’s going to sell millions of records this year.”

Amanda then added more insult to inury by joking further about Susan Boyle’s appearance by saying that she looks like a man.

Louis Walsh on Susan Boyle

Louis Walsh has spoke out and stated that he does not know if Susan Boyle can have a long lasting music career.

The X Factor judge speaking to the Daily Mail said that Susan Boyle might struggle with the trappings of her fame.

Walsh said: “I don’t know if she’s going to have a big, long career. I don’t think she’s able to cope with the pressure.

“People don’t realise that they become public property, and people knock on their doors and their family history is going to come out. It’s 24/7 and you have to be born to do it.”

He added: “She’s got great appeal and she can sing, and people like her. She’ll have a massive album as long as she works and shows up to the recording.

“Simon Cowell has a great record company; she’s got the best machine behind her.”

Susan is planning a number of US concerts ahead of the release of her debut LP.

Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle is going to buy her council house in Blackburn.

Susan has lived in the semi-detached property since she was a baby,  but was never able to afford a mortgage until now.

Susan has been recording her debut album in London recently after being snapped up by Simon Cowell‘s SyCo record label and is currently staying in an upmarket flat in the capital.

Susan’s  older brother Gerry told the Daily Record: “Susan walked into the local council office and told them that although she was living in London, she didn’t want them to rent her house to anyone else.

“I think people were a bit shocked to see her but they told her they had no plans to let it go to anyone else – and now she wants to buy it. She will never forget her roots.”

Discussing the other big changes in his sister’s life, he added: “She has been given a mobile phone for the first time but can only make calls. She hasn’t got her head round texting yet.”

Simon Cowell recently promised that Boyle will “surprise a lot of people” with her debut disc.

Amanda Holden – I predicted Boyle’s breakdown

amanda holden

Amanda Holden has claimed that she predicted Susan Boyle’s would have a breakdown days before it occurred even though she earlier stated ‘Susan Boyle has no underlying mental issues’

Susan Boyle was checked into The Priory rehab clinic after coming second to Diversity in the show’s final.  The shows producers later confirmed that she was “exhausted and emotionally drained”.

Reflecting on the whole event , Holden told the Daily Star: “I was worried Susan wouldn’t be able to handle it. Then, a week later she checked into The Priory. I was like Mystic Mandy.”

Susan Boyle eventually left the after five days and was instantly snapped up by Simon Cowell‘s record label. She is now currently working on her debut album.

Simon Cowell recently stated  that Susan’s breakdown came because she “didn’t know how to cope with losing”.

Susan’s brother  Gerry has agreed with the music mogul’s view, commenting: “Susan doesn’t take rejection very well. That’s not to say she doesn’t bounce back, she does. It’s a lack of confidence and a case of getting overworked up. With Britain’s Got Talent, it all just became too much.”
