The Susan Search as it has become known is to search for a new star – and the winner will duet with Susan on her new album which will be released in the autumn

“Last year my dream of becoming a recording artist came true after auditioning on Britain’s Got Talent. Since then, I’ve had an absolutely fantastic time. It’s been a real gift to me and now I would like to pass on the gift to someone else.

“There are a lot of people out there who wouldn’t have the confidence or perhaps the means to enter a big competition like Britain’s Got Talent.

“So this might be a lot less daunting for some people as they can record the song in the privacy of their own home. I’m hoping that people who have always wanted to sing will give it a try. I wish you all good luck.”

Susan Boyle’s second cousin Kerry Anne Boyle auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent and is being touted as the new Subo against Janey Cutler who has been nicknamed Nubo

Daily Mail Paul Revoir printed

Forget SuBo, meet TwoBo! Now Susan’s cousin stuns Britain’s Got Talent judges

“Stuns” soon becomes:

Kerry-Anne’s performance of Sting’s Fields Of Gold received a somewhat mixed response from the judges.

So what do you think – I have my own view but I will let you make up your own mind but here is what the judges said

Amanda Holden:

“It is clearly genetic, you’ve got the Boyle factor.”

One website Translation: You’re fat and ordinary, like Susan Boyle, yet have made it onto the telly.

Piers Morgan:“It was an incredibly good performance.”

Translation again from said website : You’re fat and ordinary and can still remember the words to a song.

Simon Cowell “I think that without the connection with Susan there wouldn’t really be much interest to be honest.”

Susan Boyle gave everyone a scare when she collapsed at Heathrow Airport. Susan was waiting for a flight to France when she fainted in the Club lounge after overheating.

Susan had to receive medical attention but was fine and was able to get on her flight on time.

Arriving in Nice Susan had to cross into Italy to perform at the 60th San Remo Festival.

Witness’s reported “Susan did faint at Heathrow as she overheated in the lounge because it was so warm. However, she is fine now and gave a fantastic performance at the festival.”

This latest airport incident comes one month after Subo got a little excited at Heathrow’s Terminal 5 and had been asked to calm down by British Airways staff

Susan Boyle's cat Pebbles

Susan Boyle has confessed in an interview to the Italian edition of Grazia to using Botox.
Subo confirmed she had lost some weight and splashed out on a new wardrobe full of cloths as well as getting her teeth whitened – all to enhance her stunning new look

‘I haven’t changed from an ugly duckling to a swan but I do try and take care of myself,’ she is quoted as telling the Italian edition of Grazia.
‘I have a new hairdresser and I have discovered Botox, as well as getting my teeth whitened. I’ve lost weight for my own self esteem. It’s all been very important. I was never able to buy myself shoes or nice dresses or go to the hairdresser,’ she says.
‘I have the closet of a star. Before I had to save and recycle clothes – for example, the outfit I wore on Britain’s Got Talent I had bought for my brother’s wedding.’

Quizzed if she would like a boyfriend she stated “‘That would be nice. To be honest, I have had a few offers but at the moment I am just so busy. For the time being, I have my cat Pebbles to keep me company, he is the most reliable companion.’  – Susan Boyle’s cat Pebbles is known to be adored by Subo.

When speaking about her visit to  Los Angeles she said “there were thousands of fans chanting my name. I stayed in the hotel where Frank Sinatra brought his girlfriends and where Grace Kelly dived into the pool,’
‘But the most beautiful thing was hearing the affection of all those people.’
Interestingly Sony has denied Susan has had an interview with Grazia and insisted she had never used Botox

amanda holden

Amanda Holden , the Britain’s Got Talent judge has filmed a comedy scene which sees her impersonating former contestant Susan Boyle.

According to the newpaper The Sun, 38 year old Amanda transformed herself into Susan Boyle by donning a fuzzy wig, gold-coloured dress and facial hair for her appearance on Alan Carr‘s Chatty Man show.

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

She is quoted as saying: “I think Susan looks a bit like Eddie Large facially, or Piers Morgan with a wig.

“That’s obviously why she loved him, because they always say you fall in love with someone you end up looking like.”

In April this year, Amanda Holden defended Susna Boyle’s image by insisting that she doesn’t need to be a “glamourpuss” to be successful.

Personally I find the hole thing out of taste

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.

Susan Boyle has announced that she no longer wants Scotland to be her permanent home.

Susan had previously sparked rumours that she was keen to stick close to her roots after making plans to buy her council house in Blackburn, West Lothian.

Recently though in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine, Susan confirmed: “I’ll go back to visit but you have to move on sometime.”

It’s believed that Susan has lived in her Scottish home since she was a baby

She has since secured fans across the world after becoming a worldwide sensation and is currently working on her debut album.

Susan also added: “It does feel unreal. It will take a bit of adjusting to because I’ve led a sheltered life, I know.”

As Susan shot to fame,  Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden vowed she would not have a ‘Hollywood makeover’, stating it would spoil her lovable appeal.

Now it seems Susan Boyle has had plans of her own if these photos from the U.S. fashion magazine Harper’s Bazaar are anything to go by.

Susan wears a variety of designer outfits for the shoot, which was her first since the ITV talent show.

Susan Boyle before

Susan Boyle now

A behind the scenes look was broadcast on U.S. TV yesterday 5 August , showing a very delighted Susan announcing she ‘felt like a movie star’.

Unfortunatly Susan will not be on the cover of the magazine, but instead will feature in a large spread inside the September issue entitled Susan Boyle: Unsung Hero.

Smiling Susan said: ‘It really made me feel like a Hollywood actress. Had my hair done up.’

Susan Boyle new image

In April,  Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden dismissed the idea of Susan getting a new look.

‘I won’t let Simon Cowell take her to his dentist and I certainly won’t let her near his hairdresser,’ she said then.

‘She needs to stay exactly as she is because that’s the reason we all love her. She just looks like anybody who could live on your street.

‘The minute we turn her into a glamourpuss is when it’s spoilt. For now we’ll keep her exactly as she is because that’s why we’ve all fallen in love with her.

‘I think it’s the underdog thing.’

Susan Boyle is delighted with her new look

Clearly Susan, and fellow judge / owner of her record label, Simon Cowell, disagree.

Laura Brown, Harper’s Bazaar’s special projects editor was interviewed on NBC‘s Today Show.

‘The idea behind the shoot was a very, very simple one,’ she said.

‘It was to take gorgeous, glamorous and sensitive portraits of her. This was her first magazine photo shoot, so you can’t do too much too soon.’

Susan Boyle seemed to relish the attention

Susan Boyle who as we all know became an overnight sensation when her audition for the show was put on YouTube. Hundreds of millions logging on to watch and here her sing.’She came on to the stage and just transfixed us all,’ said Laura Brown.

‘She’s become a hero to a lot of people with dreams of stardom, or who maybe have a talent but have been too scared to express it.

‘And I think everyone’s heart soared when they saw her sing that day.

‘I think Susan is getting more and more used to being in the spotlight and being on television and being photographed.

Susan Boyle said she enjoyed the attention and her stunning new look

‘Since April, you’ve seen her look just day to day become more polished and refined. And she’s growing in her confidence with what she’ll wear and how she’ll be perceived.

‘She actually did a little bit of moonwalking in her Giuseppe Zanotti heels at one point.

‘What we did on our shoot was give her a little bit of a haircut, and that was it, and a little bit of a curl.

‘And actually the shape of her hair is great. She’s got a really lovely curl to it.

‘So we just tidied it up a little bit and paired it with some natural makeup, and she looked great.’

Susan Boyle having a great time

Alan Carr

Alan Carr has revealed that he would like to team up with Susan Boyle for a new TV show.

Alan named Susan as the perfect replacement for his former screen partner Justin Lee Collins when interviewed for Star magazine.

Carr explained: “I always get on with women more than men, so maybe me and Amanda Holden or me and SuBo. Now that Richard & Judy are gone it could be Alan & Su.”

He added that Susan is also welcome to appear on his Channel 4 show ‘Chatty Man‘ anytime as a guest.

He also commented: “I enjoyed Britain’s Got Talent, but it got a bit scary when Susan hitched up her skirt. She’d have to come on with someone – I don’t mean a carer – but maybe the dancing granddad. We’d clump them together and get some sense out of them.”

Susan is yet to coment
