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.”

Speaking to Oprah Winfrey he said that the moment Susan appeared on Britain’s Got Talent it was the necessary wake up call that he needed.

Speaking about his own big ego, he commented that it often got in the way of finding new talent

“When I watched the clip back, I actually hated myself. We’re all sneering, we’re not listening. I didn’t like what I saw. It was a wake-up call, and I was happy she made us look stupid, because we deserved it.”

Simon also went on to say that the reason he wants to launch The X Factor in America is because he enjoys “the buzz” – nothing to do with the big fat pay checks then Simon huh?

“I remember Fantasia singing ‘Summertime’ on American Idol, and for three minutes, I lost myself,” he said. “You want to be part of something people are talking about. I love that feeling.”

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

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

Magnificent: Susan Boyle performed a triumphant new version of I Dreamed a Dream at the final but it was not quite enough to win the public vote for the top prize

Susan Boyle is going to step up security at her home in Scotland after the amazing singer was disturbed by intruders in her garden as she enjoyed her Christmas break.
Susan spotted two people creeping around her back garden late in the  night – luckily they fled when she opened the curtains.

Her elder brother Gerry is now trying to urge her to consider moving to a more secure area.
He says, “I hate to think what might have happened if they had broken into the house when she was on her own. They could have had knives on them or anything. “Susan rang me to tell me she’d had intruders like it was an everyday occurrence.

“She hadn’t mentioned the incident to anyone or even reported it to the police. When she casually dropped it into the conversation I was really shocked. This can’t go on any longer. She now has to realise that living in this small house is no longer suitable and more importantly not safe for her”.
Meanwhile, concerned sibling Gerry insists there is nothing in his sister’s home that’s worth taking and that Susan has installed a panic alarm that connects her straight to the local police. This incident comes after Simon Cowell hired security guards for the singer in November

He adds, “At present she has not seen a penny of her fortune but knows it will soon be coming her way. The problem is she can’t get her head round the extreme wealth that is coming and the implications for her future. “People will think because she is about to become very rich she will have all kinds of valuables scattered around the house.

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”.
