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.”

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.

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

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.”

Susan is currently busy recording her debut album. However, Susan’s older brother Gerry has now revealed that she  is still plagued by her insecurities and is fearful about returning to her old life.

Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, he explained: “Susan absolutely loves the life she is leading now. But it has left her fearful of going back to how things were, living on her own waiting for her singing dream to come true. She has asked me many times: ‘Gerry, what happens if this all stops?’”

Commenting on the incident, Gerry added: “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.”

Susan recently confirmed that she is keen to stay in the public eye following her recent success.
