New Susan Boyle CD

At the end of next month, the debut CD from Susan Boyle will be released just in time for worldwide Christmas shoppers. "I Dreamed A Dream" has already pre-sold tens of thousands of CD's and more than likely that number will grow to over one million before Susan Boyle's new CD hits the marketplace sometime around Thanksgiving of 2009. Earlier this year, Susan Boyle took the world by storm when she appeared on a UK talent show called "Britain's Got Talent". Then within days of her first appearance on that show, tens of millions of people around the world watched her performance on YouTube. That one audition by Susan Boyle in the spring of 2009 made her an instant star around the world, but it took most of the rest of the year for her to be ready to record and release her first CD to the public.

In hindsight, it turned out that Susan Boyle was not in anyway ready for the worldwide media attention and criticism that would soon follow her through everyday of her life. As the 2009 edition of "Britain's Got Talent" progressed, it became clear to most people that loved watching the first performance of Susan Boyle on television that her entire mind set was starting to shutdown. In the end, Susan Boyle did not win the 2009 edition of "Britain's Got Talent" and soon after the final show aired earlier this year - Susan Boyle found herself hospitalized and in need of mental help to assist her with all the attention she garnered - after going from a regular everyday lady to a person that everyone in the world had heard beautifully sing.

I personally blame the worldwide tabloid news media for at first helping to create Susan Boyle and then toward the end of the 2009 season of "Britain's Got Talent" driving her to a nervous breakdown. Most people know that the tabloid news media only builds unknown people up, so that at some future date they can drag them back down to Earth. Unfortunately, Susan Boyle did not understand the inter-workings of the tabloid news media and she most certainly did not image the fact that what she thought were new friends that always wanted to talk to her when she was first discovered - would turn on her at the first sign of trouble and start laughing at her and trying to cause her pain. Sadly, Susan Boyle had to learn about the tabloid news media at the same time when she was getting her first taste of worldwide fame.

From all outward appearances and from the people who know Susan Boyle the best, she is now a more stable woman with a bright and hopefully long lasting singing career in her future. When Susan Boyle showed up on "America's Got Talent" about one month ago to sing, I was moved to tears as she sang a song from her new CD called "Wild Horses". If the rest of Susan Boyle's new CD titled "I Dreamed A Dream" contains songs that are half as good as "Wild Horses", then she is likely to sell tens of millions of CD's around the world before the end of this year. I still love the voice and the personal story of Susan Boyle and I wish only the best for her in the future. Hopefully, professional mental help and close friends that understand how the tabloid news media works - will shelter this fine woman from future media attacks, so everyone will have the benefit of hearing Susan Boyle sing for many years to come.
