Returning to Britain’s Got Talent was a highlight. It was very exciting to be going back to the stage where it all began three years ago. Singing You’ll See from my first album, I Dreamed A Dream, well I felt it was quite apt. It was a really enjoyable experience and I’m very glad I did it. My highlight was meeting the gorgeous Pudsey. What an amazing dog and I’m very very pleased he won. Ashleigh was an absolute delight and so talented to be able to train her dog to that incredible standard.

On Sunday it was off to Windsor to perform for the Queen. Another dream ticked off my wish list! I performed Mull of Kintyre, written by Paul McCartney as part of the Jubilee celebrations. To say it was an honour was an understatement. I have such respect for our Monarch, she is the backbone to this country and to be a part of celebrating 60 years as our Queen, it’s a moment that I’ll never forget.

The best moment for me was meeting the Queen herself and Dame Helen Mirren, it’s a memory I shall cherish.

A special congratulations to my record label, Columbia in the USA for winning the Grammy with Tony Bennett’s album. They are a super team to work with, very talented and deserved to win this award.

I am so sorry that I have not written sooner and been delayed in wishing you all a very happy 2012. I’ve been quite busy over the past few weeks so let me begin where I left off, Christmas.

I spent christmas with my brother Gerry. I had a wonderful time and was very spoilt by everyone. My favourite gifts this year were a big teddy bear and a christmas jumper that’s a bit loud. Thank you so much to you all for the gifts and cards you sent to me. I was very touched by your kindness, sorry I can’t respond to each and everyone of you individually. I am trying!

Christmas isn’t Christmas without the Pantomime and Cinderella at the Kings Theatre, Edinburgh was great and extremely funny- Allan Stewart, Scotland’s most popular dame was hysterical and Grant Stott was great to. I always enjoy a good panto.

New Year’s Eve I spent with friends, we had a lovely meal together and waited for the bells at midnight. It was a great party and good to see in an exciting new year full of expectations with my oldest and dearest friends.

2012 has started off well. I’ve been choosing songs and ideas for the new album which I’m very excited about. So far I’ve come up with 86 songs that are personal favourites as well as looking at new material. I really enjoy the beginning of a new album, I like the creativity and team work as well as asking my fans opinion- your thoughts are very important to me.

Elaine C Smith and I have been discussing more of the musical, which starts in March and I’m really looking forward to the stage shows and being a part of a big ensemble cast.

At the beginning of January I was able to escape for a lovely few days to Ireland to visit friends. We had a really good time. I managed to visit the place, Lough Swilly, where John Newton was inspired to write Amazing Grace after being shipwrecked. This song was on my first album, I Dreamed A Dream and it was a really special day especially with my connection to that song. I had lunch at a lovely little country pub and what started with one person at the bar ended up with over 40 people joining us.

2012 is going to an exciting year and I will try to keep my updates as regular and interesting as possible, I don’t want to bore you all! I will definitely be writing once a fortnight but if there is any exciting news then I will write more and share it here first on the website.

“Estoy absolutamente encantado por Susan. Es una estrella total y estoy orgulloso de ella”, ha dicho Simon Cowell, mientras Susan Boyle afirma: “El nuevo nº1 es una fantástica noticia. Quiero dar las gracias a todos aquellos que me ayudaron a hacer todo esto posible. Jamás pensé que podría suceder algo parecido y lo celebraré con champagne. Es maravilloso”.

No olvides que “Someone to Watch Over Me”  se publicará el próximo 8 de noviembre y que puedes reservar ya tu copia en la Tienda Oficial de Susan Boyle.

Un álbum perfecto para disfrutar por ti mismo, además de ser el regalo perfecto para familiares y amigos, especialmente ahora que la Navidad está cada vez más cerca…

Producido por Steve Mac (Il Divo, Leona Lewis, Toni Braxton, Kelly Clarkson, Kate Winslet, Paul Potts, Westlife, Mariah Carey, Ronan Keating…), Someone To Watch Over Me es un magnífico disco contemporáneo e intergeneracional. Incluye clásicos como Unchained Melody (que popularizó The Righteous Brothers) o Both Sides Now (de la gran Joni Mitchell), junto a otros temas emblemáticos como Enjoy The Silence (Depeche Mode) o Mad World (Tears For Fears), que en su voz cobran una nueva identidad. El álbum también ofrece canciones inéditas: This Will Be The Year (de Emeli Sande y Naughty Boy) y Return (de Steve Mac y Wayne Hector).

Someone To Watch Over Me anuncia una nueva etapa musical para Susan Boyle. Las nuevas canciones y los clásicos se combinan con tratamientos que van desde lo etéreo a lo dramático, siempre con la magnífica voz que ha conquistado el mundo. La elección de las canciones ha sido inspirada por las cartas que Susan recibió procedentes de todo el mundo. “La gente me escribía de canciones que me gustaban y quise reflejarlo en el disco. Escribían sobre amor y pena, sobre tiempos felices y otros no tanto. Las canciones reflejan esas emociones y experiencias vitales”.

“Quiero agradecer a todos mis fans el apoyo y el cariño que me han mostrado. Este disco es una muestra de mi gratitud. La reflexión es necesaria porque hace mirar hacia uno mismo y sus circunstancias y esto se refleja en las canciones del álbum. A veces, una canción nos devuelve un recuerdo”, dice Susan Boyle de Someone To Watch Over Me, un disco que contiene las siguientes canciones:

01 You Have To Be There
02 Unchained Melody
03 Enjoy The Silence
04 Both Sides Now
05 Lilac Wine
06 Mad World
07 Autum Leaves
08 This Will Be The Year
09 Return
10 Someone To Watch Over Me

“Estoy muy contenta porque el auditorio disfrutó con la canción”, dijo Susan Boyle tras su actuación. “Me gusta interpretar You Have To Be There, aunque estaba algo nerviosa por ser un estreno. En America’s Got Talent despegué con mi primer álbum y ha sido maravilloso regresar al programa y sentir el apoyo de todos”.

You Have To Be There es una canción que estará incluída en su próximo álbum y que fue compuesta por Benny Andersson y Bjorn Ulvaeus, el legendario tándem de Abba, para el musical Kristina, que se estrenó con gran éxito en 1995 en Suecia y en 2007 en Broadway.

El tercer álbum de Susan Boyle, Someone to Watch Over Me, se publicará el 7 de noviembre de 2011 y significa el regreso de la emblemática cantante con canciones que recorren varios estilos para llegar a diferentes generaciones. Susan ha elegido expresamente los temas por su capacidad de emocionar, inspirándose en las cartas y mensajes de sus fans que le han llegado de todo el mundo.

The superstar Scot is taking time out from recording her 3rd album to celebrate the big 50 with an intimate private party for her family and close friends in Scotland.

When asked about reaching this landmark birthday, Susan jokingly laughed, “Well there’s not much I can do about it. But I’m happy to be here and will be growing older gracefully”

She went on to say; “I’ve had some wonderful moments throughout my life, especially over the past two years and I would like to thank everyone for their kindness and encouragement, I wouldn’t be here without it and I appreciate it every single day.”

Simon Cowell said; “Happy 50th Birthday Susan. You are an amazing lady and I hope you have a fantastic day.”

Many thanks,
SB HQ.

Susan comentó: “Up against wonderful artists like Lady GaGa and Katy Perry I didn’t expect this for a moment but how fantastic just to be recognised like this with a nomination on my first album”.
