Susan meets “Susan’s Search” winner Amber Stassi
7th September 2010
On September 2nd, Susan and Amber finally met face to face at Rokstone studios where they recorded their forthcoming duet.
Susan had called Amber two weeks ago to inform Amber that she had, after searching through thousands of entries, selected Amber as her Susan Search winner. After the phone call Amber said, “I can’t believe I just spoke to Susan Boyle. She was so sweet to me. And I can’t believe that I have won this competition. Thank you Susan.”
Since that phone call, Amber’s life has been turned upside down. She now has thousands of mentions on the internet, news crews are chomping at the bit to interview her and she has received thousands of good wishes from Susan’s fans. “I got a beautiful book that the fans had delivered to Syco for me. Over one hundred and fifty people had signed it and left messages of support. I was really overcome. Thank you , all.”
Amber’s meeting with Susan in London this week was a warm affair. Says Amber, “Susan was such a warm and lovely lady, she was very encouraging to me and we really laughed a lot in the studio. I was very nervous about it really but once I had met Susan she put me at my ease we got along famously.”
Says Susan, “ It was lovely finally meeting Amber, she is a very talented singer, there is something so warm about her voice. She was very impressive in the studio and I think our voices harmonized well together. I really hope people will like what we’ve done and I hope everyone will join me in wishing Amber much success in the future”
Amber is staying in London until tomorrow when she will fly back to her three children and her job as a medic in Brewerton NY but not before doing some all important sightseeing. “I am here with my brother and his partner and we are definitely taking in some of the sights. We have been on the London Eye which was beautiful and we are planning Buckingham palace – it’s always been my dream to see the changing of the guard.”
This is Amber’s first visit to London. On her first evening she and her family went for dinner at the famous River Café in Hammersmith west London where she dined at a table next to Gordon Ramsey. Tonight she is looking for London’s Best Burger! “I love London. I have always wanted to come. It seems so cute and small compared to New York – and so busy! The architecture is beautiful, every detail is so wonderful. I have really enjoyed my time here and hope I can come back soon.”
CONGRATULATIONS AMBER, WINNER OF THE SUSAN SEARCH.
