Susan Boyle Goes Glam

By PopEater Staff Posted Aug 5th 2009 11:00AM

After a whirlwind experience on 'Britain's Got Talent,' Susan Boyle has stepped out "refreshed" and glamorous for the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar. While she's still taking "baby steps" with her worldwide fame, Boyle is coming out of her shell with a new makeover and reveals she's busy recording her debut album.

"It will take a bit of adjusting to because I've led a sheltered life, I know. I've got life experience, but mentally I have to adjust. But it's all good. All good," Boyle said.

Is she happy with her 'Talent' experience? "Come on! It goes without saying. Come on now!"

Why she choose to sing 'I Dreamed A Dream'? "I did the audition for [my mother] because she always wanted me to make something of my life, but I had to wait a bit because her death prevented me from singing for a while. I couldn't put my heart into it. So I was singing about wanting things to be like they were before she went. You know, it was a double-edged sword because it was about what I wanted to do, but it was also about wanting to turn back to when she was with me. Powerful stuff."

Was she upset about losing? "I lost to a good group of guys. I think coming in second was good, actually."

Why did she check herself into a clinic after the show? "[I was] overwhelmed. It was a necessary thing. I'm glad I went because I feel really charged now and ready to go."

Why is she continuing her music career? "I don't do it for the money, babe! Who do you think I am? I do it to entertain people. I sing to make people happy."

So has she been kissed yet? "I'm nearly 48 ... and I've never been kissed."

Has she adjusted to her new fame? "The YouTube thing was like a demolition ball. It was just overwhelming -- to find TV stations camped outside your door and the phone ringing 24 hours a day. It was good. But overwhelming. It was too big for anyone to handle."

I think she's lovely now and I think she was lovely before, too. It comes from the inside out, you know! Good for her...I thank God often for bringing this beautiful soul and voice out of hiding and for the awe and wonder of dreams that can actually come true. I love Susan's spirit of kindness and adventure. The best of luck, and I pray God's abundant blessing on her.
