For her first-ever music video, 'Britain's Got Talent' break-out star Susan Boyle offers a cinematic journey through stunning natural settings for her cover of rocker Lou Reed's 1972 classic 'Perfect Day' -- one of the tracks featured on her new album, 'The Gift,' in stores November 9. Directed by Reed himself, the video was a way of showing support for the Scottish siren after his not-so-favorable reaction over her version of his trademark track in September. Reed says of the project, "I wanted to create a beautiful and intimate piece shot in Susan's native Scotland and she quickly agreed." And that's just what he did. Expect sweeping shots of lush forests and gorgeous sunrises.
Boyle's second album, 'The Gift,' is a seasonal collection of songs including Christmas classics like 'The First Noel' and 'O Holy Night'.' Boyle herself says the music is meant to "touch hearts." "Music has always been a companion to me, particularly on special occaisons" Boyle explains. "I wanted there to be a mix of songs that would flow with all our moods this holiday season. As much as the season is a time for reflection, it is also a time for fun and enjoyment with those closest to us."

SHE IS A NOVELTY AND THATS ALL. HER VOICE IS NOT THAT GREAT IF YOU REALY LISTEN
George - You don't know what you're talking about! Her voice has already been analyzed by the experts. They concluded that when she sang I Dreamed a Dream on Britain's Got Talent, there were no technical flaws, not even one, in it. So shut your pie-hole!
The visual was awesome, the song never got off the ground. I can't imagine listening to that again, no matter the voice.
Susan Boyle still give me chills and makes my little parrot whistle (which she [parrot] does to all "excellent" music). Best of fortune to Susan who continues to grow and blossom! Such a gift to the world and a wonderful success story.
SUSAN...THE WORLD IS A BETTER PLACE WITH YOUR MUSIC! SO GLAD YOU ENTERED THE BRITIANS GOT TALENT..SO NOW WE ALL GET TO ENJOY YOUR BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!
The video's great because Lou Reed is The Man! Susan does a great job but personally I prefer Lou's original.
It would be nice if they used the right word. You might want to watch the video not what it!!!

Amen!
She is a miracle. That is what she is. I Love her voice. She has an innocence about her, and that sweet voice, it makes her beautiful.
I AGREE ALSO..HER VOICE MUST BE WHAT THE ANGELS SOUND LIKE IN HEAVEN. THANK YOU SUSAN FOR SHARING YOUR GIFT FROM GOD WITH US..HE IS PLEASED AND SO ARE WE!!!!!!
I totally agree. God Bless Ms. Boyls
I WAS IN AWE AS I WATCHED SUSAN BOYLE FOR THE FIRST TIME. SHE IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED PERSON. I AM COLLECTING HER MUSIC AND I LOVE HER.
Could not agree more. In most of todays videos all you see are a lot of half naked women "dancing" around to music you can't understand a word they are saying and they want to call it music. Finally something that you can let your child watch and not be worried.
Amen!
