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 looks like she is in pain and the girl has gained some weight. She can still sing although I don't like this song.

This is such a beautiful video. Susan has a beautiful angelic voice. It's a shame no one noticed it before. It took the Idol show to discover her. I am definitely going to buy her CD.

Glad we are all able to have an openion. I disagree with yours.
She has a beautiful voice. But there is a lot of music I don't like either.
Seems like you are the only one who feels that way.
This was a very beautiful video and song. Susan looks great, sounds great. It was very inspiring.
