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."

I am buying this CD. It has all sorts of beautiful Christmas carols on it too. I don't know a better singer and kind soul than Susan Boyle.

She's looking good and sings as beautiful as she did the first day the world her sing. But I sense a little too much Enya style orchestration making her voice seem secondary with too many distant scenery camera shots. And not enough close ups of Susan with some clever video editing. Hopefully Susan's next vid will be a knock-out!

I love Susan Boyle, her voice and the melody of the song. The video was stunning but the lyrics of the song are so trite that they do not match the beautiful melody or the scenery. This song would be absolutely beautiful if the lyrics were more beautiful. Geez, they went to the zoo and then to a movie. And that was the perfect day. And you keep me hanging on. A lot of people could have made better lyrics.

i so wanted the video to knock my socks off..... it was very disppointing.... first, the song had terrible lyrics.... the chorus was great but the rest of the song was endless.... as far as the video was concerned, they kept showing her in a darkened swamp and then a forest where i thought the hobbit would show up.... the rest of the video lacked any view that was inspirational.... i love susan but whoever is handling her is missing the mark.....

I love how human her voice sounds but this record's a bit cluttered and overproduced...wonder what Reed thinks of this.

When Susan sings she is able to bring out the full emotion of the words in a song then add to that her clear and beautiful voice and you have just experienced a magical moment. Down to two days before I finally get to hear her 2nd CD!! Susan you are beautiful and I am looking forward to many more videos and CDs from you. Thank you!
