Susan Boyle

Susan Magdalane Boyle (1961-

Congratulations to Susan Boyle, a Scottish coal miner's

daughter! In November she released her CD,

"I Dreamed a Dream." In the first three weeks, it sold

over 1.8 million copies in the U.S, and will continue to

set records throughout the Christmas season.

Prior to appearing on "Britians Got Talent" last year,

her singing occurred either in church or in karaoke

pubs. Nine days after her appearance, her videos

were seen over 100 million times on the internet.

But wealth and fame have not turned Susan's head;

she still lives in the four-room family home in Balckburn.

When asked what she was going to buy herself, she

said she needed a new refrigerator and sofa.
