As the release date for Susan Boyle’s new album,  Someone To Watch Over Me, comes ever closer (November 7th, 2011), Susan has been busy promoting her new album.

This Friday at 9pm, ITV will be airing the document Susan Boyle: An Unlikely Superstar. The presenter, Osca Humphreys, spent three months with Susan, which I am told has resulted in a truly personal view of Susan and her life. The documentary is an hour long and during the filming Susan openly talks about her hopes and fears, her fans, and  what her ideal man would be like. She admits that she is sometimes lonely:

“I would be lying if I said otherwise. I often say how lonely I am. You feel it sometimes at night. You just hope the job that you’ve got wins you new friends and maybe one day that vital person.”

Last Sunday, Susan was exclusively interviewed by Eleanor Mills for the  Sunday Times Magazine. Susan talked about her life and a recently found fame.

Susan has also been interviewed by OK! Magazine, which  is out from today (1st November) in the UK.

In addition, Susan has appearances planned in the US. She has flown to New York to perform on The View and The Today Show, then its off to LA to meet up with her friend and supporter Piers Morgan, to be interviewed by him on his CNN show.

After that, Susan is off to Australia to perform on The X Factor and meet fans, and maybe, fingers crossed, get chance to do some sightseeing.

Susan Boyle treated the audience of America’s Dancing With The Stars to her version of the 1955 Righteous Brothers song, Unchained Melody, on Tuesday night, and you can watch the clip below.

The song will be on Susan’s forthcoming third album, Someone To Watch Over Me, which is out on November 1st.

Susan said of the song: ”Well it was first made famous by the Righteous Brothers during the 60′s.

“It’s about a broken relationship, but it’s a love song. I really like the different arrangement of this version. I’m sure people will see the name and think ‘Oh that again!’ But this one’s totally different and is quite surprising.”

The cover of Susan Boyle’s new album was revealed today. Susan is staring directly at the camera with a hint of smile, and she is wearing a smart purple wool coat, a black top and sapphire drop earrings.

The album, called Someone To Watch Over Me, which is scheduled to be released on November 1st, is now available to be pre-ordered on Amazon for delivery on November 1st.

Susan sang a track from the album, You Have to Be There, on America’s Got Talent a couple of weeks ago.

Susan Boyle is to star in her own reality TV show, which will demonstrate how little her life has changed since she found fame on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009. The cameras will follow Susan around in her hometown of Blackburn, showing her going shopping for groceries andattending church.

The film crew have been filming Susan since January, and included in the footage is backstage before her performance on China’s Got Talent and recording the charity duet I Know Him So Well with Peter Kay.

A source told the Daily Record: “Despite the fact she’s had this enormous success in record sales, she wanted to show her fans she’s still the same Susan.

“She still lives in the same house and has a normal life.

“Since the beginning of 2011, she has been filmed for a fly-on-the-wall documentary about her life.”

The program will be aired on ITV1 just before the release of her new album Someone to Watch Over Me on November 7th.

Susan Boyle’s third album will be released on November 1st. Entitled To Watch Over Me, Susan performed a track that appears on the album You Have to Be There on last night’s America’s Got Talent.

The track has an excellent pedigree. It was written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus and is taken from the Swedish musical that they wrote, called Kristina.

Good luck with the single, Susan, but you won’t need it. It will be a massive hit. And whilst you’re singing Abba songs, why not sing “Story of a Heart” that Benny Andersson wrote a couple of years ago. I think that would be a massive hit for you too.

Susan Boyle’s life story is set to be turned into a stage musical, according to the BBC. Elaine C Smith, who resembles Susan, is set to play Ms Boyle. Elaine C Smith is best known for her role as Rab C Nesbitt’s wife Mary.

Susan said: “I never thought my life story would end up on the stage.

“A lot has happened in two years and it is a very exciting prospect. I hope everyone enjoys the show and I promise there will be a few surprises along the way.”

The show will be called, unsurprisingly, “I Dreamed a Dream” and is set to tour for at least six months next year. It will be produced by Michael Harrison, who said: : “She is an inspiring woman and her story is an excellent one to tell – someone with a raw talent who surprises the world and overturns all the odds to make a new life for herself.

“It’s got all the qualities of a fairytale, but with the added bonus of being absolutely true.”

The show will open in Newcastle at the Theatre Royal and tickets will go on sale next month. The tour is currently scheduled for the UK, US and Australia, according to the Daily Express.
