Susan Boyle to sing at the Whitehouse?
Susan Boyle has been invited to sing for Barack Obama at The Whitehouse once she has recovered from her “nervous exhaustion”, according to a report in today’s Daily Record. Mr Obama is hoping that Susan will sing at his Fourth of July party in Washington.
Susan told her family yesterday:”I’m tired and a wee bit homesick.
“But I really hope I can still live the dream.”
Susan had apparently feared that her hopes of a singing career were dashed when she failed to win the BGT final, but her brother John promised her that this was not the case.
Speaking to the Daily Record, John said: “Susan has been invited to the celebrations at the White House with the president.
“So as you can see,her dream is still very much alive. In fact, it’s only just starting.
“Susan is exhausted, that’s all there is to it. It’s no surprise – she has gone from a small town in West Lothian to being famous around the world.
“She’s been battered non-stop for the last seven weeks and it has taken its toll. But she’ll be looking forward now to the Fourth of July.”
This invitation is Susan Boyle’s second one from the Obamas. She was asked to attend a celebrity dinner in May where Barack Obama was the guest of honour, but was she was too busy with Britain’s Got Talent to attend.
Meanwhile, Susan continues to recover in the Priory. Another of? her brothers, Gerry,? has said that she is recovering well, dismissing the scare as? “an anxiety attack”.
Gerry said: “She was exhausted when we spoke on Sunday but she sounds a lot better today, a bit happier and more like herself.
“She was a wee bit anxious yesterday and a bit fatigued. She’s also a wee bit homesick and she misses her cat, Pebbles.”
Gerry also said that Susan had been worrying that finishing second in the BGT competition, and not singing for the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance, would derail her singing career before it had started.
However, Gerry told her: “This is not the end of your career – this is the start. This show has just been a launchpad.
“The world is waiting for Susan to release a record. I wonder how many established acts would love the opportunities she will have.”
“Susan has felt under fire and in those circumstances anyone could lose it for a while.
“Hopefully soon she will be able to relax and release a record so the world can enjoy her voice again. But her health and happiness come first.”
Susan’s family are hoping that she will leave the Priory soon and go home for a break. Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for TalkbackThames said that it was too early to say whether Ms Boyle would join the Britain’s Got Talent live tour which is due to start on June 12th.
“We’ll have to wait and see how she’s feeling,” she added.
Judge Piers Morgan has also been reassuring Susan that she still has a sparkling career to look forward to.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown also showed concern for Susan Boyle, speaking to Piers Morgan and Simon Cowell on Sunday evening to ask about her well being.
He said: “I hope she is OK. She is a really, really nice person.”

I was really disappointed when Susan didn’t win, I really felt for her, and I felt even sadder when I found out she was ill. I hope she gets better soon, and that she has all the success she has dreamed for as she really deserves it- well done, and god bless you Susan!
Chin up Susan, you still have a great voice, hope you get a record deal.
Never mind the small minded press.
The media needs to be put on notice to keep a respectful distance – we all know how poor Princess Diana’s life ended: Any tabloid reporters who harrass Susan will lose their jobs- because we will boycott the publishers. This is not a threat- it’s a promise that will be kept.
Have faith in yourself, Susan. You have a rare talent and here in the USA, it is so wonderful to hear a beautiful singer such as yourself. Coming from Scotland, why should anyone doubt it. Someday I hope to see Scotland, not the big cities, but the small villages like yours. Until then, please bring us the warmth and love through your wonderful personality and talent that is so rare in the world today. We love you here in the States!
Susan you are fantastic we are waiting to hear more of you,please look after yourself,Scotland is a wonderful place been there often and the people are great
Cheers S.L.( Waiting for your first album)
Susan, we can hardly wait to see you here in the United States, but whatever you do, do not go and see Obama! He will try to steel your money to hand out to other people.
