Susan Boyle is to perform a duet with Andrea Bocelli, according to a report in today’s Sun. Susan will be joining Andrea Bocelli on a new ITV television show “Pop Star To Opera Star”, where pop stars compete against each other by singing arias.

Andrea Bocelli has sold 70 million records worldwide and he has been a mentor on American Idol. However, Susan Boyle’s album prevented Bocelli from reaching the number one spot on the Billboard 200 earlier this month.

A source told The Sun: “Susan has held Andrea off the top of the US charts for weeks – it’s incredible.

“But he holds no grudges – he joked that he ‘must sing with this amazing woman’.”

Susan is being predicted to sing one of Bocelli’s famous duets with him, such as Time to Say Goodbye or The Prayer, which he has sung with Celine Dion.

Here is another chance to watch the duet between Susan Boyle and Elaine Paige, first broadcast on Susan’s TV Special “I Dreamed a Dream: The Susan Boyle Story”. Susan and Elaine sing “I Know Him So Well” from the musical Chess, a beautiful song written by the Abba boys Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus with lyrics from Tim Rice.

Susan Boyle has finally met her idol, Elaine Paige, and was “starstruck” after meeting her. According to a report in The Sun, an insider said that: “Susan was completely starstruck.

“It was like watching a kid at Christmas. It really was a dream come true.”

Elaine Paige gave Susan some useful advice, telling her to “look after her voice”, “not to say yes to everything” and to make sure that she does not “burn out”.

Ms Paige also told Susan that she would be “honoured” to sing a duet with her on her forthcoming album.

I wonder what song they should sing together? Any suggestions?

Susan Boyle to duet with Paul Potts?

Simon Cowell is reportedly hatching a plot to get Paul Potts and Susan Boyle to sing a duet together. Paul Potts, who won the “Britain’s Got Talent” competition two years ago, achieved success on YouTube in a similar way to Susan Boyle.

Simon Cowell apparently thinks that there would be great potential in getting the two Britain’s Got Talent stars to perform together. Simon Cowell is currently planning a film called “Star Struck” based on Potts’ success story. Now a source close to Cowell reports that the producer is considering a duets CD between Boyle and Potts, a former mobile phone salesman who previously astounded audiences with his amazing voice.

Simon Cowell’s representatives have not commented on these rumours. However, Simon has said that he believes Susan Boyle is destined for great things. “I’m thrilled to bits for her That’s why I love making these shows,” said Cowell. “You can’t plan for it.”

An unlikely success, Susan Boyle’s frumpy appearance provoked sniggers and aneyeroll from Simon Cowell when she first stepped onto the stage of “Britain’s Got Talent.” However, when she opened her mouth to sing it was a different matter and the rest, as they say,is history.

Donny Osmond has invited Susan Boyle to perform a duet with him.

This would be another dream come true for Susan Boyle, as she has already said that listening to Donny Osmond when she was younger inspired her to sing. Indeed, she says she was “obsessed” with him when she was a teenager. Gerard Boyle, Susan’s brother, said: “His posters were all over her walls. She would lock herself in her room and play the records over and over again singing along as loud as possible. It used to drive me mad when I would hear it start up the hundredth time. But our mum would say ‘Leave her alone, it’s all she’s got’.”

Donny Osmond has said: “I would die to do a duet with her.”

Well Donny, it looks like you’ll have to take your place in the queue behind Elaine Paige!

Elaine Paige has suggested performing a duet with Susan Boyle

It has been an extraordinary week for Susan Boyle. She has become a global superstore. Her original audition has been viewed more than 25 million times on YouTube. She has been interviewed by American chat show hosts and Oprah has her lined up. No surprise then, that her heroine Elaine Paige has suggested a joint collaboration.

Just before her life changing performance, Susan Boyle revealed that it was her dream to be a singer as successful as Elaine Paige whose songs she had sung many times. Now Miss Paige has added her own message of support to Miss Boyle. She has written on her website:”Ever since Susan’s appearance on Britain’s Got Talent my Radio 2 inbox has been flooded with emails.”

“It seems her performance has captured the hearts of everyone who saw it, me included … it looks like I have competition! Perhaps we should record a duet?”

“She is a role model for everyone who has a dream.”

The odds of Susan Boyle winning Britain’s Got Talent have become very short, with Ladbroke’s offering 2/5, which must be unsettling for the other contestants on the show, although Simon Cowell insisted that it would not be “A one horse race”.
