Posts Tagged ‘I Dreamed a Dream’

Susan Boyle performed the song that propelled her to fame, I Dreamed a Dream, on Dancing with the Stars last night in the US. Whilst Susan sang, Tony Dovolani and Chelsie Hightower danced beautifully. Susan looked stunning, her performance was amazing, and you can view it here:

Susan Boyle is singing the theme song “I Dreamed a Dream” for the anime movie “Himitsu Kessha Taka no Tsume The Movie 3 ~http://takanotsume.jp wa Eien ni~” . The film is the third Eagle Talon film, based on a series of? Flash animated Japanese comedy tv shorts.

“I Dreamed a Dream” is, of course,? the title track for Susan’s debut album which will be released on November 23rd / 24th.

The film is scheduled to open in Japan on January 16, 2010, and should increase Susan’s exposure to the Japanese market.

Update:

Yoko from Japan has found this clip on YouTube of the anime song, Wings to Fly.

“The song will be included, as a bonus track, in the Japan version of her debut CD on sale on 25th Nov here,” says Yoko.

Thanks, Yoko!

Susan Boyle or Sharon Osbourne, which lady do you think is the prettiest?

Susan Boyle is set to perform on next week’s airing of Dancing with the Stars, the US version of Strictly Come Dancing which broadcasts on ABC. Sharon Osbourne’s daughter, Kelly Osbourne, is a competitor on the show, and Sharon? has appeared in the audience frequently to offer support to her daughter.

Sharon Osbourne recently made a number of unprovoked derogatory remarks about Susan’s appearance which have been widely condemned by Susan’s fans, see this article.

According to NBC Los Angeles, Susan will sing “I Dreamed a Dream” on the show. However, Sharon’s spokesman was not available? for comment on whether Ms Osbourne? would be attending the Tuesday recording of the show.

QVC in the US are going to be selling Susan Boyle’s CD on their shopping channel. In addition, QVC will exclusively be packaging the CD together with a DVD that will only be available on QVC.

According to ETOnline, QVC will launch Susan’s latest release on Wednesday 4th November at 9 pm, giving? Susan Boyle fans the opportunity to order Susan’s debut album I Dreamed a Dream together with the bonus DVD that features rare footage of Susan. This is much earlier than the planned November 23rd general release of Susan’s album to the public.

I am not currently aware of any plans by QVC in the UK to sell Susan’s album early.

Amazon.com announced today that Susan Boyle’s debut album, I Dreamed A Dream, is the biggest selling pre-order CD in the history of Amazon.com – and there is still another month before it is due to be released!

“I Dreamed a Dream,” will be released by Sony on November 23rd.

“We?re thrilled by how passionate Susan Boyle?s fans have been,”? Craig Pape, senior manager of Music at Amazon.com, told BusinessWire.com. “Although it?s normal to see early enthusiasm for artists who have come off of television shows, the response from our customers to Susan Boyle?s upcoming album has been unprecedented.”

Here is the list of the Top 10 CD pre-orders of all time in the Amazon.com Music Store:

Susan Boyle?s ?I Dreamed a Dream? is currently available for pre-order for $9.99 at Amazon.com and ?8.99 at Amazon.co.uk.

I first received an unconfirmed report from a lady who contacted me on Friday 16th October, saying that a friend of hers had seen Susan Boyle being admitted to the Accident and Emergency department of St John?s Hospital in Livingston, West Lothian and asking me if I knew anything about it – I didn’t.

Because the report was unconfirmed, I felt it best not to mention it on this website.

The same lady contacted me earlier today and said her friend had seen one of the nurses talking to Susan, and she gave me some details of the conversation. I have now found an article in the Sunday Express that confirms my source’s report.

Susan Boyle apparently became ill during a visit to her council house in Blackburn. According to reports, she was suffering from an “upset stomach” and returned home later in the day.

Susan’s neighbour,? Margaret Smith said: “I hope Susan is OK.

“I never knew there was anything wrong but some people were talking about it.

“?I saw Susan after I came home. She walked past my window at about 4pm and looked fine.”

Nicola Phillips, Susan’s manager, said: “Susan is fine and we have no further comment. I am not in a position to say what was wrong with her because that is private.”

Some rumours have suggested that Susan? may have been suffering from swine flu. However, I doubt that this is the case – it is just that swine flu is in everyone’s mind at the moment due to the media coverage.

Of course, we all remember that Susan suffered from “exhaustion” and was rushed into the Priory Clinic at the end of the Britain’s Got Talent competition. However, there is no evidence to suggest that Susan’s symptoms were stress related.

Susan is shortly due to start a publicity drive for her debut album, “I Dreamed a Dream”.

The playlist of Susan Boyle’s “I Dreamed a Dream” album has been released, and here are the tracks:

1. ? Wild Horses
2. ? I Dreamed A Dream
3. ? Cry Me A River
4. ? How Great Thou Art
5. ? You’ll See
6. ? Daydream Believer
7. ? Up to The Mountain
8. ? Amazing Grace
9. ? Who I Was Born To Be
10. Proud
11. The End Of The World
12. Silent Night

What a stunning selection of songs. I’m looking forward to hearing “You’ll See” the most, and I was most surprised to see “Daydream Believer” on the track listing – it will be interesting to hear Susan’s interpretation of this song.

Susan herself has said: “”It was my greatest ambition to release an album and I have finally achieved it. This amazing journey has helped me find my own identity and fulfill my wish. There is happiness out there for everyone who dares to dream.”

Susan Boyle is being lined up to appear on The X Factor, according to a report in today’s Daily Mirror. Her appearance is expected to coincide with the release of her album “I Dreamed a Dream”.

A souce told the Mirror: ?It makes perfect sense and will create a big buzz. There are two shows to fill on Saturday and Sunday nights now, so they?re also planning guest appearances from previous winners and runners-up as well as celebrity guests.?

Susan Boyle fans are upset with the Amazon.com policy of restricting customers to no more than three purchases of Susan’s debut album, “I Dreamed A Dream”.

However, Amazon.co.uk currently has no such restriction. I was able to add 20 Susan Boyle albums to my basket without a problem (surely 20 is enough for most people?) I checked out the Amazon.co.uk delivery policy, and they will deliver CDs to North America – see North America Delivery Rates for further details.

For other countries worldwide, full details of the Amazon.co.uk international delivery policies can be found here.

Well, my friends, could this be a loophole?

Meanwhile, Ladbrokes are still offering odds of 5/2 that Susan Boyle will be number one at Christmas on both sides of the Atlantic.

Susan Boyle’s debut “I Dreamed a Dream” album will contain the debut single “Wild Horses”, originally made famous by The Rolling Stones. It appeared on their 1971 Stones album “Sticky Fingers” and was voted one of the greatest songs of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. “Wild Horses” has previously been covered by Garbage, Deacon Blue, Neil Young and The Cranberries.? The story broke earlier today on Irish Central. Thanks, Misti, for bringing us up to date on this.

Perez Hilton, the celebrity blogger, apparently has an audio copy of Susan singing “Wild Horses” and the track is expected to be shared online – presumably with the blessing of the record company.

Susan’s voice is said to be astonishingly good on the track, which is one of the tracks on her debut album.

Other tracks have been reported to include “You’ll See”, originally made famous by Madonna, and of course “I Dreamed a Dream” -? but the full track listing is not yet available.
