Hey Susan - You Bumped Me!

Susan Boyle has bumped US President Barack Obama from the prime time television slot on NBC. Mr Obama had wanted to broadcast his press conference at 9pm on Wednesday on NBC to lay out his plans for reforming America’s private-sector health care system, according to an article in The Telegraph.

However, Susan Boyle’s inteview has bumped Barack Obama from this prime time slot. Mr President’s interview will now be screened at the earlier time of 8pm, when it will be aired live simultaneously on three US networks, one of which is NBC.

The pre-recorded interview with Susan Boyle will be broadcast in the 9pm slot.

A US television insider told the Daily Express: “The television networks normally comply even if it is in prime viewing time.

“It can lose them ratings and millions of dollars in advertising revenue. But NBC dug its heels in and refused to push Susan out of the prime time slot, so the White House just had to blink.”

Here is a preview of the Susan Boyle interview conducted by Meredith Vieira that will be broadcast on the Today show, on NBC, on July 22nd.

Thanks again to Misti in Seattle for the heads-up and Haricornflake for posting it on Youtube.

Susan Boyle will grant her first TV interview in America to Meredith Vieira of NBC?s Today show, according to an article in The New York Times. The Today show will use the show to promote America’s Got Talent, the US version of the show that made Susan Boyle famous.

Susan’s interview will be broadcast on Wednesday in the US, but not the UK, with excepts being shown on Today. An extended version of the interview will be shown on America?s Got Talent.

In the interview, Susan talks “about her improbable journey to international fame, her voice, her health and what is next for her.”

I guess we in the UK will have to wait for our US friends to upload the interview to YouTube. Hint, hint!

Susan Boyle showed genuine surprise that she won her semi-final despite all the media interest that has surrounded her since her first appearance on Britain’s Got Talent.

She also demonstrates her wiggle for Piers Morgan and is shown the latest Susan Boyle doll to hit the market.

Susan Boyle will be appearing on the Oprah Winfrey show in the US on Monday 11th May, and the interview is likely to be viewed by more than 20million people in the US.

However, it is believed that the bosses at Britain’s Got Talent have forbidden her from singing live on the show, as they feel it would give her an unfair advantage over the other contestants.

Susan is planning to show Oprah and her 20 odd million viewers around her modest council house in West Lothian that she shares with her cat, Pebbles.

According to Hello Magazine, the camera crew arrived on Tuesday morning, but stopped filming briefly in the afternoon to allow Ms Boyle to have a “nap”. They later mocked up a scene where Susan ushers them away from the paparazzi installed outside her door, and invites them in for tea and cake.

Susan Boyle will be appearing on a special Oprah Winfrey show that is featuring guests selected from the 40 different countries where Britain’s Got Talent is filmed. Simon Cowell will also be appearing on the show. The show is titled The World’s Got Talent. Show producers have released a statement saying: “‘Internet sensation and Britain’s Got Talent contestant Susan Boyle welcomes our cameras for a view inside her Scotland home, and makes her ‘Oprah’ show debut”‘.

Susan Boyle appeared on the NBC’s Today show on Friday 17th April, but declined to answer the question: Have you got a boyfriend yet?
Last weekend when Susan appeared on Britain’s Got Talent, she said that she was 47 and had “never been married, never been kissed”

As of yesterday, more than 25 million people had viewed Susan Boyle’s performance on YouTube, so Today presenter Meredith Vieira asked Boyle if there had been any male suitors (not counting Piers Morgan) beating a path to her door.

Boyle laughed a girly laugh, and chortled, “No comment.”

Matt Lauer admitted that he’s watched her video “12 or 14 times”, though Boyle, sitting at home and talking in America via a satellite link, said the reaction from everywhere in the world “hasn’t sunk in yet.”

Simon Cowell has however commented (on GMTV) that Boyle winning “Britain’s Got Talent” is by no means a “done deal”. Cowell added “There are some acts that you haven’t seen yet, it’s not quite the one-horse race you are going to think this is.”

Simon Cowell predicts an No 1 album in the US for Susan Boyle

It’s hard to believe that I am writing this article less than a week after Susan Boyle appeared on Britain’s Got Talent. Yet today, Thursday 16th April, 2009, just five days after her debut TV performance, Oprah Winfrey, the top talkshow host in America, has asked Miss Boyle for an interview.

As of today, more than 12 million people have viewed her TV performance on YouTube. She yesterday (15th April, 2009) featured on “Good Morning America’ and the NBC today show. Kathie Lee Gifford had to wipe her eyes with a sock that was to be used in the next segment of the programme after viewing Miss Boyle’s performance.

Simon Cowell spoke today about the interest that had been shown in Susan from the US.

He said: ‘She literally just had an offer from Oprah to do her show.

‘If she went on Oprah I think there’s every chance Susan Boyle will have the number one album in America, I will predict that.’

Her brother John, has added: ‘The reaction Susan is getting from people is just amazing. She is long overdue some recognition.

‘I think part of her appeal is that behind the voice she is just such a nice and lovely person too.

‘She is as high as a kite, and she is delighted with everything that is going on. Britain’s Got Talent is a wonderful opportunity for her to have a normal and stable life and that?s exactly what she deserves.’

However, he also added that all the attention had been a lot for Susan to get used to and that it has been ‘quite an upheaval’. Susan is hoping to be well rested before the next round of the competition. She is expected to sing ‘Whistle Down the Wind’, also from Les Miserables, in the next round.
