Dressed in a smart black coat and signature red scarf – which many of her fans wore to greet her at the airport the previous day – she sang “I Dreamed a Dream”, “Wild Horses” (the rendition of which host Meredith Vieira said was “absolutely beautiful”) and “Cry Me a River.”

Susan looked happy and confident, and was in good voice.

And here are the videos for all the people who didn’t get to see Susan on the Today Show.

Part 1 – Meredith talks about Susan’s rapid rise to fame, the brief time she spent in the Priory Mental Health Clinic and what the future has in store.

Part 2 – Meredith surprises Susan with a message from her idol Donny Osmond – and introduces her to another of her idols – Elaine Paige. She also sings I Dreamed a Dream with Susan.

In order that the pressures don’t become too great for Susan, her interview on NBC was prerecorded, and not live, to keep the pressure off our favourite lady.

Susan’s chat with Meredith Vieira aired in the US this morning and will be repeated at 9pm tonight before America’s Got Talent (bumping Barack out of the way).

Meanwhile, Simon Cowell has revealed that he is delighted with the progress so far on Susan’s album. He said: “We went through about 350 songs and Susan was blown away by some of the choices. She’s going to surprise a lot of people with this record.”

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

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!

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.”
