Here’s a video I found of Susan Boyle’s arrival in Los Angeles (nicknamed SuBo Mania by the press).

Susan Boyle’s long awaited interview with Meredith Vieira on the Today Show on NBC is now available in full below, in two parts.

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.

Here is Susan Boyle’s performance from the last date of the Britain’s Got Talent live tour, at the BIC in Bournemouth on July 5th.

Susan Boyle gave another stunning performance at the O2 Arena in Dublin on June 30th and received a standing ovation from the rapt audience. She dedicated her performance to her late mother Bridget, according to an article on IrishCentral.

Both Susan’s parents came from County Donegal, in Ireland, before later emigrating to Scotland. One of the reasons Susan entered the “Britain’s Got Talent” competition was because her mother, Bridget, had wanted her to.

Bridget, before her death, had urged Susan to take a risk on her talent and to sing for audiences bigger than the local church. Prior to the competition, Susan’s experience of performing came from singing in church and karaoke.

Her priest, Father Basil Clark, commented on Susan’s singing when she joined an annual pilgrimage to the Knock Shine in County Mayo.

“When I watched the judges’ faces (on Britain’s Got Talent) it reminded me of what I was like when I first saw Susan singing in Knock — absolutely blown away by the quality of the singing and by that fantastic voice,” he told IrishCentral.

Susan entered Britain’s Got Talent and not The X-Factor, because she felt that for the latter competition, contestants were chosen for their looks.

Her mother’s death in 2007 convinced her that it really was time she entered. It is truly sad that Bridget never got to see Susan Boyle’s success; but perhaps she is watching, with a smile on her face, from a better place than here.

Susan Boyle dedicated her performance in Dublin to Bridget.

“This one’s for you,” she whispered.

Here are her two performances:

Here are some more lovely videos? of Susan Boyle? performing in Aberdeen on June June 23, 2009.

Susan’s last performance was at Wembley where she received a standing ovation and she was similarly received at the Aberdeen AECC with chants of “Susan, Susan” coming from the audience.

Her spokeswoman had previously said that Susan wanted to make as many of the tour dates as she could, especially the Scottish ones.

The BGT tour continues until July 5, finishing in Bournemouth. You can see the full list of Britain?s Got Talent tour dates here.

Susan Boyle is likely to be taking further rest days as the Britain’s Got Talent tour progresses. She recently performed in both Glasgow and Edinburgh and was well received by the audience receiving three standing ovations in Edinburgh, but had to miss the Manchester date in order to rest.

Publicist Nicola Philips told The Scotsman that Edinburgh’s performance went “really well” but that the singer would need “sporadic” rest days.

“We’ve not toured with her before, so we don’t know how many performances she can cope with,” she said. “We are waiting for her to talk to us, to tell us when she needs a rest.”

Susan is due to perform in Liverpool tonight.

Susan Boyle on video singing live at the first Britain’s Got Talent tour date in Birmingham on June 12th, 2009. I wish I’d been there!

Here is a video of Susan Boyle singing live at the Sheffield leg of the Britain’s Got Talent tour:

The quality of the video is poor (no doubt cheekily filmed by a fan) but there is no mistaking Susan’s powerful voice and performance.

See the earliest ever video of Susan Boyle, singing The Way We Were, originally made famous by Barbra Streisand, in 1984, in a talent competition at Fir Park Social Club in Motherwell. This is thought to be the earliest video recording of Susan Boyle (unless you know different!).
