Susan Boyle allowed STV showbiz reporter Laura Boyd to come along and have a sneak peek at the rehearsals for her forthcoming Scottish tour – and what a treat that was.
Susan delivered a breathtaking rendition of her signature tune, I Dreamed a Dream, reminiscent of her now legendary Britain’s Got Talent audition, back in 2009.
Since then, she has gone on to become a global superstar and is about to embark on her first series of solo concerts.
She explained: “I’ve been looking forward to it for quite a few months now. It’s a team effort and it’s a very exciting project.
“It will be a wee chance to let the general public know what I’m capable of.”
Susan has been keen to get on the show on the road for a while now, admitting: “I’ve been nagging my manager for some time now, he’s nearly demented with me!”
So what can those lucky enough to get their hands on a ticket expect from Susan Boyle in concert?
“Expect to be entertained and have a good fun night,” the 52-year-old said.
Susan Boyle in Concert will see Susan play seven dates throughout Scotland.
She said: “It was a kind of thank you to Scottish people for all the support I’ve had. I’ve had a lot of support and a lot of nice people around me and I’m eternally grateful for it.”
And if that goes well, will Susan take the concert throughout the world?
She said she’s taking “baby steps” at the moment to see how the audiences respond, but, if it goes well, she would like to tour other parts, admitting: “I’d like to travel to Ireland and tour Ireland.”
Susan’s life has changed dramatically since she took to that Britain’s Got Talent stage 4 years ago.
With record-breaking albums under her belt and having performed for the likes of the Pope and the Queen, did she ever imagine her life would follow this path?
True to her cheeky nature, Susan laughed: “I didn’t imagine I would get through the first audition! I mean that awful frock - I was like a cake!”
One of the highlights this year for the Blackburn belter was getting to perform with her idol, Donny Osmond, who she dubbed “a bit of alright.”
Having achieved so much already, with a film role to add to her credits this year, what else would Susan like to do? Could the rumours of a Las Vegas residency really be on the cards?
She told Laura: “Rumour has it is on the cards. As I say, we’ll see how these shows go and see how the public take to them and if they take to them we can take them further.
“I would like to go to Vegas. It’s a marvellous place to be.That would put me on the level of other people then.”
Susan rounded off the chat with a special message for her fans.
