Album sales and official news
Whether it was because of her popularity dropping or because she sincerely believes her comments were taken out of contetx, Elaine Paige has apologized to Susan Boyle saying that she never inteded to talk the popular singer down, but the way she wast taken to worldwide stardom by the Britain’s Got Talet show producers. One way or the other, she says she does admire Susan Boyle very much and hopes the singer can forgive her.


In declarations made to the Daily Mail last night Elaine Paige says:
‘I wasn’t referring to Susan herself; I was referring to the speed of her fame spreading as fast as a worldwide viral marketing campaign.’
‘I am a huge supporter of Susan Boyle and admire what she has achieved.
And then she talks about her own experience when she became famous overnight due to the success of Evita
‘I have always said it’s very hard for someone to be fast-tracked to stardom without any prior experience – I know this as it happened to me when ‘Evita’ opened and I found it extremely difficult in the beginning.
‘Today, of course, it’s much harder with the phenomenon of the internet – Facebook, YouTube etc – it seems it only takes minutes for fame to spread around the world – and that’s why I used the word ‘virus’!
Susan Boyle’s CD has sold a whooping figure of 8 million worldwide, setting records around the world and being one of the best selling female albums in the last years, a moving story of a struggling lady that fought for her dream until it became true that has touched millions around the world, especially the American public, where Susan’s Popularity doesn’t seem to wane.

I just purchased Susan’s CD and I can’t stop playing it. Her angelic voice brings a fresh and soul touching experience to any song that she sings. What a delight! I can’t wait for her next album.
I am so happy for your success Susan; it is well deserved. God has truly placed His hand upon you. Here’s wishing you continued success and many blessings in the future. New York, USA
If Susan accepts the apology, then I will look forward to purchasing a CD hopefully with recordings by both ladies
My husband and I love Susan’s first album. We listen to it every day. We look forward to other albums…perhaps, a collection of her favorite religious songs, Scottish ballads, etc.

You have inspired many with your fearless audition and raise to stardom. You deserve the praise as your voice is not only pleasant to our ears, but I believe the angels also smile when you sing. Stay true to yourself, because that is the beautiful Susan we saw on stage singing at the talent show and that is the Susan and the voice we fell in love with. Your mother must be so happy that you have shared your talent with the world. You truly are an inspiration! Thank you and I can’t wait for your next cd. I also would like to say that I wish you true happiness not just success, I wish you love and peace and many smiles. Chicago USA

I just purchased the Susan Boyle CD and I am so glad I did. I was so impressed with her voice and song choices. I am so glad she “had a Dream” and that dream came true and we are all getting to enjoy it with her! I hope she does another album and many more to come. Good luck and enjoy every minute of it, Susan, you deserve it – finally!
