Susan Boyle's No. 1 'Dream' realized
Susan Boyle has taught a whole new generation how to dream: Finish as the runner-up on a reality show and find big success afterward. Just ask Clay Aiken.The Scottish singer's debut record "I Dreamed a Dream" hit No. 1 on the British album chart Sunday, reports Reuters. Can the U.S. be far behind?
The album sold more than 410,000 copies since it dropped Nov. 23, the largest first-week sales for a debut album in UK chart history, supplanting the Arctic Monkeys and Leona Lewis.
Wow, was it only in April that the 48-year-old stunned the "Britain's Got Talent" audience, judges and eventually the world (thanks to YouTube) with her vocal chops, singing the Les Miserables song "I Dreamed a Dream"?
Boyle's biggest U.S. competition will be another runner-up -- Adam Lambert and his "For Your Entertainment."

How can someone that is mentally ill have access to a computer? What kind of person or should I say what kind of animal could or would write the nasty things you say? You must be related to Sharon Osbourne.
Susan Boyle looked fine the night she first performed and looks fine now. Talent doesn't have a mirror and if it did it would say"Susan Boyle you are the fairest of them all".
