Susan Boyle Search for a duet partner
She dared to ‘dream a dream' and now Susan Boyle has launched her own search to find an unknown talent who could follow in her footsteps.
The Britain's Got Talent runner-up swept to fame after her audition for the show spread like wild fire on the Internet. But happy to share her success, she is looking for another unknown to duet with her on her new album.
The international competition is sure to excite the millions of people around the world who would give up everything for their place in the spotlight and a taste of the success that Susan's enjoyed over the past year.
"A few months ago, as I was coming to the end of a very long and fantastic promotional tour," Susan explained, " I started to think about the future: new album, new era, new songs. I also started to reflect on what a fantastic year I had had. None of this would have happened without the right break and without the support of all the people who have listened to my music, sent me letters, travelled great distances to hear me sing.
"I began to think about ways in which I could begin to return that honour. The past year has been a wonderful gift and I wanted to be able to pass that gift on. And once I get an idea in my head I am determined to make it happen - as you might already have guessed. I decided that I wanted to give someone the opportunity that I had, a way onto the world stage, someone who has talent and just needs a break. For me it was through Britain's Got Talent. It took me years to pluck up the courage. Not everyone has the confidence or the means to be able to enter a big public competition and so I feel that this way it will afford people the same opportunity but in a less daunting arena."
Susan said she would listen to all the entries and choose the winner who will share the duet next album. "If you are sitting in front of your computer now thinking, it could never be me, let me tell you it can be - I am the living proof of that," she added.
