She may still have difficulty singing on back-to-back nights, but Susan Boyle is doing well in the recording studio.
American Idol judge Simon Cowell told People last week that the Britain's Got Talent finalist has completed one song for her debut album. How did it go?
"She sounds fantastic on record," Cowell said. "She's so good, the album is not just going to be show tunes."
We can't wait for Boyle's new album... but we're gonna have to.
Following the singer's problems with hospitalization, stress and exhaustion, Cowell said he's going slow with her: "We're going to take our time with this [CD]."
As for other Susan Boyle news, we're sad to report that she will NOT be appearing on Ugly Betty. Too bad.

Hi - fyi, Susan Boyle has had no trouble singing back to back nights since mid-June. She was hospitalized 4 days, and then eased into the tour. She missed 5 out of 29 shows on the tour, which ended last weekend. Last week alone, she performed every night, and then Friday, two shows Saturday and two shows Sunday. She did this (back to back matinees and evening shows) several times. Check YouTube for all the videos of her 24 performances. She was recovering from exhaustion, but is well now - even recorded her first CD track at the same time as the tour.
Simon was also clear that they're taking their time not because she can't handle the schedule, but because he doesn't want to rush a cookie-cutter CD like is normally done after the Britain's Got Talent competitions. "It's not an obvious record" he said, "so we're going to take our time with this." That's the whole original quote. He said nothing about her health - the entire comment was about the CD.

All your article does is put Susan Boyle in a bad light by misrepresnting her health and stamina and printing a picture that you must have borrowed from the tabloids.

I agree completely with Mayla and Donna T.

Susan did very well on tour. That was a long tour with extensive traveling which is enough to do anyone in especially when you're not use to it. Her life has been a whirlwind every since her first appearance on Britian's Got Talent and, I'm sure stressful to say the least. She's a wonderful talent and will do just fine. I look forward to her CD's and wish her nothing but the best.

That tour started one week after she got out of the hospital.
She was under NO obligation to do the tour, but she didn't want to disappoint her fans.
That's what I call being a real trooper.
28 shows in 24 days was ludicrous even for the kids.
I wonder why it was never reported when the other acts didn't perform. Probably because the media had no interest in beating them up, only Susan.
It's about time that she's treated with some respect, her fans are sick and tired of all the bashing.
I'm very happy they won't rush the CD like they usually do, although selfishly, I want it yesterday!
This time I hope that Susan is calling the shots. No more getting pushed around, those days are over.

Susan began the tour 4 days after coming out of hospital and she missed only 4 days on the first week. ALL of the other acts have had days off as well but the UK tabloids are not interested in that as they only want to trash Susan. She has done back to back shows, including matinees, in Scotland Wales and Ireland as well as in the UK. She has demonstrated she is an absolute trooper. She has received satndng ovations at every single performance. In between time she has also been working on the album. This says to me the lady has guts, determination and strength of character as well as fantastic singing voice and a stage presence which those lucky enough to have seen her live say is phenomenal.

Susan Boyle's singing talent is likely the most spectacular to emerge in half a century. With the talent comes her wonderful sense of fun, her down-to-earth outlook on life, and her love for people. She manages her life with focus and fortitude. She has the admiration of millions and millions around the world. Time for the media, whether mainstream or gossip, to give Susan Boyle the honor she deserves!

I am looking forward to Susan's first CD. My only disappointment is that she is only coming out with one CD and not several CDs with different genres of music. I would want to buy all of them...
