STAGE TUBE: Susan Boyle Chats with Oprah Winfrey
"American Idol" and "Britain's Got Talent" honcho Simon Cowell, was as a guest on Oprah Winfrey's show on Monday May, 11th. Singing sensation Susan Boyle, who is competing on "Britain's Got Talent", also made an appearance via satellite from her living room. Boyle told Oprah Winfrey that she is "loving every second" of her newfound fame.
One of those judges was Cowell, who wished Boyle congratulations and wished her "best of luck" on the rest of the competition. Cowell revealed he thinks Adam Lambert will win this season of the popular singing competition show. He told Oprah Winfrey on Monday's episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" that his money is on Lambert because the contestant is fearless, unique and "he's got swagger."
The Britains Got Talent's first season was won by a cell phone salesman who sang opera songs, Paul Potts. Potts was also physically unassuming at first blush on the show. It appears Susan Boyle has struck a very similar cord at the start of this season as well. To watch the performance, click here. Simon Cowell is now reportedly setting up a record deal for her, she has also become the favortie to win the top slot on the program.
