Scottish singer Susan Boyle, one of the biggest stars of the Internet age, seeks to turn global celebrity into record sales next week with the release of her debut album "I Dreamed a Dream."
Named after the song from the musical "Les Miserables" that made her famous, the 12-track album is a mix of pop covers like Madonna's "You'll See" and The Monkees' "Daydream Believer" and Christian stalwarts like "Amazing Grace" and "Silent Night."
The Sony Music record hits stores in Britain on Monday and in the United States on Tuesday, and the early commercial signs are promising.

Susan Boyle was unknown a year ago - but now her upcoming album has become the largest global CD pre-order in the history of Amazon.
SuBo's album I Dreamed A Dream, the song from Les Miserables which catapulted her to stardom when she first performed it on Britain's Got Talent, has smashed all previous records by the online retailer.

Anticipation over the Nov. 23 release of Susan Boyle's debut album has reached a fever pitch in the United Kingdom, where the Scottish singer shot to stardom after a video of her "Britain's Got Talent" audition was posted on the Internet.
While fans still adore her - her "I Dreamed a Dream" album has become Amazon.com's most pre-ordered CD in history, Boyle has taken some lumps recently.
"America's Got Talent" judge Sharon Osbourne told a U.S. radio station that Boyle "has a voice, yeah, but, boy, has she been hit by the ugly stick."

The title track is the song from the "Les Miserables" musical that earlier this year also made her famous on "Britain's Got Talent," its version of "American Idol."

The upcoming debut album by British singing sensation Susan Boyle has become the largest global CD pre-order in the history of Amazon.com, the online retailer said on Thursday.
It is the first album since the dowdy 48 year-old church volunteer from Scotland took the Internet by storm with her unlikely star turn on the TV show "Britain's Got Talent" in April.
Amazon said that Boyle's album was not only the top CD pre-order in the United States, but also the biggest around the world in the 14-year history of it's web site.

Boyle Sets Amazon.com Records: "Britain's Got Talent" contestant Susan Boyle is making sales history with her coming album release "I Dreamed a Dream."
The singer, who became a viral sensation after her rendition of the song "I Dreamed a Dream" from "Les Misérables" hit the Web, has become the top pre-ordered CD on Amazon.com in the U.S. and globally, according to the company.
Not so bad for a contestant who came in second place on the show.
I was the least involved in the production of the Beatle records. And then with my solo records, I worked with some other great producers… Then suddenly, it’s another point in your life, and you say, `I’m going do this now.’ So I’ll be producing anything I make from now on -Ringo Starr

I am a singer myself and was surprised that Kevin Skinner won as America's Got Talent winner. While I do believe his heart is always in his songs, his voice is only fair at best. Barbara Badilla has a much better voice, and is trained to sing opera. Susan Boyle also has a fair voice, in my opinion. Not great, but still better than Kevin Skinner. I think a lot of middle America voted for Skinner, because he was an "everyman" , like them, and they could relate more to him. I certainly think he could certainly use the million dollars more than the other contestants. Maybe Mr. Skinner will now get some voice training. Susan Boyle and Kevin Skinner have something in common, and that is that they sing from their soul's. Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra both had fair voices, but they sang from their souls, and that is obviously what the general public ( and voters ) relate to.

As soon as I heard that Susan Boyle was appearing on America's Got Talent, not only did I set my VCR, but I also watched her, as millions of others did. When I first saw her, I felt that she was someone I could watch over and over, and basically I did, because after hearing her sing I Dreamed A Dream, all I would do was play it over and over, as it made me feel so good just to listen to her. I can't wait until her album comes out, which I have already ordered on line.
