SUSAN BOYLE CONCERTS IN AMERICA BEGIN IN NOVEMBER: CLICK HERE

The plan to have Susan Boyle hit America first as carried in in the British media is a very clever one by Simon Cowell.

He knows there are a huge number of 'hidden' Susan Boyle fans who will show up in their tens of thousands for her. Present plans have her in America around mid-November — the timing is perfect.

There is an incredible underground of Susan Boyle fans waiting for their hero.Just go to any Susan Boyle fan site and see for yourself.

Many are middle-aged women who identify with Susan's troubles and tough life. These "invisible women'" will become very visible when the tour begins.

 

She is the Hannah  Montana for the forgotten generation of female fans, who find her real life story and success an incredibly satisfying experience.In a world of manufactured celebrity she comes across as a true old soul, someone who has experienced far more valleys than peaks, but is now turning her life around.

So, while much of the media is jaded by Boyle she has a fanatical following in America which will stand to her very well. Watch those secret fans turn out when she finally gets the tour dates locked down.

If she makes it big here during her Thanksgiving time tour, she will automatically become a sensation everywhere else in the world.

If you make it here, you make it anywhere.

The songs in the album will be specially chosen to play to the American audience. I believe many will have religious overtones because she is attracting many faith based believers. Also, the reality is that Susan is very comfortable in that format, having learned her trade in her local church choir and on pilgrimages to Knock Shrine in Ireland where she sang.with choirs there .

Also with Christmas on the horizon during her tour it will be massively important to play to that American idyll of the perfect Christmas atmosphere. She will be more than up to that. 

All in all it is exciting news for Boyle fans. Their heroine is on her way across the ocean in a matter of months.Just watch the reaction she gets.
