Susan Boyle Sticks To Natural Look For New Album Cover

Posted Wed Oct 14, 2009 4:44pm PDT by Andy Pemberton in Musictoob

Susan Boyle's new album cover features the global superstar as you have seen her before--down-to-earth and natural.

Boyle's handlers are making sure that the "Hairy Angel's" appeal is not diluted by Hollywood gloss. On the cover of the 48-year-old's debut album I Dreamed A Dream, she appears in all her wrinkled glory. 

Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden said: "She needs to stay exactly as she is because that's the reason we love her. She just looks like anybody who could live on your street.

"The minute we turn her into a glamourpuss is when it's spoilt. For now we'll keep her exactly as she is because that's why we've all fallen in love with her."

Ironically, how she appears on the cover may make no difference. Her album, out November 23, has already topped Amazon's bestsellers list, with tens of thousands of copies sold as pre-orders. It is certain to go straight to the top of the Billboard chart.

I Dreamed A Dream tracklisting:

"Wild Horses"
"I Dreamed A Dream"
"Cry Me A River"
"How Great Thou Art"
"You'll See"
"Daydream Believer"
"Up To The Mountain"
"Amazing Grace"
"Who I Was Born To Be"
"Proud"
"The End Of The World"
"Silent"

Her wish - her DREAM - was to sing before the Queen. Did she ever get the opportunity to fulfill her dream? She is such an incredible talent! Her voice is golden! Susan Boyle deserves all things good coming her way.

Amanda Holden is NOT an X-Factor judge. Susan Boyle was on Britain's Got Talent. Amanda is a judge on THAT show.

Good! I guess she is doing ok then.
2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.”
John 3:16- "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."
Ephesians 2:8, 9= "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not as a result of works, so that no one may boast"
1 John 5:13- "These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life."
