Susan Boyle talks first U.S. tour

While Boyle is still noticeably shy and not greatly forthcoming in conversation, she’s unfailingly chipper and polite. She noted that she feels more comfortable on stage now but added, “Still, everyone gets nervous when their performance is being scrutinized.”
Boyle is touring with the same band that backed her during her European run, and her shows so far have featured 24 classic songs, including her interpretations of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” ABBA’s “The Winner Takes It All” and of course “I Dreamed a Dream,” the sweeping “Les Miserables” ballad that has become her signature since her TV talent show breakthrough.
Boyle’s new album, “Hope,” arrives Oct. 21 and offers haunting versions of Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” and Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel.”

I did have an over whelming desire to adopt a puppy, after her show...

She started her show, with her standing in the dark and the Simon "interview" playing.  (The part that starts at .44) 



However, she didn't sing "I Dreamed A Dream," as in the video.  It was her closing song.

"I'm going to make the audience rock."  And that she did...

PS  :)  DeeDee, I think you would like her most recent album... Hope.

I've loved everything she has sung. I was stalking youtube when she was on BGT. But that song "Angel" has been ruined for me forever thanks to the ASPCA. I didn't know she had a new album coming out. I'll have to get it and just skip over the 3rd track.

Audio samples from all of the songs:





But no one will ever be able to beat this version of Circle:  Will The Circle Be Unbroken Vol.2/Nitty Gritty Dirt Band/Johnny Cash/Ricky Skaggs
