Susan Boyle heading to the U.S.

Susan Boyle is hoping to make a splash in the United States before trying for success across the pond.

The 48-year-old singer who shot to fame on “Britain’s Got Talent” earlier this year – is reportedly planning to travel to the states in November, where she will perform at a series of public events.

After her concert schedule is complete, Susan is expected to release her debut album in the United States.

An insider told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “We are really pleased with how she is doing and the album is now well on the way to being finished.

“Susan will be flying to America in November to give her fans there a treat of Thanksgiving. Initially, there were plans for a single, but now it seems to be all about an album.”

Judge Simon Cowell recently said Boyle sounds “fantastic” on her album.

He said: “I’ve cut one track with her and she sounds fantastic. She’s so good and the album is not just going to be show tunes. We’re going to take our time with this.”
