Susan Boyle Unveiled "You Have To Be There"

A month after debuting her latest single on NBC's America's Got Talent, Susan Boyle has unveiled the official promo to support her underwhelming new single, "You Have To Be There." This stirring ballad is the lead single features on Boyle's upcoming third full-length album, "Someone to Watch Over Me," to hit stories and iTunes November 1st. The album features Boyle's interpretations of pop classics by George and Ira Gershwin, Joni Mitchell and others, as well as original material.
Unlike the other artists, the 50-year-old singer shuns elaborate costume changes, over-the-top choreography and dramatic storyline. She's doing what she does best; belting out the lyrics in high notes. "Well this song makes a demand on Gods presence, it raises questions as to whether or not he can be there when needed," Boyle said. "It's a powerful song. It was written by Benny & Björn from ABBA and originates from their musical Kristina and it's very evocative and emotional."
ABBA's Benny Anderson and Björn Ulvaeus originally wrote the song as "Du måste finnas" for the 1995 popular Swedish musical "Kristina från Duvemåla." The show is based on a series of four novels by Swedish author Vilhelm Moberg set in the mid-19th century, which tells the epic story of an extended family's poverty-driven migration from Sweden to America. It's a really good song with a mighty chorus that roars in a Celine Dion sort of way. The essence and feel of the video is sure to grab your attention.
The clip was filmed during her rehearsals for major televised performances at London's Symphony Orchestra home on Old Street. It's classic Boyle in every way, too, as this Scottish singing sensation, who surprised the world and claimed her fame through "Britain's Got Talent," shows off her ridiculous vocal range, and keeps it simple yet classy in this black-and-white affair, backed up by a full string orchestra when showing off her pipes.

Susan Boyle Debuts First Video For 'Perfect Day'

Scottish chanteuse Susan Boyle has premiered her first music video on Sunday tonight for "Perfect Day," one of the tracks featured on her new sophomore album, "The Gift," in stores tomorrow. For her first ever video, "Britain's Got Talent" break out star offers a cinematic journey and ventures through gorgeous natural settings and sings under a rainbow. Shots of lush forests and gorgeous sunrises are set to the Scottish siren's cover of rocker Lou Reed's 1972 classic, which tracks the passage of a day set against an idyllic rural backdrop.
Reed has masterminded the video for Boyle's version of "Perfect Day" just months after banning her from covering his 1972 classic. Reed refused to let Boyle cover the track on an episode of America's Got Talent earlier this year, but had a change of heart a few weeks later and allowed her to include the track on her album. Following the u-turn, Reed asked to be in involved in the production of the video, which was shot on the banks of Loch Lomond. "I wanted to create a beautiful and intimate piece shot in Susan's native Scotland and she quickly agreed," Reed told the newspaper.
Boyle added of working with Reed: "I loved that Lou understood how much it meant to me to film in Scotland. I didn't mind how much it rained or blew a gale - I enjoyed every minute." As she spends her perfect day, Boyle is seen standing on the edge of a misty lake as dawn is breaking, in a wooded glade and, finally, atop a mountainside as the sun sets over a stunning view. In video, the "Britain's Got Talent" phenom rocks a black coat and gloves while navigating through a foggy hillside, a lush forest and a quiet dock near a bay. The last 20 seconds of the clip sees Boyle raise her arms to the heavens as the sun finally comes out and clears up the rain.
Boyle, amateur vocalist became an overnight sensation after appearing on the first round of 2009's popular UK reality show "Britain's Got Talent," caught the judges (and the world) off guard with her masterful rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical Les Misérables, due in part to the unemployed and undeniably plain church volunteer's "salt of the earth" demeanor and country spinster back-story. Her debut album, "I Dreamed a Dream," was released last year and reached No.1 on both the US and UK charts, setting a record in her homeland for first week sales. There is no denying, Boyle is definitely an artist all her own. She is unique, and fans keep building for her. "Perfect Day" video will inspire fans to race through the hillsides and pick up a copy of her second CD, which Boyle herself says the project was meant to "touch hearts."
