Susan Boyle was interviewed this week for the first time by Oprah Winfrey, by satellite link. Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell was in the studio and gave Susan his backing to ‘be herself’ in this week’s semi finals. In the barrage of publicity after her first appearance Susan went into hiding after her every move was phohographed by eager paparazzi. Oprah asked Susan Boyle directly whether she wanted a makeover. Susan admitted she had her hair coloured and a new hairstyle, but she believes these were only normal things any woman would do in her situation. Susan Boyle asserted “appearance is everything in this industry and I’m happy with the way I look.” – she told Oprah Winfrey that she does NOT want a celebrity makeover.
The pressures to adopt a celebrity look have been enormous, but I can equally imagine the outcry if she were to undergo a complete makeover. As part of the interview with Oprah Winfrey, Susan Boyle invited the cameras into her home in Scotland, where she has lived all her life. The 47 year old virgin coped well in the interview and told Oprah that she is enjoying every second of her new celebrity status. Cowell told Susan Boyle that ‘practically the whole world’ is backing her in the competition.
