4 months ago
As noted in our Les Miserables review, we weren’t huge fans of this big screen adaption.

Glenn Close To Star In Susan Boyle Biopic
2 years ago
Here’s a movie I’ll be avoiding like the plague. Susan Boyle will be played by Glenn Close in a new biopic which follows Boyle’s rise to fame.
I personally can’t think of a worse idea for a movie, will Glenn Close be sitting on a couch with all her cats for 40+ years, then audition for Britain’s Got Talent? Then…well…the end.
Okay not fair on my part, well not fully, but honestly Boyle just started her career and a biopic seems quite premature. According to UK reports Close will play Boyle as she auditions for the talent show and then through the last several years in which she has released

Michael Jackson Album Sales: Not Invincible
2 years ago
Michael Jackson’s posthumous new album, Michael, sold 228,000 copies in the U.S. and hundreds of thousands more abroad in its first week.
The domestic haul lagged only Taylor Swift’s Speak Now (259,000) and Susan Boyle’s The Gift (254,000). Not Invincible, but very formidable.
While perhaps a bit of a letdown by MJ standards, the “new” material was unreleased for a reason, and his sales trounced Crystal Bowersox.
Not surprisingly, the late King of Pop’s label notes that he “shipped platinum” in 14 different territories, meaning a million or more units were sent to those areas.
That’s

Susan Boyle on The View: O Holy… Crap!

Perhaps Susan Boyle should not sing at the Royal Wedding.
The Scottish sensation, who continues to rule the Billboard album charts, had an unfortunate incident this morning on The View. Performing the classic song “O Holy Night,” Boyle missed a note and lost her way. She motioned for the music to stop, but ended up standing awkwardly silent for a few moments before the hosts rushed in to save her.
See for yourself and then send in words of encouragement: hang in there, Susan! This was just a one-time hiccup:

Taylor Swift is reportedly holding on to a handsome man these days. And it’s a good thing, too, because she’s lost her grip on the top Billboard 200 ranking.
After spending two weeks at number-one with “Speak Now,” Swift finds herself in second place today, due to the release of “The Gift,” a holiday album from Susan Boyle. There really is no stopping this Scottish sensation.
“Singing is the best job in the world, it really is fantastic. I’m just an ordinary woman who showed a bit of determination and this is what has happened. To have a second No.1 album is wonderful and something I
