Susan Boyle - Boyle Launches Duet Competition

SUSAN BOYLE wants her fans to experience the same overnight success she garnered last year (09) - she's launching a search to find a singer to duet on her new album.

The Scottish sensation catapulted to international stardom after auditioning on Britain's Got Talent, leading to her debut album I Dreamed A Dream smashing records and selling more than nine million copies.

Boyle has been enjoying her new-found stardom so much she wants to give back to her fans by calling for singers to compete for inclusion on her next record, The Gift.

She says, "Last year my dream of becoming a recording artist came true after auditioning on Britain's Got Talent. Since then, I've had an absolutely fantastic time. It's been a real gift to me and now I would like to pass on the gift to someone else...

"There are a lot of people out there who wouldn't have the confidence or perhaps the means to enter a big competition like Britain's Got Talent. So this might be a lot less daunting for some people as they can record the song in the privacy of their own home. I'm hoping that people who have always wanted to sing will give it a try. I wish you all good luck."

The competition is being run on Boyle's official website until 23rd July (10). Fans are asked to upload videos of themselves singing Silent Night to try and win the contest.
