Susan Boyle: Calls fame a "demolition ball"

Susan Boyle, a Scottish singer who became an international star in 2009 after she appeared as a contestant on "Britain's Got Talent", has said in a interview that her sudden fame was like a "demolition ball".

The interview with Meredith Vieira was Boyle's first TV interview since she became an international star and TV sensation with millions of fans. The interview will air on Wednesday on U.S. morning show "Today".

Boyle said, "The impact, like a demolition ball. You know, and anyone who has that kind of impact – finds it really hard to get a head around it. I've got to be honest here. I guess I had to get my head around it, but through the – the guidance of a great team, and they are very good, I was able to see that in perspective and really turn that around a little".

When Susan Boyle, 48, failed to win the final of "Britain's Got Talent", she became ill and was treated for exhaustion at a London clinic. After few days she went on Britain's Got Talent Tour and performed.

Now, Boyle is working on an album, under the direction of Simon Cowell.

Boyle also said, "Being plucked from obscurity is a bit like, you know, going on a long journey. You don't know what's going to happen. You don't know how it's going to end. I don't want it to end".
