The Britain's Got Talent sensation(感觉,感情) will be the star of a one hour documentary produced by Simon Cowell.

I Dreamed A Dream: The Susan Boyle Story will air on the TV Guide Channel in the US on December 13, and will trace her extraordinary journey from obscurity(身份卑微) to global fame. It will feature performances from Boyle alongside interviews with friends and celebrity2 supporters.

The 48-year-old is expected to shift 400,000 copies of her album by the end of the week, becoming the biggest and fastest-selling release of 2009. It sold 130,000 on its first day alone.

Gennaro Castaldo of HMV said: "People of all ages seem to be buying it, and it's clearly going to be one of the must-have gift items this Christmas. Susan's accomplished3 performance on The X Factor has given the album a massive, timely boost."

After singing on Sunday night's X Factor show, the 48-year-old flew to the US where she wowed the audience on the Today show with a performance at the Rockefeller Plaza4 in New York.

She said that one of the songs on her album, a cover of Madonna's You'll See, was a message to the school bullies5(威胁,恐吓) who once made fun of her.

"That was a statement I was trying to make, because I was bullied6 a lot at school - 'you may have done that to me when I was younger, but you can't do it to me any more. I'm grown up now'."

Although the royalty7 cheques arerolling in, Boyle has no plans to move out of the council house in Blackburn, West Lothian, where she lives alone with her cat, Pebbles8.

She said at the weekend: "I don't want to me moving an inch away from my family, and Pebbles doesn't want to move. She's lived there all her life and cats hate upping sticks. Pebbles would hate to live anywhere posh(漂亮的,时髦的)."
