Susan Boyle wants to be ‘as big as The Beatles’

LONDON - Singing sensation Susan Boyle says she wants to be as big as The Beatles and desires to play together with Sir Paul McCartney.

Despite becoming the only artist apart from the Fab Four and The Monkees to ever have simultaneous No1 albums both in the UK and US twice in a year, Susan insists her dream is far from complete.

“The Beatles are still around now, their records live on. I hope to be in the same calibre one day,” the Sun quoted her as saying.

“I know I’ve got a lot to do yet though. I’d like to meet Paul. If he ever wanted to perform together, I’d have no problem with it - here I am, baby!”

Meeting Macca would be “up there” with performing for the Pontiff - a life-long ambition devout Catholic Susan realised two months ago in Glasgow.

“Everybody has their own draw. Meeting the Pope was an entirely different atmosphere, it was a spiritual journey I was on,” she said.

“But spiritually, meeting Paul would be up there as well,” Susan said.

The singer, who shot to fame on Britain’s Got Talent, has gone from an unknown wannabe to a record-breaking global superstar in less than two years. (ANI)
