What: Britain’s Got Talent and YouTube Supastar, Susan Boyle goes glam for a photoshoot and interview in September’s Harper’s Bazaar.

Quotes from the article:
 

On finding salvation through singing: “As a kid, I was in my own wee world when I listened to records in my bedroom,” she says. “I didn’t mix with other kids much. I was frightened of people because of their reactions toward me.” / “It’s complicated,” she says quietly.  “But the best way I could express myself was in the bedroom, singing along and imagining I was entertaining people.”
   
  On becoming an overnight YouTube sensation: “YouTube? What’s that? A tube of candy? I don’t think so!” She laughs. “That was a shock. The YouTube thing was like a demolition ball. It was just overwhelming—to find TV stations camped outside your door and the phone ringing 24 hours a day. It was good. But overwhelming. It was too big for anyone to handle.”
