Susan Boyle 'to sing for the Pope'

In April church leaders said they wanted Ms Boyle, who would be a ''great asset'' to the events planned for the Pontiff's visit in September, to sing in Glasgow. Today a spokesman for the Catholic Church in Scotland said: ''Negotiations are still under way but we expect Susan Boyle to perform as part of the Papal Mass at Bellahouston Park.'' It will be the first Papal visit to Britain since 1982 when Pope John Paul II's six-day tour drew It will also be the first official Papal visit to Britain.


Yesterday it was confirmed an open mass would be held at Bellahouston Park. More than half of the 185,000 Catholics who attend Sunday services across Scotland will be able to attend the mass on September 16. The 450 parishes in Scotland will receive a pro-rata allocation of places based on their mass attendance figures. Thousands more are expected to line the route of the Pope's motorcade through Edinburgh earlier in the day. A St Ninian's Day Pageant in Edinburgh is also planned, with school children and pipe bands taking part.

Boyle, a former church worker, became an international star when her performance of I Dreamed A Dream from the musical Les Miserables stunned the audience and judges on Britain's Got Talent last year. She eventually finished runner-up in the TV talent show.



What can I say?

I really think Boyle can sing very well and lot of other people around the world thinks the same. Boyle will be honoured to sing for the pope and people in Britain. She hadn't been seen in public for moths. I'am curious.
