Hotest Album in this week: Susan Boyle' s dream
The 48-year-old Britain's Got Talent runner-up shifted more than 130,000 copies of her debut album as it went on sale on Monday. Experts at the Official Charts Company said it is now set to become one of the fastest sellers of the decade.
I Dreamed A Dream looks to be on track to vie for the accolade of having this year's biggest first week sale, a record held by JLS for their self-titled which sold over 230,000 copies earlier this month.
It also includes the standard Cry Me a River, as well as covers of Madonna's You'll See and The Monkees' Daydream Believer.
Boyle's album last week achieved the largest ever pre-order for online retailer Amazon. She said: ''It was my greatest ambition to release an album and I have finally achieved it. There is happiness out there for everyone who dares to dream.''
Boyle launched her album with a performance on The X Factor on Sunday during which she sang her version of The Rolling Stones song Wild Horses. A huge crowd watched the performance seven months after her sensational debut on Britain's Got Talent.
Miss Boyle said: "I've grown up a bit. I've become more of a lady. I don't swivel my hips as much, you know? It feels very surreal, as if it's not really happening." She said: "That was a statement I was trying to make, because I was bullied a lot at school - 'You may have done that to me when I was younger, but you can't do it to me anymore. I'm grown up now'." She added: "From no pressure to having all this pressure, I found it a bit suffocating. It was such a short space of time, it felt like a demolition ball really. It really came at me like a demolition ball.
The things which mattered to me before 'Britain's Got Talent,' they still matter to me now: my faith, my friends, family. I'm not so cooped up now; I'm part of the world."

How to Travel? —— written before Christma
Before go travel, about places, you do a bit of understanding and open up a list of must-see spots, or without any information and expectations, just depend on intuition or the wizard's guide to experience?
All different characters, different motives to travel, it is no matter good or bad, right or wrong. If you just want to find a comfortable environment to forget fatigue, resolve troubles, bask, eat a meal, and I still wish you happy. Sometimes I was such a mentality.
Tourists and those who travel
However, when I traveled alone in the age of 20, I was not so much charitable spirit.
I had classified the travelers into two categories: tourists and traveler. Tourists seek ease and comfort, with the burden of their material and cultural sunglasses flying and air-conditioning coaches go into other people's habitat space, live in star hotel themselves isolation with the locals, then walk away and leave after bought a couple of souvenirs.
Traveler is not, bumps in the crowded long-distance buses with the local farmers and construction workers, eats in a food stalls or find a shop. The accommodation is also simple.
Contact
I think that the tourism and travel is not really incompatible, but also feel appeal about the health and comfort. But in each place, we should try to talk to some local people, to evade international chain coffee shops or fast-food shops, as well as those tourist hotels which local residents isolated from.
Wherever she went up communication and contact with people is the travel writer Jan • Morris claims. She wrote a lot travel literature over the past half a century, in the just published "contact ", she talked decade’s experience of contact with the various characters.
Morris claims do not like travel literature, at least do not like those who give a guiding navigation books, her books never tell the reader what can be seen in one place, because she said that everyone will see different things.
What she likes to read is what she likes to write.It is a place for the author's feelings.
Severial rules
Now 83-year-old Morris said in a radio interview in order to immerge in wherever she go, she sets a few rules for herself.
One of the rules is based on writer Foster (EM Forster, 1879 - 1970). When he talked approach about how to understand the City of Alexandria, Egypt. That is "no target stroll."
Secondly, she said she was also in accordance with "the Bible • Psalms," which exhorted herself, "like a dog, open your mouth, smiled and walked in the city," to seek good returns from locals.
Flavor
Morris latest book is a text but all fine language and concise description. It is usually long as a half-page or whole page or short as three lines or five lines. Each of the articles only takes account of just one person she met, one thing, or one thought in mind.
For example, talking about his hat with an Australian child, discussing with a Dutch man anout the situation in the country, or one thought when watched a performance in Chinese Children's Palace.
There is an article write about the feeling generated when the native people watched her in mangrove swamps in Fiji. She felt as if she was swallowed by their eyes, and associated the place used to be a cannibalism place.
It initially feared her, but ultimately the felling was: "Actually, to be eaten in Fiji, I would not mind too much. Their pot will be placed on a variety of spices, they will slowly cooked with small fire and the whole occasion is certainly very happy. "
Travel Art
Morris obviously played a bit of imagination here, which is what I read from time to time over the past few years, “The Art of Travel”, the author strongly advocated for.
Philosopher Alain (Alain de Botton) analysis the people’s expectations before the trip in this book (in fact, is also largely of himself), as well as people's curiosity and the pursuit of the exotic, and "the art of opening eyes" and "the owner of a beauty."
