How Long Will Susan Boyle’s Dream Last?

Susan Boyle does her best Home Alone pose.

By ThisGirl’s Jezza

So Susan Boyle sold 701,000 copies of her debut album, I Dreamed a Dream, in its first week, thanks to word of mouth, underdog appeal, YouTube, and okay, to some degree, talent. That’s more than the 2009 releases by Eminem, Jay-Z and Black Eyed Peas moved in week one. But can she possibly achieve career longevity once the novelty of an ordinary-looking middle-aged pop star wears off? How many dreary, plodding covers of “Wild Horses” can one sit through before throwing up the hands and screaming, “Next!”

Boyle gets the stylist treatment.

P.S. Are you digging her makeover as much as I am?

Dance Away The Weekend….

TGIF, right? *sigh* This has been a rough week for ThisBoy. Between breakups, long meetings and intense (almost vomit-inducing) personal trainer sessions, I am ready to let loose!

Cascada, who is much more famous in Europe, has thrown down a single so fierce that I challenge you to stay perfectly still while listening to it. It’s “bananas sick” and I’m “so dying over it.” Oh wait, that’s not me, that’s Rachel Zoe.

Regardless, it’s a crazy track and I believe it features both Flo Rida and Eminem. Don’t quote me on that.

Editor’s Note: I’ll be enjoying the tropical island of Oahu next week, so I’m afraid I won’t be posting anything new until after Labor Day. I’ll be sure to have a Pina Colada for you. And maybe a hot military man on the side.
