Pope gives Susan Boyd thumbs up!
Boyle gushed to the media this past week that singing for Pope Benedict XVI was definitely "her greatest dream come true."
Boyd, who rose to prominence (and lofty musical realms) after a brief stint on an English talent show, is slated for three performances at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow..
The much-anticipated concert date is going forward (amidst flights of Angels, no doubt) on Thursday September 16th.
The open air Mass which will be attended by the Pope during a brief visit to Scotland.
The Mass is scheduled to commence at precisely 5.15 p.m. that afteroon.
In the pre-Mass programme Ms. Boyle will sing the inspirational hymn "How great thou art" - in addition to her well-known signature song "I dreamed a dream".
At the end of the Mass, the popular vocalist - who now boasts thousands of fans around the globe - will perform what amounts to a farewell song to Pope Benedict as he exits the park to travel on to Glasgow Airport where he'll board a jet to continue a four-day touch-down on British soil.
"To be able to sing for the Pope is a great honour and something I've always dreamed of - it's indescribable. I think the 16th of September will stand out in my memory as something I've always wanted to do, I've always wanted to sing for his Holiness and I can't really put into words my happiness, that this wish has come true at last."
Break a leg, Susan!
