  • "Susan Boyle Professional Singer Second Six Months"

    I just want everybody to know that the LucyB (a Susa-fan) books, "Susan Boyle Professional Singer the First Six Months" and "the Second Six Months" are great collectors items as well as a great reminder of all things Susan!
    These are well put together references with timelines, cross indexes and a complete record of Susan's performances, interviews and news reports.
    LucyB tries to be as objective as possible, but after all, she is a Susa-fan!!!
    I bought these books from the SuboStore so if you want a chronological record of Susan's dream journey, I highly recommend them!

    I'm with you. I told my daughter I wanted these two books in my stocking this year and showed her how to order them from the SuboStore. Can't wait.

          Couldn't agree more. I read the first book awhile ago, and later the second and was totally impressed. Here's the review I wrote:

          I have finally had the opportunity to read LucyB Lightner's first book - Susan Boyle, Professional Singer. It's promoted as a 'reference book' and that it is beginning with a Table of Contents and Timeline Chart and ending with an extensive five part index. But folks - it is SO MUCH MORE!

          I'm awestruck. LucyB gives us a heart pounding trip down memory lane. We relive every moment of those tumultuous first six months in a truly exciting way. I couldn't put it down! Then when I realized I was nearing the end, I did put it down - because I didn't want it to end.

          In these books Susan does not speak; we have her autobiography for that. In these books, we are swept up in the maelstrom that constantly swirls around her - the tabloids, the press, the fans, the critics, the doubters, the tweeters. Slowly, carefully, with infinite detail LucyB reveals the story through day by day reports in the press, from fans, and from 'her team'. The effect is staggering.

          As the buildup begins toward the release of 'I Dreamed A Dream', LucyB uses regular reports of Amazon presales like a drumbeat. The constant steady drum as Susan Boyle marches forward to what we now know will be victory - but at the time we did not know. We hoped.

          Many fans are mentioned, all the wonderful moments are here. The truth is here.

          I got foggy eyed! Research book? Well, it is indeed, it would be an invaluable resource for anyone wanting to know the whole story. For any true Susan Boyle fan - this is your story as well as Susan's.

          LucyB's construction of facts intensifies as we move toward Susan's live performance in New York. The suspense - the drama! The story of how the red scarves came to be, and how Susan's Team and Susan herself supported the idea. The hopes, fears and excitement of the fans. And then the magic.... The Performance. The Quilt.

          And still more drama as slowly the reports begin to filter in about Susan's sales. Around the world. Again, LucyB builds and builds showing how 'Dream' did indeed capture the imagination of the world, and how Susan Boyle achieved what seemed impossible. Perhaps my favorite line of this period is as follows:

          "Final sales figures for Week 3 of IDAD silenced the music critics and stunned the music industry."

          Indeed - and Susan was only getting started! I was sorry to finish this book, but at least I know it is not the end. It is just the beginning!

          If I live to be an old man in a nursing home, these are some of the books I want on my bedside table. They will allow me to relive again the journey of a most incredible woman, and the fans who believed in her from day one.

            I concur with everything said above. I received my two books last week - ordered through the SuboStore. I have given just a quick glance through each, because I know that if I really started reading, I would not be able to extricate myself between this and Christmas. But once Christmas is here and I can relax, I will be able to indulge myself and I am really looking forward to that. From just what I have peeked at, I am totally impressed with the amount of painstaking detail which Lucy has put into these books, as well as the excellent navigational aids for the convenience of the reader. Truly a labour of love. Lucy, you have my thanks and my admiration.

                    I LOVE the first book of LucyB's and look forward to ordering this second one, of course by way of the SuboStore, in January, if I'm lucky enough to get everything paid for this month which needs my 'financial attention'. Oh, I'm gonna order it, all right, if not next month, then the one after that, but I AM gonna order it!

                    These books are 'mandatory' for any Sueper Susafan's library, as they are the ONLY real reference books out there, and they are accurate! Plus, they make for fun reading, and can be used in more than one way!
