It's probably safe to say that Susan Boyle never dreamed a dream like this.
Though she hasn't even won Britain's Got Talent, the Scottish singing sensation is already a champ, riding her wave of international fame right onto The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Just in time for May sweeps, the 47-year-old Boyle will appear on Monday's episode of Oprah Winfrey's syndicated chatfest, giving viewers a tour of the humble singer's equally modest home.
Winfrey's production crew descended on her Blackburn, Scotland, home on Tuesday and spent several hours getting a Boyle-guided tour of the pad and interviewing supportive neighbors. She's also expected to appear, no doubt via Skype, for an interview with Winfrey. While anything less than first place will now be a global upset (sound familiar, Adam Lambert?), Boyle is currently in Scotland preparing to compete in the semifinal round of the show.
She'll be joined on Monday's Oprah episode, dubbed "The World's Got Talent," by talent scout extraordinaire Simon Cowell, as well as other "next big things" from around the globe.
