Boyle shot to fame five months ago after her debut on Britain’s Got Talent and instantly became a worldwide tabloid fixture. In a video presentation before her performance, Boyle admitted to the difficulties with fame she experienced. “With no pressure, and then having all this pressure on top of it, I found a bit suffocating,” Boyle said in the video.

After Boyle lost the finale, she entered a hospital for exhaustion.

"I don't remember much about it after the finale," Boyle explained. "All I remember is being put in an ambulance and being taken to a clinic. I've never felt so tired. I look back at it now. It was a necessity because I was tired. I don't know what was wrong me with, though."

Boyle triumphantly returned to the US with her performance of the Rolling Stones’ Wild Horses on America’s Got Talent. Her debut record, I Dreamed a Dream debuts November 24. The international superstar has no plans on drifting away from the public spotlight anytime soon, this time, Boyle is back to stay.

"I used to be a kind of spectator looking out at the world, but now I'm part of that world," Boyle said. "And although frightening, I'm going to embrace it, because I feel a bit more confident within myself, more able to cope, more able to take part in the dream."
