Susan Boyle dreamed a dream -- and it's about to come true.

The Brit singing phenom will find a $6 million-plus check in her bank account on her 49th birthday, April 1 -- her first payday since she wowed the world with her heavenly voice singing "I Dreamed A Dream" on the TV show "Britain's Got Talent" last year.

The paycheck represents what Boyle has earned from her chart-topping album and a string of international appearances, Britain's Daily Mail reported yesterday.

She plans to plunk down a hunk of the change on a change of address.

"Fame hasn't changed her, but she recognizes that money will bring her security, and that's why she's looking for a new home," the newspaper quoted a source saying. The singer plans to stay close to her roots, buying a new home in Blackburn, the town where she's lived her whole life.

I wonder how often Ronald has visited England? They have an extremely high standard of living, almost free college education (of a far higher standard than ours), an excellent natioanl health plan that VIPs from all over go to London for.
they also have Susan Boyle - fabulous voice - non Barbie appearance. Go Susan go for you next $6 million.
