Susan Boyle has gone from karaoke to Oprah.

The never-been-kissed singing sensation won hearts –and YouTube infamy– with an enduring performance of “I Dreamed A Dream” on Britain’s Got Talent last Saturday, and now she has been invited to appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

“It has been surreal for me,” Susan told The Associated Press from her home in Blackburn, Scotland on Thursday. “I’m going to be on ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show,’ CBS and other American networks.”

“I didn’t realize this would be the reaction, I just went on stage and got on with it,” Susan added.

“I did this for my late mother,” Boyle said. “I wanted to show her I could do something with my life.”
