From MTV Newsroom - Susan Boyle Should Forget Elaine Page Duet, Hook Up With Katy Perry Instead

By Eric Ditzian

Before Susan Boyle busted into her version of “I Dreamed a Dream,” when the “Britain’s Got Talent” crowd was still laughing at her, she confessed that she wanted to be a singer in the mold of Elaine Page, a famous British theater actress and chanteuse. We all know what happened next: Boyle blew everyone away and became an overnight, worldwide sensation.

But what most Americans didn’t know is who the heck this Elaine Page woman is. Apparently, she’s beloved in Britain. And, according to People magazine, Page wrote in her blog that she’d love to sing a duet with Boyle. That’s sweet and all, but if Boyle is going to make it as a recording artist in the States, she’s going to have to pick a much more well-known duet partner. We at MTV News really want Boyle to make it, so here’s our suggestion of eight artists Boyle would be wise to start crooning with.

Katy Perry: By her own admission, Boyle has never been smooched. Who better to duet with than the woman behind the international hit “I Kissed a Girl”? Hey, maybe she’d even like it.

Celine Dion: On “Larry King Live,” the newly famous Boyle belted out a goose bump-inducing version of Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On.” Dion, meanwhile, has a strong history of duet success, including a chart-topper with R. Kelly, “I’m Your Angel.” A Boyle/Dion collaboration screams — no, beautifully harmonizes — a Billboard hit.
