Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Britain's Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle may be appearing on a Christmas episode of season two of Fox's hit series GLEE. Both Boyle and the TV series are on Columbia Records, which released 'GLEE: The Music, Volume 3 - Showstoppers' yesterday.
When asked what role Boyle would play on the series, GLEE's creator Ryan Murphy had this to say: "I have two words for you: Lunch. Lady. I think Kurt would just die to give her a Christmas makeover. I don't even know if she's interested but it's been pitched."
In addition to the Boyle rumors, Murphy also mentioned the possibility of a GLEE Christmas album, which would be released next holiday season. As of yet, neither Boyle's appearance or the album have been confirmed.
After an audition for "Britain's Got Talent," in which Susan immediately impressed the judges, the audience and then anyone with access to YouTube's expectations by singing her way through a version of "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserables. A tornado of rumination and amazement grew around Susan Boyle feverishly, with over 300 Million YouTube hits and nearly two million Facebook friends to prove it.
GLEE follows an optimistic teacher who - against all odds and a malicious cheerleading coach - inspires McKinley High's Glee Club to conquer the world one singing competition at a time. GLEE stars Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Jessalyn Gilsig, Jane Lynch, Jayma Mays, Kevin McHale, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Matthew Morrison, Amber Riley, Mark Salling and Jenna Ushkowitz.
GLEE is produced by Ryan Murphy Television in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan are co-creators of the series. Murphy, Falchuk and Dante di Loreto serve as executive producers, while Ian Brennan serves as co-executive producer.
GLEE airs Tuesday nights at 9:00-10:00PM ET/PT.
