Susan Boyle: 'Aussie X Factor was surreal experience'

Susan Boyle has revealed that she enjoyed her appearance on The X Factor Australia on Tuesday night.

The British singer, who is currently on a press trip in Australia, said that meeting judges Ronan Keating and Mel B was a "highlight" of her trip.

Boyle said: "Another wonderful day in Sydney and my first TV performance on Australian X Factor and boy, it was great. Not only did I get to meet the wonderful Ronan Keating (I'm a huge Boyzone fan), I also met Michael Bolton. Wow, what a man!"



She revealed that singing new single 'Autumn Leaves' on the live show was a "great experience", but admitted that it felt "slightly surreal" because Sydney was enjoying "hot spring weather".

"I brought the Scottish weather with me," she continued. "There was an almighty thunderstorm just before I went on stage, with torrential rain and gale force winds. I felt right at home!"

She added: "It was also lovely to meet Mel B, she looks wonderful and so happy. Who'd have thought she'd only just had a baby!

"This trip so far has been fantastic and I've achieved and seen so many things that I never for a second thought I'd do in my lifetime. I don't want it to end, as I keep saying, 'Bring it on!'"



In Tuesday night's X Factor host Luke Jacobz confirmed that Kylie Minogue will definitely be performing at the grand final.
