Susan Boyle's international fame is all the more shocking when you consider she's attained it, more or less, through the power of her own voice (and, of course, her breakthrough stint on "Britain's Got Talent").
Many musicians need a bit of a helping hand to get their careers off the ground, but Boyle got there through a lot of determination, talent and luck.
But, no Scottish woman is an island, so we thought we'd suggest some possible duet partners for the singer, going forward.
+ Snoop Dogg
Snoop is apparently already planning a Susan Boyle duet, telling The Sun, "We're going to get our minds together and figure out what we're going to sing about. I'm down with that. There isn't much I can't do."
+ Lady Gaga
Susan Boyle is an avowed fan of Gaga's music and style, claiming, "I think Lady Gaga is a wonderful artist and completely original." The feeling is mutual for Gaga, who said of Susan Boyle, "I think she's amazing, she is so unique and I love that."
+ Justin Bieber
Not trying to be funny, but this would be awesome just for the visual juxtaposition of the diminutive Biebs and the not-diminutive Boyle. (OK, I am trying to be funny.)
+ Celine Dion
Okay, I'm definitely not being funny here. Celine and Susan Boyle share a pop-opera (popera?) sensibility that would probably go over like gangbusters with fans.
+ Black Eyed Peas
While she is massively popular around the world, Susan Boyle could stand to be a bit hipper. So why not a "Boom Boom Pow" one-off with with Fergie and the boys?
