It's the most hotly anticipated album of the year.
And after weeks of waiting, fans have been rewarded for their patience with a sneak peek of Susan Boyle's debut album cover.
The black and white portrait for I Dreamed A Dream shows a smiling Susan, head held in her hands and dressed in a sequinned jumper.

Susan Boyle's new CD is the most hotly anticipated album of the year

She's not changed: Susan Boyle arrives at Heathrow Airport from Los Angeles last month

And even though it does not go on sale until November 23, the album's success is already beyond all doubt.
It has already topped Amazon's bestsellers list, with tens of thousands of copies sold as pre-orders.

The shot was taken from Susan's photoshoot for U.S. magazine Harper's Bazaar.
Susan's appearance in the prestigious magazine was a coup for the woman dubbed the Hairy Angel for her bushy eyebrows and frizzy hair.
The 48-year-old featured in a large spread inside the September issue entitled Susan Boyle: Unsung Hero.
A smiling Susan said: 'It really made me feel like a Hollywood actress. Had my hair done up.'
And the unairbrushed photo should calm fears that Susan's charm would be destroyed with a Hollywood makeover.
Back in April, Amanda Holden dismissed the idea of Susan getting a new look.e
'She needs to stay exactly as she is because that's the reason we love her. She just looks like anybody who could live on your street.
'The minute we turn her into a glamourpuss is when it's spoilt. For now we'll keep her exactly as she is because that's why we've all fallen in love with her.'

I like it, because it's not Photoshopped to hell, and it reflects her personality, IMO.

They should have photographed her in a straitjacket.

I kid, I kid.

I think the album cover is great

I loooooooooooove the cover.
Glamorous and simple. THe smile lines around her eyes are really beautiful.
Cannot see the botoxed shit anymore. Hope wrinkles become the new trend

And I think it's true that she has the ability to inspire people to raise up to their own powers - who do think less of themselves or who haven't had many chances in life. This could be my mom.
That's why so many were moved by her performance.
