Morrisons answer to Susan Boyle eyes up collab with icon after going viral

A supermarket singer dubbed the 'next Susan Boyle' is eager to duet with a singing legend.

The talented songstress often belts out ballads standing next to the likes of cleaning products and kindling.

But despite her interesting choice of venue, social media users compare her to Adele and Britain's Got Talent icon Susan Boyle.

As she continues to rack up thousands of views online, Charlotte hopes that she can make a breakthrough into the tough music industry.

The powerhouse hopes to switch the likes of serenading shoppers in the food aisle for performing among the greats – and being named one herself.

With Susan Boyle making her first appearance in a while and Adele having extended her Las Vegas residency, Charlotte hopes that she can follow in the footsteps of the legends.

"I would love to have a career where I travel the world, sing in arenas and eventually stadiums," Durham-based lass exclusively told Daily Star.

"Adele is one of my biggest influences with my song writing so I am always so humbled to be compared to her as she is so talented and I hope to one day stand on a stage and sing with her for sure.

"I've been a fan of Adele since Hometown Glory, her first released track.

"I always knew she would be an influence in my music.

"And I also have a very powerful voice so I think we would both write a great song together!

"Two soulful powerhouses come together.

"But any artist that would love to collaborate with me would just be incredible as I appreciate so many different genres of music."

Charlotte is regularly likened to Susan Boyle because of her unassuming appearance, quirky character and mega pipes – and takes it as a compliment.

Although she wouldn't mind having her own "Susan Boyle moment" that could launch her career, she's not inspired by her music and wants to pave way for her own unique sound.

"Susan Boyle had great success and was a quirky character," Charlotte expressed.

"So I understand how I can be compared because looking at me in this day and age, where unfortunately in the music business sometimes looks matter you would think, 'wow I didn’t expect that voice to come out of her'.

"I take it as a compliment as I love to wow and shock people."

Charlotte has got the shock factor alright after she's amassed hundreds of thousands of views – including more than 300,000 on just one video.

The supermarket sessions in the Consett branch of Morrisons attract compliments that fill Charlotte's comment section.

Some even say that her performances are 'Grammy worthy'.

"You never expect to go viral you always hope that you will because you want so many people to discover your music and what you're about," the singer said.

"But when you do go viral it’s a wonderful thing to connect with all different people around the world who are only just discovering your voice and immediately get drawn in and want to see more.

"I love responding to the comments and saying thank you to everyone who has shared so much love means a lot to me because no matter how successful I get I will always remember those who supported me.

"If I am going to have a Susan Boyle moment that will change my life then I’m ready for it!"

"I've been scouted many times for TV singing programmes and have auditioned a few times.

"I have recently just auditioned for Britain's Got Talent."

Supermarket tour incoming, ladies?

In the meantime, Charlotte has released her own original music which can be found on Spotify.

Her latest song 'Make Me Your Girl' is due to be released in April.

And you can keep up with her supermarket sessions on TikTok.
