If there is one thing "The Oprah Winfrey Show" will do for an artist, it is revitalize in a public interest in whatever you have going on. For Susan Boyle, she already was in an enviable position prior to the show: her debut album, "I Dreamed a Dream," spent six weeks at #1 before falling ultimately to Ke$ha last week and Vampire Weekend this time around.

What does this mean? It's increasingly likely that Susan could jump back up to #1 thanks to her "Oprah" performance of "Who I Was Born to Be." "I Dreamed a Dream" has already sold over 8 million copies around the globe, which is a stellar achievement when you consider that Susan was an unknown before appearing on "Britain's Got Talent" last year.

The only real question left for Susan is when she if she will go on tour and when she will head back to the studio for an another album. Considering the singer's past history of exhaustion, it's pretty unlikely that she will ever go city-to-city on a tour bus. However, it would be hard to rule out her doing a series of concert at Madison Square Garden or in Las Vegas.

What do you think Susan Boyle should do next? Let me know your thoughts with a comment below and stay tuned for more TV news.

    I think Susan should sing using her Boyle wiggle so that she can be performing and entertaining as well. She should now start to do a little bit of walking or wiggling or addressing her audience just like what she did when she perform and sang "Fame" 10 years ago.

    myriam, the kind of music that Susan's been singing requires her to just stand there and sing. Dancing around to Who I Was Born To Be would ruin the whole thing.
    I'm happy to watch her just sing and listen to that glorious voice, but maybe in the future they'll allow her to sing other types of music.
    She certainly has the capability of singing just about anything.
