Scottish singer Susan Boyle tells NBC’s “Today Show” that her sudden fame on “Britain’s Got Talent” was “a lot like a giant demolition ball,” the NY Post reports.

In her first extended TV interview since the show ended, Boyle tells NBC’s Meredith Vieira that “Anyone who has that kind of impact…finds it really hard to get a head around it,” adding that “I’ve got to be honest here. I guess I had to get my head around it through the…guidance of a great team.” The interview airs Wednesday, July 22.
