She was recently interviewed by Meredith Vieira of NBC’s the “Today” show, which is scheduled for broadcast on Wednesday. Boyle told Vieira in her first TV interview since she became a global Internet and TV sensation with millions of fans, of her difficulties with her changed life after appearing on the British talent show.

“Being plucked from obscurity is a bit like, you know, going on a long journey,” said Boyle. And although the journey has been painful at times, Boyle said she doesn’t “…want it to end.

She likened the impact of instant fame to that of a giant “demolition ball.” Boyle said the “Britain’s Got Talent” team has helped her recover from the media onslaught and put the experience in perspective.
