23 Apr Essex Woman dubbed The next Susan Boyle’ goes viral on TikTok
Charlotte Forman has become an internet sensation and dubbed ‘the next Susan Boyle’ after belting out some of her favourite tracks in her local Morrisons foyer due to the ‘great acoustics’
Charlotte, originally from Essex, has been compared to singers such as Susan Boyle, Adele and Anastacia after posting her performances on TikTok.
The 28-year-old started singing randomly in the supermarket Morrisons.
Her videos, including Green Green Grass by George Ezra and Purple Rain by Prince have been viewed well over 700,000 times.
Chatting about her rise to fame, Charlotte said:
“The staff look confused at first but they always smile. They are probably thinking why are you doing it in Morrisons, it is such a random place. It’s only for the acoustics!
“Sometimes I still get a bit nervous as they have different security guards and think what if they chuck me out. But they don’t mind and they are quite nice about it. There’s this one security guard who loves it and smiles every time.
“I like to do different songs. Sometimes I try and do songs that are trending on TikTok. A lot of the time they are songs that suit my voice – powerful songs.”
Charlotte shared her first video while visiting the store with her best friend Steff Waring, 30, in July last year.
The singer, songwriter added: “We were looking around Morrisons and we went out into the foyer. Sometimes I start singing a random word and I thought wow that sounds really good in here. The acoustics are incredible. She filmed me doing a George Ezra song and it went viral.”
Charlotte has gained over 3,000 followers since and over 120,000 likes across the popular video sharing platform.
“One of my videos went viral and a lot of comments were saying I was the next Susan Boyle. I think it was because I’m wearing casual clothing and you don’t expect the voice to come out of me.
“I don’t take it in a bad way. She was successful and she sold millions of albums. I take that as a compliment. If they are commenting on my looks it doesn’t bother me. For me it’s mainly about the talent. I’m grateful for the positive comments.
