(check out the photo section for exclusive studio shots from the session). The first mix is completed: 'Somewhere over the rainbow' naturally, and a 30 second sample has been exclusively added to the music player. http://www.connietalbot.com/version2/connie-talbot-news.php?page=14 404613944101 2007-10-17 Connie Talbot is six years old and stands just 3 9 tall in her bare feet but has already conquered the hearts of the nation. Who could not remember and be moved by her rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow at the Britains Got Talent auditions in Birmingham: The song she first performed two years earlier for the funeral of her beloved grandmother. For her second public performance at the auditions, her voice rang out so crystal clear and perfect that the hard-bitten and weary panellists Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan were rendered speechless and gave the little girl from Sutton Coldfield a standing ovation. ]]> ]]>Her journey did not end there and, ultimately, she performed at the Grand Finals only coming second to classically trained opera singer Paul Potts. It might have been Potts that won but its the image of Connies happy tooth-free grin that has stayed imprinted in everyones minds. A fact highlighted by the incredible 18 million plays that her performances have so far garnered on YouTube. ]]> ]]>Connie, born to an ordinary working class family from the West Midlands, has sung her heart out since the age of 18 months and far from being the formulaic produce of a stage school has instead honed her skills on a 39.99 karaoke machine. ]]> ]]>Although her parents, Gavin and Sharon, were initially reluctant to give their precious daughter to the glare of celebrity, it was clear to all that little Connie Talbot was born to sing and perform. Such a cherished and rare gift is impossible to deny and Connie will be releasing her first full album on 26th November of this year - expect that happy grin to stay firmly in place for the foreseeable future. ]]> ]]>Tracks on the forthcoming album include Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Ben, Walking In The Air, My Favourite Things and her mums favourite I Had A Dream. ]]> ]]>"This girl is just special, I have never felt such a powerful silence in my life as when Connie sang. It was pure magic. Simon Cowell. ]]> http://www.connietalbot.com/version2/connie-talbot-news.php?page=14 404613944102 2007-10-16
