Connie Talbot

In 2007, an aspiring singer stepped onto the soundstage of England's enormously popular TV program Britain's Got Talent, flashed an adorable gap-toothed smile and instantly won the heart of the notoriously crusty Simon Cowell - yes, that Simon Cowell - as well as the British viewing public . In just a couple of minutes, a true star had been born.

Over the past couple of years that young lady has become an international phenomenon, with millions of YouTube views, glowing media coverage and a best-selling album—a feat made all the more remarkable by the fact that Connie Talbot was all of 7 years old.

Since then the Connie Talbot phenomenon has skyrocketed not only in the U.K., where Over the Rainbow went gold in three weeks, but in other European and Asian countries as well and also in the US. In America Connie’s album reached the #7 spot on the Heatseakers chart in Billboard Magazine and the single ‘Three Little Birds’ reached the #1 spot on the Hot 100 Singles Sales Chart. Recently the Guinness Book of World Records certified Talbot as the new reigning champion in the categories of youngest artist in the UK ever to reach the charts and the youngest to receive a gold record.

In the fall Connie released her new holiday themed album in the US. The CD is titled Connie Talbot's Holiday Magic and features Connie's interpretation on holiday classics and fan favorites. Connie has also recorded an hour long television special for PBS, making her (at 8 years old) the youngest artist to ever do so.

In early summer Connie announced she would be releasing a holiday themed album in America. The CD is titled Connie Talbot’s Holiday Magic and will feature Connie’s Along with the album Connie will be recording an hour long television special for PBS.

The holiday album and new television special will cap off an incredibly prolific and successful year for the rising star. Recently named child ambassador for the 2009 Marine Toys for Tots campaign, Connie plans to donate part of the proceeds from CD sales in support of the worthy charity.
