Early experience

Connie became interested in singing when she was only 18 months old. In order to support the family, Connie's parents are working outside the home, so Connie spends most of her time with her grandmother who also loves singing, and music has deepened the relationship between Connie and her grandmother. Due to the limited financial conditions at home, Connie's parents can't provide her with vocal lessons. But little Connie became more and more interested in singing. Not only during the day, Connie even sings to herself in her dreams. After searching for a long time, the parents who heard this song in the middle of the night found that it was their daughter singing in her dream. All this made them feel that they had failed their daughter, so they bought Connie a record player worth 39.99 pounds. At the age of six, when she went to preschool, she finished her homework in the second grade of primary school. At school, Connie's exercises and homework are prepared by the teacher alone for her. It was not until the preliminaries were broadcast on TV that people at school knew that Connie had reached the semi-finals.

Performance experience

"Britain's Got Talent" shot to fame in the draft.

Connie Talbot, a little angel in the depths of the rainbow, took part in a TV talent show competition at the age of 6, and her singing skills were amazing, which moved the judges to tears. In 2007, at the age of six, Connie Talbot's participation in Britain's Got Talent was just a family outing. When she appeared in the audition, the judges who were influenced by the poor performance of the previous contestants obviously didn't regard Connie as a talent, but when Connie, 6, started singing, the expressions on the judges' faces became incredible! They never dreamed that Connie could sing this song so perfectly and emotionally. Her outstanding performance made Simon Kaul, a senior consultant of Sony BMG Records, who was the judge at that time, admire her singing skills, saying that her singing has "pure magic" and can make her earn 6,543,800 yuan a year. As one of the judges, Amanda Holden was moved to tears by her voice. After Connie finished singing a oratorio, the audience applauded and the three judges were shocked for a long time. SimonCowell, one of the judges of the British draft competition and a senior consultant of SONYBMG Records, said to Connie, "You are really great. I only have one question: did you really sing this? " ! In fact, Connie Talbot has never received professional training, and the judges were amused by her toothless smile. Connie made it to the semi-finals of the top 24. In the preparation of the semi-final, Connie practiced a little more, which made her hoarse in the performance of the semi-final, but this did not affect the audience and the judges' love for her. In the semi-final, she sang Michael Jackson's song Ben brilliantly, and she directly advanced to the final with the highest voting rate. The final was on Father's Day. Connie wore a lovely golden dress, and she sang the song "SomewhereOverTheRainbow" in the preliminary contest. However, Connie's performance was not boring. On the contrary, the three judges, the audience and thousands of TV viewers were completely attracted by her singing.

Connie's performance in the final was perfect, but unfortunately she didn't become the final champion (which is actually good and normal). However, Simon, one of the best music critics in pop music and one of SonyBMG executives, offered to sign the contract. If nothing happens, Connie and Sgt Talent of Britain will both become signing singers of SonyBMG. That's it. Her first performance was encouraged by international public opinion. In the semi-final, she sang Michael Jackson's song "Ben" brilliantly and won the first vote, which enabled Connie to enter the final smoothly. On the day of the final, Connie sang the song Rainbow Starlight from The Wizard of Oz, which attracted three judges, live audience and thousands of TV viewers.

Connie is still so naive and self-centered after she became famous. Such a 6-year-old and inexperienced Connie prefers to eat fish and chips at home. Connie's mother said that she hoped Connie could grow up healthily and happily, fearing that the entertainment circle would hurt her daughter. If Connie really wants to be a singer, then she will do her best to protect Connie's innocence.

SonyBMG Music Entertainment Company had planned to sign a contract with Connie Talbot for nearly one million yuan, but after recording two songs, OverTheRainbow and smile, the company changed its mind. The company told Connie's mother, "Connie is too young to be the artist the company wants. We have informed the company looking for child stars. " And said: "If the time is right, we will be happy to sign with Connie."
