Connie Talbot (born 20 November 2000) is an English child singer from Streetly, Metropolitan Borough of Walsall, West Midlands. She rose to fame in 2007 when she reached the final of the television talent show Britain’s Got Talent, where she lost to Paul Potts. Talbot was supposed to sign with Sony BMG but the label pulled out of the deal due to her age.

Talbot signed with Rainbow Recording Company and released her debut album Over the Rainbow in the UK on 26 November 2007. The album was re-released 18 June 2008 with a new track listing, and the first single from the album, “Three Little Birds”, was released on 10 June 2008. Songs from the album are to feature in an upcoming video game about Talbot.

Despite its negative critical reception, Over theRainbow has sold over 250,000 copies worldwide and reached number one in three countries. Since the initial album release, Talbot has performed publicly and on television in Europe, the U.S. and across Asia, where her music had gained recognition through YouTube. Her second album, Connie Talbot’s Christmas Album, was released on 24 November. On top of her musical career, Talbot continues to attend primary school and lives in Streetly with her family.

Christmas Album

In November 2008, it was announced that Talbot had produced a series of new songs for an album over Summer. Recorded in her bedroom studio, Connie Talbot’s Christmas Album was released on 24 November. It is a Christmas themed album, featuring, according to Talbot’s official website, “a mix of classics and modern Christmas tunes”. News was also released of a one-off Christmas special to be shown on ITV1 in the days leading up to Christmas, featuring footage of Talbot’s journey to America and a “secret concert” at her primary school. Talbot appeared at Walsall’s HMV branch shortly after the release of her Christmas Album to sign copies and meet fans. Reviewing the album for Female First magazine, Ruth Harrison gave the album 4/5, saying that Talbot has “a great voice when it comes to swing, but lets us down in parts”.

Personal life

Talbot lives in Streetly, in the West Midlands, and currently attends a state primary school. She lives with her mother, Sharon, her father Gavin, a self-employed property maintenance engineer, her brother Josh, and her sister, Mollie. Talbot sang “Over the Rainbow”, her signature song, at her grandmother’s funeral, because she and her grandmother had enjoyed watching The Wizard of Oz together. Talbot drew confidence in Britain’s Got Talent from the belief that her grandmother was watching, and vowed to win the show in her memory. Despite Talbot speaking positively of the effects of her fame, her parents spoke of a darker side, including having to change their phone number and hire a bodyguard for their daughter.
