Got this from [livejournal.com profile] ginmar :



Some background information here. Isn't she incredible? What I like about the British version of these talent shows is that people of all ages are included. Here is a vid from a year or two ago with another incredible performer:

Thanks for those, Shakatany! Just beautiful. I followed them from here to YouTube to see more of their amazing performances, and found another gem: a 6-year-old, Connie Talbot, making Simon Cowell's jaw drop with her gorgeous rendition of "Over the Rainbow":

Wow she was wonderful - she had Amanda in tears (Amanda even kissed Simon when he said how wonderful Connie was).

This is from our side of the pond - have you heard of Bianca Ryan? She was 11 when she sang this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcEo5H97CLM

*boggles* O__O

I see she won the contest that year, and rightly so. DAYUM! She's not only got the voice, but also the body language and facial expressions of an adult, professional R&B female artist when she sings. And then she stops singing and turns back into a little prepubescent girl. Amazing and adorable! I loved the bit where we see her backstage and she's playing with a Slinky. *g*

My 16-year old informant told me Bianca already has a CD out and there are more vids of her on YouTube (I just loooove YT *g*).

Thanks for that Shak. I'd been wanting to see it since my sisters and our friend Marie were all agog in the car on the way to car boot Sunday, animatedly talking about her. She was fantastic wasn't she? We know how to wow them in Britain. ;)

Please let me know how she does on that show. I'm very curious.
