More Feel Goods

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*).
