IMAGINE - Connie Talbot with Kipper Eldridge

Message from Connie

I'm really looking forward to the rest of the Young Voices concerts that I'm doing; they're so much fun. I enjoy singing my new song "Building Bridges", and meeting all the really nice and kind people who I've met so far, but most of all I really love having the opportunity to sing with all the amazing people in the Young Voices choir. I can't wait for the next performance! ♥ Connie xx

Young Voices Concert Tour 2013

Connie Talbot will be performing in the UK as a celebrity guest star in the Young Voices concert tour 2013 later this month. The dates are listed below.

This is the second year in a row that Connie has featured as a guest in this series.

Connie has just returned from her amazing 3 week tour of south east Asia, promoting her new album Beautiful World, so she will have a couple of weeks rest before she starts into this UK tour.

Young Voices, now in its 16th year, provides a unique opportunity for thousands of children to participate in a large arena concert.
You can find more details about the Young Voices initiative here http://www.youngvoices.co.uk/
Being present at a Young Voices concert is an unforgettable experience - and it's loud! (If you don't believe us, scroll down now to watch the video below.)

Most of the tickets are sold to parents and friends of the children in the choirs, but usually there are a few tickets left over for sale to the public. Check with the individual venues for availability.

Young Voices make their own professionally produced DVDs of the events for sale, so naturally they discourage people from recording the concerts. This means that a lot of the videos of YV on YouTube are rather shaky and distant, using hand-held phones etc.

However, last year a member of Connie's team, Daniel Smart, was allowed to film one of Connie's performances using a tripod-held HD camera at the LG Arena, Birmingham, England. Connie Talbot sings "Run" by Snow Patrol, a song that means a lot to her, and which she performed with the backing of thousands of young singers.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

We like this clip. It shows Connie appearing on a TV show in Jakarta, Indonesia. It's really nice to see all those happy, smiling faces, and everybody having fun.
Connie sings her own song BEAUTIFUL WORLD, from her new album of the same name, and also the traditional song TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR.

Happy New Year to everyone around the world. :)

One Million Views for "Connie Talbot - Someone Like You - 10 weeks into playing piano"

Connie's video "Connie Talbot - Someone Like You - 10 weeks into playing piano" has been viewed more than one million times since it was uploaded on August 26th, 2011. "Someone Like You" by Adele was one of Connie's favorite songs at the time.

This was a re-upload from Connie's previous YouTube channel. It had been recorded several months before, almost exactly 10 weeks after Connie had her very first ever lesson on the piano.

This is now the 14th video on Connie's channel to achieve one million views or more.

Beneath Your Beautiful

Connie's upload on YouTube today of a song she learned only yesterday: Beneath Your Beautiful by Labrinth ft. Emeli Sande.

"SAIL AWAY" Preview - Connie in California video passes 500,000 view mark!

When Connie came to Los Angeles in April, we thought it would be interesting for her to record an original "Pop" song.  Noted songwriter/producer Robbie Nevil, came up with SAIL AWAY for us and on a Sunday morning, at Robbie's studio in Santa Monica, Connie stepped up to the microphone.

We all loved what we heard.  What started out as an "experiment" turned into a fun and popular song for Connie.  The little video we put together just passed 500,000 views on YouTube!

Produced and released independently, the song is doing well on iTunes and the other digital download sites.  We are starting to get radio airplay worldwide and we've made a distribution deal for the song in Japan, where Connie has many fans.  The popular teen music website TweenPopRadio has a Top 40 list and Connie has been at #1 for five straight weeks... ahead of One Direction, Demi Lovato, Maroon5, Carly Rae Jepsen, even Justin Bieber.

As most of you know, Connie has recorded 4 new songs with multi-platinum songwriter/producer Toby Gad.  Two of the songs, Connie co-wrote!  Hopefully, she will be back in the studio with Toby soon, to produce more tracks with the goal of an album in mind.

Plans are in the works for Connie to record an album for the Asian market and a trip to Hong Kong in December to promote it.

Going back to SAIL AWAY for a moment... it is really important that folks support the single by purchasing it.  Unfortunately, today, only about half of the digital downloads for songs are legal ones.  Piracy has really hurt the music industry, the artists and all of the supporting people who make music for us to listen to possible.  So, just remember how hard artists like Connie work to entertain us all and share with us their special talent.  Isn't a dollar worth it to keep the music coming from people like Connie?  If you haven't done it yet, please visit iTunes, CDBaby, Amazon or your favorite legitimate download site and do your part to support your favorite artists.

If you haven't seen the SAIL AWAY preview video yet, have a look... it's pure Connie!

SAIL AWAY Covers

Since the karaoke version of Connie's original song SAIL AWAY has been released, we have been amazed to see so many people uploading covers of the song on YouTube! Connie is really delighted by them. She said in her recent interview with Sina, the gigantic media company from China, that it was one of her ambitions to have other people covering her songs.

All the covers are brilliant, each one in its own different way. You all did a great job!

Now the plan is to collect all the covers together on one video page on Connie's website. So if you have made a cover of SAIL AWAY, and you would like it to appear on the website, please place it on the timeline of Connie's Facebook page.

If you haven't yet made a cover, why not give it a try? Now's your chance! :-)

Connie's song SAIL AWAY is available worldwide in vocal or karaoke versions from iTunes, Amazon, or CDBaby.
