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 CONCERT DATES 2013

14th January 2013 – The O2 Arena London
15th January 2013 – The O2 Arena London

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. :)

Many New Friends

In the past few days, there have been lots of people from Indonesia, coming to read this Connie Talbot Official blog, and also Connie's Facebook page and Twitter. Connie's management would like to welcome all these new friends, and to thank you for your support for Connie.

Indonesia is a great country, and very beautiful, and Connie has really enjoyed her first visit there. She has made many new friends. We hope it won't be long before she can visit again, and maybe next time she will be able to stay longer.

Connie has felt a lot of positive emotion at the warm welcome she has received in all the countries she has visited in south east Asia during the Beautiful World tour in the past two weeks - Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia. Everyone has been very friendly and kind in every place she has visited.

Once again, on Connie's behalf, thank you all for your kindness and support.

#ConnieFriends forever :)

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.

Connie's "Price Tag" Video Reaches Half Million Views

Connie's "Price Tag" home video has just reached over 500,000 (half a million) views on YouTube. It was uploaded on August 27th, 2011 when Connie was 10 years old.

If you listen very carefully, you might just hear someone ringing the doorbell!

You probably will also notice that Connie is wearing a thick woolly sweater even though the video was made in the middle of the summer. That gives you some idea of what the weather in England can be like occasionally. :)

Best wishes from Connie's team :)

Connie Talbot Arrives in Hong Kong

Connie has now arrived in Hong Kong for the first stage of her mini tour of South East Asia to promote her new album, Beautiful World. One of the first things she did was to tweet a photo of the view across the harbour from her hotel room.

Today, Connie will be settling in and getting some rest. Then she will be starting rehearsals for her first performance of the tour, at Windsor House, which is a 17-storey shopping and entertainment complex in the Causeway Bay district of Hong Kong. That will take place at 3pm on Saturday, December 15th.

Then it's off to the Philippines for 3 performances in different locations in Manila on the 16th and 17th. A busy schedule.

Hope she will be able to find some spare time to go shopping!


Which Video Has The Most Smiles?

From Connie's management team: A comment on Facebook from one of our friends, about the effect of all the smiles in one of Connie's videos, started us to wondering if we could find the answer to a very important question.

Of all the 100 or so videos on Connie's YouTube channel, which one has the greatest number of smiles?

Naturally, a question like this can only be solved by a careful and detailed observation of all the evidence. So we decided the best way was to watch every one of all the 100 or so videos, and count the number of smiles in each one. The trouble was that after a while we found we were enjoying Connie's music so much that we started to lose count.

So the question still needs an answer.

Whatever the final answer proves to be, we'd like to suggest that, of all the 100 or so videos, this next video would be definitely one of the top contenders. It's a cover made just for fun at home of "Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars, who is one of Connie's favorite singers.


This video is not far away from one million views on YouTube.
Please click through to watch on YouTube, and please Comment, Like, Subscribe, and Share with all your friends. Thanks!

An interesting thing happened to this video some months ago. All of a sudden, people started to write comments sending love from their own country. It had not been planned, it was just spontaneous. This went on and on for several days, until almost every country was represented.

It was brilliant!

Hopelessly Devoted

Connie Talbot sings "Hopelessly Devoted To You" from the musical "Grease", a song that was made famous by Olivia Newton-John.

Connie first sang this song in public at the age of 4, when she entered a talent contest while on a family summer holiday down in Devon. The judges were so impressed that they awarded Connie the top prize! The contest's presenter predicted that she would be performing in London's West End by the time she reached 17.

When this video was uploaded on Connie's YT channel, we were all a bit worried at first, because it seemed to be getting less views than some other videos around it. But anyway, it picked itself up later, and now it has more than half a million views!

Watch the video on YouTube, and please Like, Comment, Subscribe, and Share with all your friends :)

Lyrics to "Building Bridges" by Connie Talbot

From Connie's team:
Some people have asked us for the lyrics to Connie's original song "Building Bridges", the live performance of which was uploaded by Connie on her channel Connie Talbot Official a few days ago.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkfWXd7q8GU

So here are the lyrics to the song!

Building Bridges

Maybe a stranger is a friend you haven't met yet,
Cos there's an ocean in between,
Cos there's a smile you haven't seen.

Maybe somewhere somebody's thinking 'bout you right now,
In a place you've never been,
But you've seen it in dream.

It may be closer than we think,
But we won't know till we begin.

Building bridges,
From heart to heart,
From soul to soul,
Building bridges,
So far away can be so close,
Eight billion wishes can come true,
There's always something we can do,
Building bridges,
From me to you,
From me to you.

Maybe we're different like the colors of the rainbow,
But underneath the sun,
We all shine as one.
Everywhere round the world all the walls are falling,
Through the rubble there's a song,
It's the calm before the storm.

It may be closer than we think,
But we won't know till we begin.

Building bridges,
From heart to heart,
From soul to soul,
Building bridges,
So far away can be so close,
Eight billion wishes can come true,
There's always something we can do,
Building bridges.

One blue marble lonely in the universe,
It's the same small world we're in,
So let's begin.

Building bridges,
From heart to heart,
From soul to soul,
Building bridges,
So far away can be so close.

Building bridges,
From heart to heart,
From soul to soul,
Building bridges,
So far away can be so close,
Eight billion wishes can come true,
There's always something we can do,
For building bridges,
From me to you,
From me to you,
Building bridges.
