Viddy 10K

Another milestone! Connie's page on Viddy.com has now reached 10,000 followers. On Viddy, they write that number as 10K. This is an amazing success, and puts Connie into the top ranks on this relatively new social media platform. We are very proud of her achievement.

Connie has already made some waves at Viddy. Only last week, her videos were #1 in all the main charts on Viddy, Featured, Popular, and Trending, all at the same time!

Why not swing by Connie's page, and follow (if you're not already doing so). Also, why not watch all the viddys there? Each one lasts only 15 seconds, so you could watch them all in less than half an hour.

Busy Weekend

Today Connie was displaying on Twitter a little injury she received while playing field hockey - when she came into contact with a stick. Maybe another player thought she was the ball? It doesn't look too bad, Connie! Hope it gets better soon.

It's been quite a sporty weekend, as Connie was also watching a game of rugby, in which Ryan (her sister Mollie's friend) was playing.

On top of all this, she was keeping very busy by uploading a new Viddy, where she sings and plays piano on a performance of "Best Thing I Never Had" by Beyoncé. http://www.viddy.com/video/34409aad-58b5-44b9-8bff-2b1af0e1f29e

Skyfall

Just a few days ago, Connie posted a Viddy of her singing "Skyfall" from the new James Bond film. In the movie, the song is performed by Adele during the opening credits. We hope you like it. Don't forget to follow Connie on Viddy if you are not doing so already.

Viddy Followers

Posted by Connie's team:

Here's some news. Connie's page on Viddy.com http://www.viddy.com/connietalbot607 is just about to hit 7,000 followers (or 7K as they call it on Viddy).

It's funny, because it seems like no time at all since the day we first announced on this blog that Connie had joined Viddy. Time flies when you're having fun!

Here's a little puzzle for our readers: Can you find the date of the post on this blog where that announcement was made? And can you calculate the average number per day of Connie's new followers since the announcement?

Best wishes from Connie's team.

Connie's New Album Almost Finished

From Connie's team:

Connie has almost finished recording her new album, and she had a lot of fun making it. We hope you guys will all have fun listening to it when it's released, and tell all your friends so they can have fun too!







On her Twitter page ConnieTalbot607 today, Connie said: "Well I have had a brilliant time recording this album and its almost finished! Time flies when you are enjoying yourself"

This weekend, Connie was putting the finishing touches to it - vocal effects, and background vocals, in which even her dad, Gavin, took part!








Here's Connie's latest viddy with producers Kipper Eldridge and Bradley Mair, showing off their amazing skills at "Double Double This".

More Viddys This Weekend

From Connie's team:

Connie has been hard at work making viddys on Viddy.com. This weekend, she uploaded no fewer than four of them!

Here's a question for you: Can you guess what they all had in common?

No prizes... they all feature Connie playing guitar. (Just in case anyone thought she had given up the guitar to concentrate on piano?) Shall we ask Connie if she was inspired by the amazing guitar playing of Kipper Eldridge in their recent "Imagine" video?

With these four viddys, Connie has built up her followers even more, so she now only needs a few more to reach 5,000 followers! Tell your friends...

The most popular of Connie's viddys from yesterday is this one.
(It was also the #2 most popular viddy on Viddy.com worldwide within hours after upload:)

Two Great New Milestones

Just this week, Connie reached two great new milestones on her social media pages.

The first was Connie's Facebook page, which reached and surpassed 10,000 likes!






The second was Connie's page on Viddy.com, where the number of followers showed for the first time in K numbers! The page hit the first K about 11 days ago, and has since raced up to 2.41K.

Not sure what a K number is? Well, K stands for 1,000, and that means 2.41K stands for 2,410 followers (rounded to the nearest 10). So now you know!

Well done Connie! And One K of thanks to all of you lovely people who have joined Connie's social media pages. You are all showing excellent musical taste when you choose Connie as your favorite pop music star!

See you later,

Simon

Connie Talbot is on Viddy

This is just to let you know that Connie is now on Viddy.

The way we found out about Viddy was rather curious. Connie’s manager, Rod Paul, happened to be reading the newspapers one day (as you do) and he came across an article in the Los Angeles Times about a mobile app/website known as Viddy which has been attracting followers very fast recently. 

Viddy has been called "the Twitter for videos" - you follow people, they follow you, and everyone uploads videos, but they must be 15 seconds or less. The mobile app is only available on the iPhone right now, but an Android version will be ready soon, they tell us. Of course, you can always watch Viddy from a PC or a Mac, if you prefer that.

So, Rod showed the article to Connie and her sister Mollie, and they checked out the Viddy app. They thought it was a really good idea, and Connie was eager to get started with it. 

Later that day, Connie showed me her list of ideas for possible viddys. At first glance, all I could see was a page full of amazing pictures and words and colors and swirly bits everywhere. I said, “Wow, Connie, that’s a great piece of artwork! Maybe you should put it on exhibition at the National Gallery in London?” 

It took Connie a while to convince me it was actually a list. I’m sure everyone will forgive me for being a bit slow on the uptake. When I make lists, they look kind of... list-like and, well, a bit dull really. It takes some time for me to adjust to the idea of working with someone like Connie, who makes lists that look like works of art.

If you follow Connie on Viddy, you can expect to see some of the ideas on that list turned into viddys very soon. Click here to go to Viddy.com and watch some viddys from Connie!

Anyway, what I’m trying to say is, that the LA Times article tells us that Justin Bieber has a keen interest in Viddy, and that he is giving it his full support. So, Justin, if you happen to be reading this, just to let you know that Connie Talbot is also now on Viddy, and that she supports it too!
