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. :)

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 :)

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.
