Streetly singing sensation Connie Talbot released her first single in February 2008. Her album Over The Rainbow has gone gold, and Connie is hoping to hit the top spot with a cover of the Abba classic I Have a Dream. Connie Talbot has gathered a worldwide fanbase on her Myspace site and through videos placed on Youtube.

Connie’s agent Ian Sparkes said the new single would be released on February 21 with more plans new material to be released in future.

It is the first single released from Over The Rainbow CD which was produced by The Rainbow Recording Company, who signed her up after Simon Cowell backed out of a deal. Connie, who attends Blackwood School in Streetly and found fame on the ITV 1 show Britain’s Got Talent, was presented with her gold disc by presenter Phillip Schofield on the This Morning show.

The CD contains the title track which is the song that moved judge Amanda Holden to tears on Britain’s Got Talent and earned her praise from notorious Mr Nasty Simon Cowell.

It was originally going to be released as the first single before record bosses decided to release the album first. Just 50,000 copies of Connie’s album were originally pressed, but another 120,000 had to be made after they sold out within days.

Connie caused a stir when she performed at the Great Bridge Christmas and Winter Festival, in the West Midlands where the crowds of people who were keen to see Connie prompted Police to rescue her “for her own protection”, which meant plans for Connie to sign autographs had to be abandoned when, immediately after her three-song set, she was escorted away by police officers as the 700-strong crowd surged forward towards the stage in a marquee.

Connie, making the appearance after a day at school, was one of around 40 acts including choirs and amateur singers – plus X Factor finalist Sarah McFarlane – to appear on the stage at the first ever festival.

Connie Talbot was awarded a prestigious gold disc after selling more than 105,000 copies of her debut Over The Rainbow CD which brought a tear to her mums eyes, Sharon Talbot said the family had been moved to tears when the gold disc was presented to Connie.

Connie Talbot Biography
Connie Talbot, was born on the 20th November 2000 and lives in Streetly, Walsall, West Midlands. She has been singing since she was 18 months old. The song she is most known for, “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”, was the song she performed at her grandmother’s funeral at three years old. She rose to fame in 2007 when she reached the final of the television show Britain’s Got Talent where she reached 2nd place. Connie signed with Simon Cowell and Sony BMG. Unfortunately, shortly after recording her first single, the label dropped her because they felt she was too young. However Simon Cowell said, “My views on Connie have NOT changed. I think she’s a wonderful talent, but I was persuaded by everyone at Sony BMG that she is just much too young to be embarking on a recording career. When the time is right I will be delighted to see if we can make it work. My views on Connie are still exactly the same. She’s an amazing little girl with a beautiful voice.”

she then signed with Rainbow Recording Company, and began production of her debut album, Over the Rainbow, which was released on 26 November 2007 in the UK. The first single from the album, “Over the Rainbow”/”White Christmas” was tipped as a potential Christmas number one. However, the single was not released by the record company.

Since then, the record label Rhythm Rainbow created a new offshoot company called Rainbow Recording Company, specifically to sign Connie. Her album with the new label features 12 all-time favorite songs, including “Somewhere over the rainbow”, “Imagine”, “I have a dream” and “White Christmas”, which has now been updated with new tracks which include 3 little birds, both versions of the Connie's album can be order online.....
