Connie Talbot, the British six-year-old with the big voice, blew away the judges on the television amateur talent series "Britain's Got Talent".
Her debut rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" brought actress and talent judge Amanda Holden to tears, got a big "yes" from reporter and judge Piers Morgan, and even impressed the notoriously prickly judge Simon Cowell.
This little girl has got an amazing talent, and at six she's got a long career ahead of her.
Melting the hearts of the BGT judges--and viewers across Britain--she went on to be a finalist on the show.
In November 2007 Connie released her first album, "Over the Rainbow", which she markets on her website, connietalbot.

The album features Connie singing well-known songs in her big sweet voice, and should be a hit with kids who have similar dreams.
She's still a little too young to move beyond the sweet and inspirational song lyrics and develop her own creative sound, but she's getting a lot of experience marketing herself as a singer and learning what is it to be a professional recording artist.
Connie Talbot's experience on "Britain's Got Talent" is an example for other young aspiring musicians.
If you can get in front of an audience and charm them, keep your composure and show off the talent you possess, big things can happen.
Connie Talbot has already amassed a wide audience of dedicated fans, and if she plays it smart, she'll never worry about taking another job to support her singing career.
If she can impress Simon Cowell, Connie Talbot is a force to be reckoned with.
Right now she's just a kid singing inspirational tunes, but when she comes into her own as a recording artist, she might just be a sensation all over again.
