I know you are biased in your way of thinking but take a look at this link I can't speak Korean but it looks as if the album has been number one in several charts over there . What do you make of it ? http://connietalbot.proboards102.com/index...&thread=241

At last,finally, there is someone on this forum that likes her music.I think Bob Marley would have been quite chuffed about her version of Three Little Birds.

She is not a minor artist globally.Look at the messages on the forums on her website or comments on the 100s of You Tube videos.She is loved by millions of people out there , including my family. Out of curiosity we look at what she is up to . PS I am not a publicist . My daughter knows her , she lives local to us. I did not intend this to be a slanging match .

If she wasnt popular in Korea then why are there 100s of flashes going off as soon as she arrived at the airport ? Have a look on You Tube & watch the videos and read the comments. So big oops to you.

Another fact on Connie Talbot ...According to Vidmeter she has 27th most watched online video in the world with nearly 42 million hits.Ironically the video has been removed but still gains thousands more hits every day.

I have a correction to make , Connie is in Poland & not Japan at the moment . What a life she's having !!! I would imagine that it was more likely that it was Connie who pressured her parents to let her do the things she is enjoying than the other way round.

Yes,it has all gone a bit out of hand . I was only asking a simple question . My family love her to bits , especially my daughter who recently met her .

It was around Christmas time when sales are high.Initially, 50,000 copies of the album were pressed, but an additional 120,000 had to be made after the album sold out in days.

That's sick

No

The album was certified gold in early December .She was presented a gold disc by Phillip Schofield on daytime television programme This Morning.

That's your opinion and obviously not most of the FarEast's opinion at the moment. Do you feel good now that you have typed a swear word on your PC & made yourself look silly ?

Personally , I don't think it will be a hit over here .Apart from GMTV last Friday there doesn't seem to be any other promotion in the UK.

They are not pushing her , she loves singing & making people happy. Good luck to them if a lot of money is made from her talent.

She's loving every minute of it .Her parents would stop it all if it became too much for her. The re-released version of "Over the Rainbow" went GOLD in Hong Kong and Taiwan. It was just released a short few days ago. All this after the original release went GOLD in the UK a few months ago. We are witnessing the early days of what will surely be a megastar. Connie Talbot is in a class all her own

No need to swear , matey !!! It might be a hit , she performed it on GMTV on Friday which has loads of viewers. I wouldnt call 9th June too far in advance , its only a week away.

Have a look on You Tube. She has been to Singapore,Taiwan,Korea & Hong Kong during April following a massive demand.She has appeared on loads of TV shows over there. She knocked Madonna & Mariah Carey off number 1 in their charts & is currently in Japan on another series of promotions. Her video was filmed in Jamaica in February.

On 9th June 7 year old Britains Got Talent 2007 runner up Connie Talbot releases Bob Marley's Three Little Birds . She is going down a storm in the Far East at the moment thanks to You Tube & has already received 4 gold discs for the first album. Will the single do well over here ?

If George Sampson appears on GMTV this week (bound to) & they mention that Singing in the rain is back in the charts then sales will pick up momentum.

Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison should hgave been a massive hit but I dont think it made the charts. Same as Needle In A Haystack by The Velvelettes

Hocus Pocus by Focus is weird but I love it

Dont forget The Wombles ...They had loads of hits during this period.

2 weeks ago I saw Kelly Groucutt jamming with a band called Vivo at Old Sills Rugby Club near Solihull. He sung Stand By Me & was absolutely brilliant. He said he would be back next month .

The shots in the lift were taken from ABBA the Movie & actors were used as they came out of it. Agnetha & Frida were filmed seperately at the window & superimposed to look as if they were together.

There are bits of "Elvis Aint Dead" that sound like "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys , in fact quite a lot of it.
