Reality show Britains Got Talents contestant Connie Talbot might be the next Charlotte Church, for she took the judges and audiences by surprise by her stunning performance.
London, June 14 : Reality show Britain's Got Talent's contestant Connie Talbot might be the 'next Charlotte Church', for she took the judges and audiences by surprise by her stunning performance.
The show's creator producer Simon Cowell insisted that the 6-year-old's vocal talent is so good that it is justified if she is compared to Church whose first album, 'Voice of an Angel' made her the youngest artist with a No. 1 selling album on the British classical charts to date.
"I think a comparison with Charlotte Church is interesting - she's certainly got a shot," Daily Mail quoted Cowell, as saying.
The music mogul was so impressed by Tablot's singing that he has agreed to sign her for a seven-figure deal with his own record label, Sony BMG.
"Of course a record deal with a Sony BMG is on the cards - but only if Connie wants it," Cowell said.
"We can't go rushing into anything. I will initially talk to her and then I'll have a word with her mum and see what she wants," he said.
Cowell insisted that the girl is 'special' and has become popular worldwide.
"This girl is just special. I have never felt such a powerful silence in my life as when Connie sang. It was pure magic," Cowell said.
"She's all over the world at the moment, this girl - she's the number one clip on YouTube, for instance - and that's a worldwide number one," he added.
The reality show judge predicted that Tablot might even beat records of singer Joss Stone this year.
"She's got a wonderful opportunity here and I'll make a prediction that Connie will sell more records than Joss Stone this year," he said.
However, Tablot's mum Sharon is a bit unsure about the offer, her daughter's 'hero' has offered.
"I'm a big worrier. I just want my Connie to stay the way she is. I never wanted all this for her - I never took her to dance lessons or singing lessons," Sharon said.
"But I wouldn't be able to turn down a record deal with Simon because Connie would just be like, 'Yes!, Yes!' She'd feel like Leona Lewis from the X Factor who, along with Joss Stone, is her absolute idol," she added.
