Over the past couple of years that young lady has become an international phenomenon, with millions of YouTube views, glowing media coverage and a best-selling album—a feat made all the more remarkable by the fact that Connie Talbot was all of 7 years old.
Since then the Connie Talbot phenomenon has skyrocketed not only in the U.K., where Over the Rainbow went gold in three weeks, but in other European and Asian countries as well and also in the US. In America Connie’s album reached the #7 spot on the Heatseakers chart in Billboard Magazine and the single ‘Three Little Birds’ reached the #1 spot on the Hot 100 Singles Sales Chart. Recently the Guinness Book of World Records certified Talbot as the new reigning champion in the categories of youngest artist in the UK ever to reach the charts and the youngest to receive a gold record.
In the fall Connie released her new holiday themed album in the US. The CD is titled Connie Talbot's Holiday Magic and features Connie's interpretation on holiday classics and fan favorites. Connie has also recorded an hour long television special for PBS, making her (at 8 years old) the youngest artist to ever do so.
In early summer Connie announced she would be releasing a holiday themed album in America. The CD is titled Connie Talbot’s Holiday Magic and will feature Connie’s Along with the album Connie will be recording an hour long television special for PBS.
The holiday album and new television special will cap off an incredibly prolific and successful year for the rising star. Recently named child ambassador for the 2009 Marine Toys for Tots campaign, Connie plans to donate part of the proceeds from CD sales in support of the worthy charity.
Imagine
Connie Talbot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
The song Imagine by Connie Talbot is a cover of John Lennon's 1971 classic. The lyrics convey a strong message of peace, unity, and love. The first verse sets the tone of the song, where Lennon asks the listener to imagine a world without religion or heaven and hell. He imagines a world where people live for today, and there is no fear of eternal punishment or reward. The second verse imagines a world without borders or boundaries, where human beings coexist peacefully. He stresses that there is nothing worth killing or dying for in a world of peace. He invites others to become dreamers with him, and hope for a world where people live in harmony.
The final verse sets the goal of the song – a world without materialism or selfishness. Lennon imagines that if people share the world and their possessions, there would be no poverty and hunger. He reiterates that he is not the only one dreaming about this world and invites others to join him. The song emphasizes the power of imagination and how it can transform our lives and the world.

Sharing all the world
Dividing resources and wealth evenly
