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.

Connie Talbot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by
If you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by
If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Lächel
Lächel obwohl dein Herz schmerzt
Lächel selbst wenn es zerbricht
Solange dort Wolken am Himmel sind
Wirst du zurechtkommen
Wenn du lächelst
Über deine Angst und deinen Kummer hinweg
Lächel und vielleicht morgen schon
Wirst du die Sonne durch scheinen sehen für dich
Entfache dein Gesicht mit Freude
Verstecke jede Spur von Trauer
Auch wenn eine Träne vielleicht so nah sein wird
Das ist die Zeit
In der du es weiter versuchen musst
Lächel, was bringt es zu weinen
Du wirst herausfinden dass das Leben lebenswert ist
Wenn du einfach nur lächelst
위풍당당
너무너무 예쁘고 사랑스럽다~~~^^
코니 어릴적부터 타고난 가수구나 ~~~ ♡♡♡♡
