* {{Bowdlerise}}: Connie covered Music/CeeLoGreen's "Fuck You", albeit singing the censored radio version titled "Forget You" instead of the more risqué original. Given that she was in her teens at the time and wanted to present a more wholesome image, this isn't surprising.

Connie Victoria Elizabeth Talbot (born 20 November 2000) is an English singer.
She first gained prominence as the runner-up of the first series of ''Series/BritainsGotTalent'', despite initial expectations of being a [[CuteButCacophonic "joke" act]] due to her not having formally taken any singing lessons. Initially rejected by Sony BMG who dismissed her for being "too young to be their sort of artist", Talbot was signed to "Rainbow Recording Company", an offshoot of Rhythm Riders made specifically for the then-six-year old singer. Her debut album, ''Over the Rainbow'', was released in 2007 to lacklustre reviews, with critics praising Talbot's vocal abilities but noted the lack of depth and questioned the appropriateness of thrusting a girl of her age into the limelight.
''Over the Rainbow'' was then followed by two Christmas albums--''Christmas Album'' and ''Holiday Magic'', and later by ''Beautiful World'' and ''Matters to Me''. She also collaborated with Music/BoyceAvenue covering the Jonas Brothers song "Sucker".

* ChristmasSongs: ''Christmas Album'' and ''Holiday Magic''.
* CoverVersion: Most of her initial output was this, if the [[Film/TheWizardOfOz title track]] of ''Over the Rainbow'' was any indication.
* CuteButCacophonic: Subverted in that while her singing voice as a child was more or less what you expect, critics did give her credit for her abilities as "most of the notes (if not all of them) are in the right order and sung to the right pitch; the timing is fine too" according to Sharon Mawer of Allmusic.
