Connie Talbot & Koleen Aragon (6-yearOld Singers)
Please read the updated memo until 12 July 2008
========================= ==============
Original Description (August 2007):
I chanced upon a 6-yr old girl, Koleen Aragon, in a local singing contest, and Connie Talbot sprang to my mind. Connie has amazed the world, that's including us, on how she can put that feelings in her song despite her tender age.
But here, Connie Talbot may be considered lame (sorry!) in compared with this 6yr-old girl.
Watch how she belted-out the high notes with her powerful voice.
I remembered Cowell asked Connie "Was that you singing?" When I heard this Koleen Aragon's voice, I can't help myself but to ask "Was that her voice?"
Show judge Piers Morgan called her: "pound for pound, inch for inch, the best 6-year-old singer in the world"
I thought so as well then.
Until I watched & heard this little girl sing on stage. Judge Piers Morgan was wrong, after all!
You may find the Songs' Original Artist renditions, search youtube:
-first song: Lani Misalucha "Tunay na Mahal"
-second song: Regine Velasquez "Isang Lahi"
Location: Town 50kms outside of City of Manila, Philippines
================== =========================
(September 2007)
I was aware that the Koleen's songs can not be understood by the international community, but it was not what I intend to feature. I am emphasizing the talent, singing ability, interpretation, stage presence, vocal quality and control, that are independent of the language of the song. Same thing that English-speaking people appreciated Potts "Nessun Dorma" whatever it meant.
======================= ===================
(October 2007)
On Koleen's attire and appearance: It is customary for young contestant's parents and teachers to make-up their child, as well as to direct them to sing the most difficult piece they can manage IN ORDER to impress the judges.

(05 December 2007)
So many things has happened since BGT days, Connie now has release an album and has improved dramatically. So far, I haven't have success in locating the girl Koleen, perhaps, like so many talented young girls here, may have opted to prioritize their study.
======================= ===================
(20 December 2007)
Koleen Aragon was 6 during this contest (25 August 2007). This was an InterSchool contest, she was in First Grade and her age was provided for qualification requirement. I overhear her birthday was 19 September." Connie Talbot turn 7 last 19 November. Both Koleen & Connie are both 7 now.
Koleen is 7 now.

[29 December 2007]
Charice Pempengco has invaded Korean & US TV. I'm proud to tell you that Koleen Aragon & Charice Pempengco came from the same town. Pempenco sang in this same singing contest when she was younger.
===================== =====================
[20 April 2008]
Connie Talbot has release the 2nd version of her "Over The Rainbow" album with 3 new songs replacing the Christmas tracks. Her first version album was a Platinum. My channel's "Connie Talbot "I Will Always Love You" (Full Version)" has reach a million viewers mark and her album , and I'm happy for for Connie. I was hoping I could see how Koleen talent has been since this local contest. This summer, I may find time to locate her.
For the new viewers, I will emphasize that this posting is my personal appreciation of the local girl Koleen's talent. This isn't mean to degrade Connie, who has already a successful album, also this channel officially supported Connie's albums.
You are all welcome to comment on your personal preference, but NOT rude remarks attacking the girls characters. But even negative comment for channel owner is fine, provided you have read the whole of this description so you will understand the context of this posting. Thanks!
By the way, the previous description was not altered, nor corrected.

I have never realized that the simple appreciation I felt when I first heard this girl Koleen that made me post her video for the world to see HAS now gathered half-million viewers. For that I thanks you.
Connie Talbot has toured and made different appearances successfully in Southeast Asia, and we all are very happy for her.
Most new viewers always make the impression that this video is posted to bank on Connie's popularity in order for this Koleen girl to be known. But it is not the case, for the girl is elusive even from me.....

They're both good singers in different ways. Connie performs on Britain's Got Talent Grand Final. Koleen one of the tough five performer on that nite. Good luck to both of them.

You can't seriously say one is better than the other! One of their big differences is that Connie makes people listen like a sweet childs melody and looks like a cute 6-year-old. Koleen had all that make-up painted on her face so she looked more mature but her wonderful voice gets the crowd excited and can't really make the calm silence Connie does. They are both great but almost complete opposites! Why drag 6-year-olds into a who's better argument!?!?!

you know that seeing: kids artists sing heavy songs for grown-ups and some adults artists play song with easy word like 2 words that are repeated over and over..how ironic
anyway they are very talentated |
