Even Connie failed to bag the title, shortly after the talent search, she had signed with Rainbow Recording Company, as she had released her debut album, "Over the Rainbow" on November 26, 2007.

She will be releasing a new version of her previous album in June that will feature 12 all time favorite songs such as "Over The Rainbow," "I believe," "Smile," "Three Little Birds," "My Favourite Things," "What A Wonderful World," "Ben," "I Will Always Love You," and "You Raise Me Up".

On her most viewed video at YouTube, which reached 14,900,985 viewers, the little girl escalates the emotions of the audience as they listened to her sweet, pure voice.

Amanda Louise Holden (one of the judges of the show) can't keep tears falling, when the toddler sings.

"Connie you are absolutely brilliant. I thought you sang beautifully," Holden said during the first time she heard the voice of the girl.

"You've got the sweetest voice and I listen to every single word you said you're so mature I conquer over it you're super talented," she added.

In one of the videos of Connie, she even teased Holden that she will make her cry on her performance. The judge challenged the kid as she said she would not cry as she again sings "Over the Rainbow" which is her favorite song as her grandmother used to sing it for her.

However, Connie still touched the vulnerable side of the judge as she declared: "She said to me in the corner I'm gonna make you cry lady and then I said you're wrong I'm gonna be strong tonight. No I was wrong I was rubbish and I cried again."

Piers Morgan, when he saw Connie on stage, thought if the girl could sing in front of the Queen. The winner of the show will be performing at the Royal Variety Performance in front of Queen Elizabeth II of the UK and members of the Royal Family at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool.

Connie said: "I don't know," but the naïve eyes of the child likely to say that she only really wants to sing and she wants everybody to hear her voice.

But as the judges let her experience the limelight, no one in the arena got disappointed in her performance. All of the judges made a positive reaction giving her a chance to outshine and get into the finals.

Simon Cowell was also impressed with the performance of Connie as he stated that the voice of the kid was fantastic.

"You know Connie, the thing about you, people think that you are just a little six years old and you sings ok you don't sing ok you sing beautifully and everyone loves your voice," Cowell said during one of her performances last year. (JRDB/Sunnex)

Feeling:
The girl recently came to Taiwan, and leaved Taiwan yesterday. I have seen this video last year, but nowadays I was crazy about her. She is so cute that I keep seeing her video on youtube. She is such an angel that sings beautifully.
I also think that she is a poor girl, because she is famous in such young age. Maybe now she is too small to know . However, after she grow up, she may feel unfortunate about being famous.
I really like her!!! She is such a sweetheart, and I love her so much. I wish her future will be brighter and brighter.
Here are her Semi-final and final's video, hope you'll enjoy it.
