康妮甜美歌聲的背後,還有一段故事。康妮的祖母奧瓦萊特幾年前患上乳癌留院,康妮便經常唱《綠野仙蹤》的歌曲為祖母打氣。莎朗說﹕「是奧瓦萊特第一個告訴她﹕康妮唱得十分好。」後來奧瓦萊特去世,康妮就在葬禮上獻唱《綠野仙蹤》歌曲《Somewhere Over the Rainbow》致哀。想不到,這首歌就成為康妮極受700萬觀眾歡迎的成名作。
Conny semi final,6 year old girl sings,<Somewhere Over The Rainbow>and amazes the judges! :) Britain's Got Talent was watched by more than seven million viewers on Tuesday and the overall winner will perform before the Queen at the Royal Variety Show on Dec 3. And after wowing both the audience and the judges - in particular Simon Cowell - she is now tipped to earn more than £1million over the coming year. Indeed, so impressed was the 47-year-old pop mogul by Connie’s performance, that he has preliminarily agreed to sign her up to a seven-figure deal with his own record label, Sony BMG.
