A New International Star - At 12 yrs old ....

June 1, 2008 7:29:36 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Way Off-Topic for sure this one ....  however the subject is a most amazing 12 yr old girl by the name of Faryl Smith, with a singing voice that is pure gold, utterly incredible.  She didnt win the Final of the Talent Show (the vagaries of popularist voting never cease to amaze me), however she has made her name without a doubt, and she will be an International Star very quickly. 

Most in UK will have heard of her, however many of those those outside UK probably havent.  The Show Judges and studio audiences were totally floored by her, a stunning talent. Click the YouTube link below and delight in what has been described as the perfect singing voice, and she is only 12 yrs old - amazing....

There are three clips in there, the Audition, the Semi Final and the Final.

Bloody awesome singer and that's an understatement.
You don't have to be a fan of the Opera to appreciate this.

Totally agree - and she's not stereotyped into Opera alone - albeit the latter is her mainstream forte. The semi final song wings of an angel was just as mind blowing as her masterpiece in the Final Ava Maria.

Simon Cowe summed it right on the button at the Final :

"you are one of the best finds for a very very very long time .... that performance was not just good enough for this Country ...... that was World Class"

And I loved the look on Simon Cowe's face at the Audition when he whipped round to look at her, having heard the first few Bars. There is absolutely no doubt we will hear much of this girl in a very short space of time at International level. Utterly Stunning voice and incredible talent.

And only 12years old ....

Faryl Smith didnt win in the end. I think she must have come atleast 4th or 5th which isnt too bad considering she had tough competition.

Unfortunately she didnt really have a sob story. I think a dying parent , or bullying at school could have won it for her.

ps - BGT is a pile of shambles. I hate it because they fix everything ,over-egg sob stories and force contestants to change their acts/songs to suit their TV ratings.


Bianca ryan is a freak of nature in a good way. Saying that , there was this other girl (12 years old) who was a very talented singer , entered in the second series , the producers forced her to sing the same song that Bianca sang. The judges burnt this poor girl alive for being a Bianca wannabe. Made for good tv ratings but poor her!.
