I spent the last couple of hours this evening checking out Britain’s Got Talent on Youtube. After having watched Paul Potts a hundred or so times I decided to check out some of the other talent that Britain had.

They had singers, dancers, dance troupes, baton twirlers, cheerleaders, stand up comedians and even Jack, a 79 year old tap dancer. Great stuff, that country has no dearth of entertainers.

Then came the kids. Paul Potts was amazing yes, he was also my age and hence no spring chicken. Performances by Dominic, George, Jake and Connie not only made me feel very very old, they also made me wonder what the heck their parents fed them! I cannot imagine what any of these kids will be like when they’re 25. Dominic sings with a maturity and a talent way beyond his years, George is a thirteen year old street-dancer,Jake is a ten year old stand up comic and Connie is all of six. Yes, that is not a typo. 6 is what I said.

Have a look.

Dominic

George

Jake Pratt - (of whom said one presenter - ‘when I was told I was going to be sharing the stage with a little prat, I thought they were talking about someone else’….

and lastly - this one completely bowls me over…. little Connie who is so talented that everyone else fades in comparison.

Whew. I feel ancient. Could you sing at age six? Or tell jokes at age ten? Or dance like a champion at age thirteen? I couldn’t!
