Natalie Okri is an adorable 10 year old South East London girl and "Diva In Waiting". She sang beautifully the Alicia Keys song "No One" on Britain's Got Talent 2009 tonight (May 16th 2009).
Piers Morgan's comment - "You are a very very little girl with a very very big voice."
Simon Cowell's comment - "I think you are totally and utterly adorable."

Well done Natalie!

The Friendship of Janine Khalil & Sue Son - The Dark Side of Reality TV and Newspaper Publishing


Janine Khalil & Sue Son [click image for video]

The recent Britain's Got Talent screening showed the story of friends Janine Khalil (pianist) and Sue Son (violinist) auditioning their group Addicted for the program. The video above shows this performance and the unravelling of a friendship.

Simon Cowell says to the two young ladies after the shortened performance "I don't see where you are going to go with this". I suspect he was most likely thinking - I don't know where I am going to go with this group, but hey that cute Korean girl could be the next Vanessa Mae.


Vanessa Mae Publicity Shot:

The subsequent reporting in the newspapers has been unpleasant, but their job is making money not healing friendships. We don't know the full nature of the girls' friendship and professional collaboration, and it is unlikely that we ever will. Sue Son probably will have success as a new version of Vanessa Mae, and I will be pleased for her if she does. I also wish Janine Khalil gains due professional recognition and commercial success for her undoubted talent.

Unfortunately some bloggers have no understanding of the ways of news reporting and media manipulation and so have been unnecessarily harsh in their comments. When this is pointed out they use their own form of moderator censorship - shame on you Cosmetic Candy.

Sue Son is a 23 year old student who initially auditioned with her friend Janine Khalil as the group Addicted. Unfortunately the duo were not felt to be good enough to go through to the next round, but the judges asked that Sue Son have a second audition as a solo violinist. Sue Son gave a very good rendition of Storm [Vivaldi] which was well received by the judges and audience.
