Florida, America. Data Design Interactive - a successful video games publisher and games developer, are pleased to announce that Connie Talbot the singing sensation who came to fame from the massively popular UK based talent show ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ will be attending the 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles on Tuesday, 2nd June at 3pm, booth 441 to promote her highly anticipated Nintendo Wii video game “Connie Talbot Over The Rainbow Sing-a-Long” which is scheduled for summer 2009. Its 12 tracks include songs from her debut album, 'Over The Rainbow', but with specially designed videos and backscene footage. Players can sing solo in karaoke mode or with friends and family members for some multiplayer fun.

Since her unforgettable appearance in 2007 on ‘Britain's Got Talent’, Connie Talbot is undoubtedly the original breakout ‘superstar find’ from the show. Now a ‘whole’ 8-years-old, Connie continues to build on her global success, with the most recent achievement being state side, as music from her debut album, ‘Over the Rainbow’ (AAO Music/Reality) delivers hit after hit.

The album’s second single in the US—a gorgeous rendition of the classic ‘I Will Always Love You,’ is currently at the 6 position on the Billboard Hot Singles charts. It follows the success of her first single, a cover of Bob Marley’s popular ‘Three Little Birds’ which previously reached #1 on the Billboard Chart.

‘I Will Always Love You,’ most often associated with Whitney Houston, has a deep personal meaning to the young singer, as her grandmother, "Nan," sang it to Connie when she was a baby. The single also features the newly re-vocaled "You Raise Me Up,’ the track that closes ‘Over the Rainbow’. Sales of the album are stronger than ever as music fans continue to discover the young singer who has already charmed not only Mr. Cowell and his fellow judges, but the likes of US chat show Queens, Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres.

Connie’s album ‘Over the Rainbow’ will be available in the UK as a re release on 8th June nationwide in store.
