Little girl voice- Britain’s Got Talent

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW  by Judy Garland (1939)

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high.
There’s a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I’ll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops, Away above the chimney tops.
That’s where you’ll find me.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then – oh, why can’t I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh, why can’t I?

Some information about this song

The song’s plaintive melody and simple lyrics depict a pre-adolescent girl’s desire to escape from the “hopeless jumble” of this world, from the sadness of raindrops to the bright new world “over the rainbow.” It expresses the childlike faith that a door will magically be opened to a place where “troubles melt like lemon-drops”.

 

The song is often referred to as “Somewhere Over The Rainbow,” but the actual title is simply “Over The Rainbow.” The introduction was not used in the movie, nor was there ever any intention of using it; but it is often used in theatrical productions of  The Wizard of Oz “Over the Rainbow” is one of many popular songs whose lyrics use a “Bluebird of Happiness” as a symbol of cheer. (“If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why can’t I?”)

 

The subsequent development of rainbow imagery linked to the gay community in the 1970s — the rainbow flag is often used as a symbol of gay pride – combined with the fact that the lyrics speak of a better life under changed circumstances and Garland’s role as a well known gay icon, have led to additional interpretations developed long after the song became famous.

 NOW, I KNOW WHY “RAINBOW” RELATED TO “GAY” LOL~~

Besides, I don’t think it’s good to let a little girl to sing in front of people, i mean to show her talent….though she can sing beautifully. It seems she lost her childhood, which made her different from other children to have a normal life. Now, a 6 year old girl becomes a super star, a singer, and to have her career…this little girl said she is happy of what she is doing now~Is it good to let her do what she wants……….???
