Overview

Talbot has since pursued a recording and online career, sharing covers and original material with international listeners.
Early career and Britain's Got Talent

Her early prominence is often associated with that memorable audition and the emotional reaction it prompted from viewers and judges.
Recordings and online presence
After her television appearance, Talbot recorded music and began posting performance videos online. She launched a YouTube channel in which she uploaded covers of popular songs; several of these videos have garnered millions of views. In addition to uploaded covers, she has released studio recordings, worked with producers, and performed live on occasion. Her online activity helped sustain and broaden her audience beyond the television exposure.
