Three Little Birds-connie talbot

Eight-year old "talent show star" Connie Talbot, who placed second in the UK singing competition television show "Britain's Got Talent" is now topping the U.S. Billboard charts with her single "Three Little Birds".

And, it just so happens, that "her" hit song (watch the video) is not her song at all, but a cover of this classic reggae tune.

Bob Marley must be rolling in his grave.

America, what have you done to popular culture?

Connie Talbot, an eight year old girl from Walsall, has gone to number one in the US Billboard Hot singles sales chart.

The continuing success of her single Three Little Birds has made her the top-selling artist across the US this week.

This IS popular culture?  And what is so wrong with an innocent song sung sweetly by a charming little girl?  I think we need that kind of thing right now.
