Faryl Smith (Britain’s Got Talent) versus Jessica Price (America’s Got Talent)
A very astute reader pointed out the fact that Faryl Smith from Britain’s Got Talent performed the same song as Jessica Price did on America’s Got Talent. They both performed Sarah McLachlan “Angel” .
Take a look at the following videos to compare the 2 performances.

Both beautiful girls with beautiful voices. I think that Jessica Price definitely had a much better presentation. The white and the almost floating like an angel was awesome. They have such different style of voices that I don’t think it’s worth comparing. They were both great and I’d love to see both perform. I will say that my personal preference is for Jessica Price’s style. I’d love to just spend an evening listening to Jessica Price sing. Hopefully one day I’ll get that opportunity. Anyone heard what’s happened with Faryl Smith since the show?
Britain’s Got Talent starts in early 2009. I’m planning on posting about the show. Only question is whether I should post it on this blog or on a separate one. I’m thinking I’ll post it on this one. Any thoughts?
I hope that you cover it on this blog – I don’t want to add yet another blog to my already crowded Google Reader! And please make sure to post as many videos as you can get your hands on since we don’t get Britain’s Got Talent on our TV.
long live King Eli!
Braden,
I think I’m leaning to just doing it on this blog. I don’t need one more blog to manage either;-). I just hope my british readers don’t get offended that’s it’s named America’s Got Talent.
You asked if anyone knew what became of Faryl Smith. Well she didn’t win the competition but she has signed a £2.3 million record contract, which I think would be about $3.4 million with Universal. Her debut album will be released on 9th March 2009. For those interested her website is at :

Michael,
Thanks for the update. I’ll write a post with the information you provided soon. The picture of Faryl on that website is quite stunning.
Hello John, I have just found some interesting news on Faryl. I am posting the link below. The photo is of her at the Royal Albert Hall signing her contract with Universal watched by Katherine Jenkins and the Universal representative. Apparently Placido Domingo has contacted her and has suggested that they sing a duet together. All this is happening to a girl who the British public voted out of the top three in BGT.
