    Faryl Smith CD Review & Giveaway (Ends 5/22)

    By 60 Comments

    On May 31, 2008, a 13 year old girl sang her way into people’s hearts and minds throughout Britain during the final round of “Britian’s Got Talent.” And one of her judges was none other than our favorite American Idol judge, Simon Cowell, who praised her by saying she was “literally one in a million” and “the most talented youngster I’ve ever heard.” Faryl Smith went from an ordinary schoolgirl from Narthamptonshire to signing the largest record deal ever awarded to a young classical artist.

    Faryl’s voice is emotional, powerful, mature, and amazing. She has such a nice voice that I am sure she will do well. Luckily Faryl has a supporting family and still can be a regular girl. She is treated the same amongst her friends, sings in her local choir, plays in an all-girls football team, and loves shopping. Her choir singing is actually what shaped her voice and solo career. Starting out with show songs and ballads, Faryl’s teacher moved her on to classical songs.

    Faryl Smith’s album, entitled Faryl, has become “The Fastest-Selling Solo Classical Debut Release Ever,” surpassing records set by Charlotte Church, U2, Taylor Swift and Kelly Clarkson on UK Charts. On April 29th, Faryl traveled to the US to celebrate her CD release here and performed on “The Ellen Degeneres Show,” performing her first single, “The River of Light.” Other songs on the album include Ave Maria, Amazing Grace, Shenandoah, and Annie’s Song.
    Now even though I am not an opera or classical music lover, it is still amazing to listen to her and realize that she is only 13 years old! I can only imagine how much her voice will grow as she gets older.

    Check out the official video for “River of Light” taken from the debut album, “Faryl”

      The CD would be for my daughter, unless I heard it and loved it 🙂 I’m horrible with names and who sings what, so I’m really not sure if I have a favorite song. Do I qualify? I tried not to just say “pick me” 🙂

      This cd would be for my niece. 🙂 She wants to be a singer and is turning 9 in a couple of months. This would be a great present for her. Show her that it is possible. 🙂

      My favorite song on the CD is Annie’s Song. Annie is a nickname that my husband calls me. I would love to have a copy of this CD for myself. This singer has a beautiful voice!
      Thanks for the giveaway!

      I like the way she sings Annie’s Song. I would like to win this for my sister. I know she would love it (and I already have the cd!).

      I saw Faryl Smith on television earlier this week singing Ave Maria. She did it it beautifully and is also a very impressive young lady, very level-headed and mature for her tender years. Of the other songs on her CD, I absolutely love Annie’s Song by John Denver and would love to hear Faryl’s rendition.
