Shelter - Birdy (15 year old supertalent)
 
Sensational voice for a 15 year old. Won open mic UK at the age of 12yrs old. Definitely a name to look out for this year. Already had a no17 hit with Skinny love.

This cover of The XX's Shelter is so haunting and emotional. I normally hate child singers but her voice sounds so mature and soulful.

She's alright. I don't like her version of Skinny Love though. The original >>>

I wanna hear her sing something that isn't a cover.

so basically she's a glorified karaoke singer

She's not too bad, she can actually sing. She reminds me of a younger Ellie Goulding. Would be nice to hear some original material from her though. :)

Very good for her age

She actually does write her own music. She won the open mic with her own song. Just happens that its her covers(which are hardly karaoke) that have caught initial attention commercially.

And to expect one so young to be both a great singer and great songwriter is a bit much. Ill settle for just the voice alone.
