But she was beaten in the final by opera singer Paul Potts, who will sing for the Queen next month and already has an album out. Connie was signed up by Simon Cowell but was later dropped by the music mogul after a record company decided she was too young to be a recording artist, but last month Connie was signed up by a rival company.
