Chloe Hickinbottom – The New Vera Lynn?

chloe-hickinbottom Chloe Hickinbottom is ten years old and has wowed the judges with her rendition of The White Cliffs of Dover. Due to be screened on Saturday night, it would appear that young Chloe has the voice to become a modern day version of forces sweetheart Dame Vera Lynn.

Chloe Hickinbottom, who is from Wolverhampton,  has a mature voice which stuns the judges and steals the show, and is an early favourite to win the £100,000 prize and the opportunity to appear at the Royal Variety Performance.

Asked what she would do with the money, Chloe told Ant and Dec: “I’d spend it on tights and leggings and jeggings [a cross between jeans and leggings].”

Amanda Holden said of Chloe’s performance: “I definitely wasn’t expecting that. I can’t believe that a little ten-year-old girl has such a beautiful voice.”

Piers Morgan adds: “I closed my eyes at one stage. You could have been 40 to 50 years old.”

Louis Walsh, who stood in for a Simon Cowell at the Birmingham auditions because Simon was ill, added “I don’t know where the big voice came from. You were perfectly in tune. I think you were fantastic. You could sell records.”

    I consider that Choloe has the same charismatic presence and talents of a young Judy Garland. Not winning BGT does not mean she is not a future success. She has to be.

    Chloe has good grace and a sweet smile. Not only does she have an angelic voice but her determined attitude to perform in front of an audience will see her rise to great heights! Good on you Chloe and thank you for singing one of my favourite Vera Lynn songs! Cheers, Kim

    Chloe, you’re one of the fewest singers who can make a person live his most beautiful dream while listening to you, you’re an angel, thank you.

    Dear Chloe,

    I am that 68 year old from another forum, long time married man from Colorado. I continue to replay your audition. It has never been easy for me. Our first child was named Jimmy. While he was still our only child he died of cancer at the age of 2 1/2. That was a long time ago. When you sing the name Jimmy, it brings heartache back to me. Even with that pain, I listen again and again. I love to see young people do well. I think that your audition was magical. It brought back alive, in the best of ways, the suffering of the English people during world war II. Thank you for participating in ‘England’s Got Talent’.

  • James Putnam says:

    I decided to add something to my previous message. When you sang the word ‘a-gain’ and gave that middle pause, I felt that you did understand the meaning of the song you were singing. I don’t know why you did that, but, for me it meant a hesitation that represented the pain of the English people during that horrible time.
