One to watch and let’s hope X factor doesn’t ruin her…
Written by Jimmy
Five reasons to like this:
1. First, she was 12 when she performed this:
2. She has another live video, where she said her Dad introduced her to the classics and then played Let it Be. I think it is important that anyone referring to ‘classics’ sticks with the Beatles and Stones. I would be happy with that. And she likes the Andrew Sisters:
3. She’s also a singer song writer and coming out with an album. But, of course, she’s 13 now. Her name is Danielle Prou. Of coures that’s her stage name. After all, she’s 13 and should have a stage name!
4. We have our own little 13 year wonderkind, in Sammy. Remember him backing up Chris on a couple songs (see below)? He does a killer version of Fire to the Rain as well. Sammy’s his name. His stage name is ‘Wonderkind Sammy and his magic lips.’ No it isn’t. Chris’s stage name is really Charlie Fox. A lot of the band thought it was his real name for a very long time. Rob still does.
5. But the fifth and most important reason to support Danielle is because she did a cover of Operator. That puts her second best on the cool 13 year old list (just behind Sammy). Lovely voice, lovely talent. Let’s root for her to produce a great album.
