Watch this 16-year-old girl perform a unique version of ‘Believe’ by Cher on The X Factor UK and move one of the judges to tears.
Ella Henderson is a talented singer that keeps blowing the judges away with her performances on The X Factor UK. In her first audition, Ella wowed the judges by performing one of her own songs. During this round of the competition, she wanted to give something new a try.
“Today, I wanted to challenge myself a bit more and pick a song that was completely out of the box and out of my comfort zone,” Ella shares before heading out on stage. “I keep going through it in my head and trying to put my twist on it cause it’s so different than what I’d normally do. I really hope that they’ll like it.”
And when Ella starts to sing ‘Believe,’ it is hauntingly beautiful what she does to the song.
“No matter how hard I try, you keep pushing me aside
And I can’t break through, there’s no talking to you
It’s so sad that you’re leaving, it takes time to believe it, but after all is said and done
You’re gonna be the lonely one, oh, oh”
What an incredible performance! The judges are clearly so impressed with her, and one of them even gets emotional and has to wipe tears away from her eyes.
“How did that feel?” one of the judges asks. “Incredible,” Ella says.
“I’ve got to say, if I were to have a top 5 of the most annoying songs of all time, that would come fairly close to the top for me,” one of the judges confesses. “But today, I would pay lots of money to hear that version again. That was amazing.”
May Ella keep pursuing her music dreams, because this 16-year-old has got a voice that moves people!
