A 16-year-old contestant delivered a breathtaking performance of Believe by Cher on The X Factor UK, leaving the judges stunned and even moving one to tears.
Ella Henderson, known for impressing the judges with her talent, had already made an impact in her first audition by performing an original song. This time, she wanted to take on a new challenge.
“Today, I wanted to push myself further and choose a song completely different from what I usually do,” she shared before stepping on stage. “I’ve been working on making it my own, and I really hope they like it.”
When she began singing, the room fell silent. Her version of Believe was hauntingly beautiful, transforming the familiar song into something deeply emotional. As she sang, the depth of her voice and the emotion behind every note captivated the audience.
The judges were visibly moved, with one even wiping away tears. “How did that feel?” a judge asked.
“Incredible,” Ella responded.
One judge admitted that Believe had never been a favorite song but was completely won over by her rendition. “I’d normally put that song near the top of my most annoying list, but today, I’d pay a lot of money to hear that version again. That was amazing.”
Ella’s performance left a lasting impression, proving that she has a voice capable of moving people.
