Lucie Jones Inspires Chills on X Factor

By , About.com GuideSeptember 5, 2009

Follow me on:

Lucie Jones introduced herself as an 18 year old from a tiny village outside of Cardiff, Wales. She said the place has a couple hundred people living there, a village hall, and a shop, and most were there to support her. Lucie and her parents agreed that perhaps X Factor could be her ticket out of the village. After hearing Lucie Jones tackle Whitney Houston's classic "I Will Always Love You," (a song Simon Cowell asked if she really wanted to sing) it seems amazing the village has kept her so long. This performance is likely to cause chills up your spine.

Elsewhere this week it seemed like teenagers week on X Factor. 17 year old Jade Fubara wowed the judges singing "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." 16 year old Lloyd Daniels first disturbed judges with a poor performance of Jason Mraz' "I'm Yours", but he then turned the judges' frowns to smiles with his second a capella song. Another round of auditions produced more solid contenders for the overall competition.

WE SUPPORT LUCIE

A singing competition like Xfactor usually suits solo singers rather than bands, so she could win.

Absolutely stunning performance. Someone needs to give her a recording contract no matter the what the outcome of X-Factor.

I HATE “I will always love you”…until I heard Lucie sing it!!! What a lovely voice. And I’ve never watched the X Factor before. Was recording it for a friend. I Lucie doesn’t win, I’ll be surprised.

That was by far her best performance yet. Probably the best performance on this years X Factor overall! She’s gotta win it. I think she also has the greatest star quality. Hot looks are a bonus ;)

And she even gets her own fanpage!
