When competing in a show like The X Factor, the song you choose to sing is everything. Because of this, the judges seemed surprised by Chloe Paige’s choice.
In addition to being technically challenging, this song has been performed so many times that it is difficult to give it a new spin. Delivery requires special care, even for seasoned performers.
When Simon made the first observation, “You’re a brave girl,” the audience’s mood changed to one of apprehension. However, Chloe’s initial skepticism had subsided since the first few notes. Surprised, even the cynical Simon.
“How sweet the sound of Amazing Grace…” Chloe’s confident delivery and powerful voice won out. Simon acknowledged at the song’s conclusion that her performance was good enough to advance to the next round and the finals.
The crowd concurred with this appraisal, ascending to their feet and acclaiming her endeavors from the very outset of the tune. She demonstrated that judges can have completely inaccurate first impressions.
Chloe Paige sings alone because she wants to make her family proud. Do the judges think she was brave, but was it the right decision? I accept the response is self-evident.
