Former barmaid Sophie Habibis performed a stripped back version of ‘Teenage Dream’ by Katy Perry on The X Factor tonight and left the judges suitably impressed.
The 19-year-old put her own stamp on the track and made it her own draped across a white piano.
This was a good song choice for Sophie as it showed off her voice beautifully. She also showed a great deal of controlled and professionalism that seemed much more mature for one so young.
