The Surprising Power of a 12-Year-Old’s Song Choice: Simon is Speechless

It’s not easy to impress popular judge Simon Cowell. So it’s particularly satisfying to see him being blown away by an artist.

That’s exactly what happens here, when a young and rather sweet 12-year-old Maia Gough takes the stage. Within seconds, the young singer proves she’s a talent to be reckoned with – and the look on Simon’s face proves it!

When 12-year-old Maia Gough took the stage on the popular TV talent show Britain’s Got Talent, she announced she would be singing a Whitney Houston song. Simon Cowell seems skeptical: everyone knows nobody can sing like Whitney.

But when young Maia really kicks off, it’s amazing how well her performance goes and the audience can’t stop cheering. Watch her incredible performance below.

Wow! I was really pleasantly surprised by the performance of this 12-year-old, especially when the song really kicked off and she gave it her all. Share the video if you were also impressed!
