One of the most exciting aspects of talent shows is witnessing participants exceed expectations.

But she didn’t choose just any Whitney Houston song to perform.
She selected the iconic ballad “I Will Always Love You,” originally by Dolly Parton but forever associated with Whitney and her extraordinary vocal abilities following its feature in the 1992 movie “The Bodyguard.”
Attempting to fill the shoes of such a renowned singer at only 18 years old is no small feat. This fact was not lost on experienced judge Simon Cowell, who skeptically questioned, “Are you absolutely sure you want to sing that song?”
Despite feeling nervous and slightly intimidated by Simon’s skepticism, Lucie remained determined and ready to face the challenge head-on.
Impressing Everyone
Lucie Jones not only flawlessly delivered the song but did so with such clarity and emotion that the audience rose to their feet to give her a standing ovation.
The judges were left in awe of Lucie’s interpretation of Whitney’s classic.
Simon Cowell praised her, saying, “One of the most challenging songs to sing in the world. You didn’t try to mimic Whitney; you made it your own. You are very likable and incredibly talented.”
This heartwarming moment serves as a reminder that belief in oneself can lead to extraordinary achievements. Take a moment to listen and appreciate below.
