Tamera Foster was only 16 when she walked into The X Factor arena. Before that day, the only performances she had ever given were in school assemblies, and now she was about to sing on her own in front of thousands of people.
Most of her family had come to support her, and her grandma, her number one fan, was right there with them. Tamera admitted she was really, really nervous and scared about being judged on her own.
She chose one of the hardest songs there is, I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston. Just as she started, her mind went blank and the words disappeared. The crowd cheered her on, she took a breath, and she began again 🎤.
The second time, her voice filled the whole arena. It was powerful, warm and full of feeling, and the audience rose to its feet.
One judge said it was not perfect, but her potential was beyond belief. Louis said that in all his years on the show he had never seen anyone with her potential. Sharon joked that if she forgot her words at bootcamp she would be in big trouble, and Tamera went through with four yeses ⭐.
