In 2022 and I'm still watching this audition. This girl should have gone much further and be more recognized worldwide. She is a diamond.

[@internationalmusicacademy2895]

!!!!

[@mavenoire3704]

​@alvaroq2024 she went to school and relatively lived a normal life after the x factor. She did put out some singles throughout the years but she's been pretty standard in what she's put out.

better than original

[@nish.r2275]

She sings so much better than most of the celebs I've heard and especially at 13. She was totally robbed and deserved so much more.

[@finni-h2x]

Do you think she became over confident? Maybe let this all go to her head and the Diva personality turned demonic...🤷‍♀️ Its not like her voice cracked like it would with a 13 year old boy as his voice would def change. I've read a little of the comments in here and a lot of ppl are saying she didn't sound as good anynore.. I have no idea just asking if you knew... This is the first time I have heard her..and while confidence is good, it can tip one over the edge into an entitled little brat..if not careful..I can't imagine anyone wanting to work with some one who thinks and believes they are all that and more and everyone else isn't...Hope that made sense lol.

[@resemblelife]

Her entire delivery is a masterpiece, but particularly the little chuckle between 'Sleep in Peace When Day is Done. . . THAT's what I mean.' Definitely an old soul. Every part of this was pure brilliance. I will be watching this treasure over and over.

[@TheRVisions]

The way she nervously shuffles onto stage at first and then as soon as she starts singing picks up this confident SWAGGER. Also love how Dad looks like he’s hearing her sing for the first time. Best. audition. ever.

I feel like she was the most solid contestant over the season when it comes to performances as a whole, but if I remember correctly, her finale wasn’t as great.. plus there’re a million country lovers out there lol so that may have been why she lost, but if we’re speaking overall, I think she def deserved to win that season 😩

What happened to her??? She should have got signed

[@JackKuirser]

@@teresahickey3021 She was signed with Syco Music but dunno the details, she still posts covers on yt, and she had some music video, I haven’t been following her much after X Factor(or anybody else for that matter), but she seems to be doing alright.

[@nicoleann1519]

She was already singing in Broadway musicals before she came on The X Factor. Alot of these acts are already "seasoned" singers before they get on the show. It's never just a random person who sang all the time in their bedroom and just decided to try out. Plus after this, she was on an episode of Law & Order SVU.

[@iluvnickjonas0502]

One of the most memorable and most incredible auditions in the history of X Factor auditions. I will forever go back to this. She is probably one of the best vocalists i have ever heard.

[@mikaylacruz5549]

OysterHunter she got signed to sony but she chose to finish public school and putting off her career which was a really bad move on her part but

[@Seaaaanie]

finishing school is never a bad choice. she wanted an as normal as possible school experience. what would have happened if she chose career over education and never got famous or her diploma???

[@Seaaaanie]

or experience being a teenager and have regrets when she is older.

[@mikaylacruz5549]

Seanie you still get a diploma if you don't physically go to school... she could've done school online. and by bad choice, i mean she lost her following and the buzz from the show is long gone, so when she does start her career, she's starting from scratch as if she wasn't even on the show.

[@crazytrain111]

It's not surprise.. I mean it is, but not the way it is for everyone else. That's his little girl tho, can't even imagine the range of emtions and the amount of joy he was probably feeling here. Simon Cowell called her a star, the most difficult judge to get in your side.. he was just amazed by it all

[@stussyyy]

Denny Kaleal well yah but notice while shes singing he looks so surprised about how she's singing or idk

[@crazytrain111]

I wouldn't call it surprised. I would say he was amazed and blown away. A huge crowd of people screaming their heads off for your little daughter? Some of the most successful singers ever loving what she's doing, Simon cowell loving it.. even if he knew she was amazing, it was still incredible to watch.

[@rmoim99]

My guess: Their last name is Jewish as fuck, and they’re probably rich as fuck. Her dad probably works a lot and knew she could sing but never really understood just how good she was she was on a stage in front of 100s of people who were cheering for her :p just my guess.

I think her rendition here is more enjoyable to listen to than the Michael Buble's version I heard (and I love Michael's music) and she's up there under Nina Simone's somewhere - not on Nina's top rung of course - but Carly was only 13 when she belted this out. Wow!

[@platrix5583]

Guys, she finally released her debut single "birds & bees". She has so much talent, make her famous again!

[@Hanapetals]

Platrix it sounds nothing like her voice here though, she has that weird indie mumble whiny sound now 😶 nothing wrong with it but it’s not my thing

[@ksksdjjd2254]

@Alex F voive is extremely adaptable moldable

[@Yesimlexx]

Hanapetals they most likely made her sing with the whiny voice like how they did with Brittney spears .

[@Brobiks]

what gets me every time is how surprised the father is... has he like never seen her sing before or something...

[@ddeoddeonu1771]

She was proud of her daughter of course and her father was shocked because he didn't expect that rose comments of the judges were unbelivable and it shocked me too I'm not hating but you should think about what you're thinking her father was only proud

[@Begzoh]

maybe he was surprised at how quick she got the audience's and started cheering for her. Instead of implying he's a bad father

[@shaung949]

That was the x-factor editing, check 4:34 when LA gives his yes it is the same clip

[@Leirix61]

She has been a local celebrity before - just Google :)

[@Brobiks]

yeah that's my point, it seems like maybe ehe would be accustomed to it by this point? idk

[@XboxWithAhmed]

Its been almost 10 years and I react the same way every single time. This was insane. What a performance

[@rainkahve]

11yrs later and I'm still feeling good watching this

[@someonewhocares5317]

She has the charisma, the beauty, the confidence, the voice, the gestures. SHE'S PERFECT SO WHY TF DID SHE LOSE

[@imnottrillest210]

Someone Who Cares broadway auditions

[@zaqueenzhane7744]

Cause she has talent

[@NeziriO1]

It was fixed because of some inside problem with Simon. I think it was a dispute between Simon and her parents can’t really remember. She actually had 50% of the votes between the three contestants apparently. This may be false information but at the time this is what was said

[@keatonsilver2662]

I mean she got runner up. But the guy who won was awful so...

[@ken12ken122]

I hate how she didn't get really famous

[@rasha8666]

shes on broadway m8, les miserables etc..

[@aaronh248]

she concentrated on school and not music. if you search her name you will find concerts and music videos and duets and all sorts of stuff

[@halfricanbarbie]

She announced after she finishes high school she's gonna release her album she's been working on... I think she wanted to do high school like a normal kid first

[@BellaRoseJLogan]

I watch pbs with my daughter and saw her in the show of Hey you guys!

[@erlindabernard9878]

Me too... I watch this almost every day...

[@aidasall4815]

She is seriously a rare diamond. Absolutely unforgettable performance 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤❤❤

[@laurenmichaels1728]

2023, this NEVRR gets old. Absolute CHILLS every single time I watch.

[@ant7882]

Period

[@D_SQ]

I stopped watching these shows but this audition still lingers I the mind because everything about it was perfect. It has to be one of the best ever.

[@mainuellevy7757]

calum scott’s auditions was good also

[@TalkingThrones]

She bodied that song

[@KILLERMAIN-hf2vn]

Dam straight

[@H20fanatic20]

Too bad she’s sings other stuff now..sounds..awful tbh

[@kathyleider8951]

7 years later and I still get goosebumps

[@BubbaYoga]

Some might say embodied.

[@LOST_HOMIE]

@@H20fanatic20 well unfortunately for her she was 13 when she made her mark in history, and now her voice has changed like every human

[@user-wg5pc4yb6c]

Her voice is unbelievable and magical, she literally like 23 years old now and I bet she is a great singer

[@donaldbaird8592]

I have viewed this at least 5 times and I was just in Awe, Carly`s voice was perfect for this song, I want to check what has happened to her career with her talent. She was only 13 when she sang this, Wowww

[@ONI1013.]

I’m still in disbelief why she didn’t win this entire competition.

[@pillarzskill7811]

the competition was over the second she opened her mouth💀

[@LHAC707]

Seriously

[@RyanDaz1981]

Because she sang a Christian song amongst the demons in Hollywood..

[@user-dv8sf7gt6z]

Just like everything else everything rigged

[@tileartist59]

I still get goose bumps every time I watch her start to sing and LA Reid goes "WHAT!!!!!".. Classic!!!!! this never gets old....

[@jameshunt2905]

When an indigo child exemplifies how emotion is expressed and not weaponized........ Powerful, beautiful and goes farther than most would ever recognize......Gorgeous!

[@Elekktra7]

Everytime I go back to this I cry. So talented!!

[@Ashleydawnsbeautyxx]

She walked on that stage like " move over bitches I got this. I'm about to kill it "

[@backload123]

Just liken the capital

[@isabelcastilla8220]

3 years later im still obsessed with her voice and so sad that she isnt as popular as all the judges said she was gonna be

[@Barracuda8788]

After 10 years watching BGT AGT - poll potts and you are still my faworit singers on the stage..briliants..hello from Tbilisi Georgia...love you..your voice..

[@ltdricks]

Man crazy how the world doesn't recognize how talented this girl is.

[@dejanae7336]

I stopped watching XFACTOR when she lost. I just couldn't believe it. 😭

[@Sannoz]

The thing is, she didnt really lose. That is what the public was told after the voting, but she won with over 50%+ votes of the 3 acts. But there was a internial conflict betwhen Simon and Carly and her family wich you can see in his face at her 5 mil song hallelujah! Something had happend after Carly´s duet with Leann rimes….The 50%+votes was undiscovered/leeched later

[@olegtkachenko3260]

she got some hefty contracts, she is in a warm place, losing us not necessarily bad dear :-)

[@Dash120z]

@@Sannoz Leann Rimes ruined Carly's performance

[@paullowrey635]

[@raulnunez3348]

Effortlessly when she picks that mic up 💯

[@Hersheychocolate12]

"Did you rehearse? Did you pick that song yourself?" Nah bitch I decided to get on stage in front of millions, choose a high level song without rehearsing. The question just bothers me but he probably thought her parents picked that out for her but really dude?

[@WatchQueen49]

Well, he may have thought that she was a little over- confident and didn't know on what a level this song is. Since she is only thirteen, I understand that question quite well

[@denim2252]

Havent u seen the past episodes of x factor. Havent u seen a woman coming on stage with a pig?

[@SardaukarNo1]

Lisa S because simone sung effortlessly, with a blues voice and not mere ballad or series of notes.

[@Skydancer263]

awkwardnchey Not taking away from your opinion, but with someone so young, he probably wanted to see if she knew what she was going up against. Nina Simone is no joke and for such a young performer to attempt that most judges would be a tad worried.

[@revfred2620]

Skydancer263 Well the fact remains that even if she did intensely rehearse and had not the pipes and soul she is blessed with, she would have failed miserably.

[@TheSoulwriter88]

2021 and I’m still coming back to enjoy this amazing performance. 🥰

[@willcookmakeup]

To this day, this still is singlehandedly one of the best auditions in the history of this show. Carly's runs and vibrato are in a class of their own. True perfection. As a fellow signer, this is truly one of the hardest songs of all toke to song. She fuckin killed it. Also east coast reppin haha. Let's go Westchester

[@jennifergomez4973]

Well, least she didn't have some sob story for sympathy. She made it through because she had a voice to sing, not a story to tell.

[@sarahberkner]

Jennifer Gomez So are you saying people are less talented when they have had a death in the family or an illness or something like that?

[@jennifergomez4973]

Um is that what I wrote? Its a show about singing, not Dr Phil and singing together. We all go through our hardships in life, but do you really have to bring it to television when your auditioning to SING?

[@euanmackay4207]

You said this perfectly

[@zahidali-ex1ch]
