MUMBAI: The X Factor USA judges get emotional as 20 year old Jillian Jensen pours her soul out during her performance
Singing is a talent that takes over the mind and wins over the heart. And 20-year-old Jillian Jensen’s performance did just that when she moved The X Factor judges, especially Simon Cowell to tears with her rendition of ‘Who You Are’. When young Jillian stepped onto stage, the emotions on the set were thick with anticipation on what a girl so young could possibly present to the judges. However, Jillian moved the crowds to a frenzy as she brought out buried emotions with her performance that will be seen on tonight’s episode of The X Factor which airs in India, concurrent to the US, every Friday and Saturday at 10 PM on Big CBS Prime, Love and Spark.
The petite singer who hails from Massachusetts struck a special chord with Demi Lovato, who stepped on-stage and embraced Jillian after her heartwarming rendition as she shared the tragic story of her bullied past with the judges. Her singing was so touching that it made the usually grim L. A. Reid exclaim, “I have never ever heard anybody take their insecurities and take their pain and put it into a song the way you have!” The other two judges were equally impressed by Jillian’s singing with Simon calling it ‘incredible’ as he wiped off his tears, and Britney telling Jillian that she has no reason to cry because she is an amazing singer. Jillian Jensen’s performance surely touched the judges’ hearts.
