We’ve been totally blown away by her incredible talent ever since we first got a glimpse of 17-year-old Louisa Johnson when the X Factor first hit our screens earlier this year.
And, now she’s through to the final and is the bookies favourite to win, nothing could possibly get in the way of her winning the WHOLE competition… could it? Ooooh, it so could.
Worryingly, doctors have told the youngest contestant to take plenty of bed AND voice rest AGAIN (she faced similar struggles before the semi-finals last week) if she has any hope of participating in this year’s final. The Radio Times were also told that decisions on whether the rising star performs are being ‘taken day by day’. Eek.
Louisa is due to take part in the final of the competition this Saturday evening, when she will compete in the closing sing-off with fellow finalists 19-year-old Che Chesterman and the boys that seem to have captured all of our hearts – Reggie N Bollie.
Undeniably, Louisa sang her socks off during both of her performances last weekend – the first being her rendition to Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s* The Power Of Love,* and the second being her version of Christina Aguilera’s remake of James Brown’s well-known 1966 hit It’s A Man’s World, which all four judges were firmly on their feet for.
We were hoping to be treated to another round of amazing performances from Louisa this weekend, but at this stage, it looks like it’s all a bit up in the air.
Poor Louisa. Get well soon!
