This adorable 53-year-old Mom just blew the X Factor judges away with her truly stunning voice. Within the first few notes, Jacqueline Faye had the judges and audience completely enraptured in her audition!
A self-professed Robbie Williams fan (judge and UK pop icon), Jackie was clearly a bit nervous singing in front of her idol. But those fears faded once she began talking about things familiar. Jackie is a Mom of three from a farm in Oxfordshire, England. She adorably introduced herself to the judges and told of all her loving animals waiting back home for her under the care of supportive husband, Bobbie.
When Jacqueline walked onto the stage, as typical with older contestants, the crowd and judges were unsure of what she had to offer. The behind-the-scenes clips had viewers at home completely sold before she even sang one note. There is truly something captivating about Jackie! Singing “You’re My World” by Cilla Black, before the end of the first verse it was clear that Jackie had surprised the judges.
”You’re my world, you’re every breath I take, You’re my world, every move I make, Other eyes see the stars up in the skies, But for me they shine within your eyes”
Simon especially looked like he had been “Susan Boyle-d” again! (Susan Boyle was an older contestant on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009 and wowed judges with an unexpected voice.) Jackie’s girls stood backstage in full confidence that their Mom had what it takes to knock everyone’s socks off – and boy did she! What hadn’t shared on camera previously was that she is no stranger to the stage or singing; Jackie had a professional singing career in the past. Once she began singing, the nerves faded for complete confidence in her craft! We were instant fans and can’t wait to hear what Jacqueline will pull out next!
