14 year old Emily Nakanda was the youngest girl to make it through to bootcamp and in my opinion she put some of the older singers to shame.

On tonight’s show we saw Emily sing Nina Simone’s Feeling Good for the Judges, she was fabulous and in my opinion deserves to make it through to the live X Factor shows.

However I wish that they would drop her story about nearly dying. It makes no difference to her singing ability, and if anything sob stories put me off possible winners.

UPDATE: I just watched Emily on the second audition show….not so good. Can she cope with the pressure of the live shows at 14? Maybe I overestimated her confidence and ability…..
