2021βs X Factor runner-up Carly Rose Sonenclar is a far cry from the 13-year-old who wowedΒ Simon CowellΒ andΒ Britney SpearsΒ on the reality TV singing competition ten years ago.
The X Factor creator called her βthe best alien Iβve ever heard sing in my lifeβ while the queen of pop, who was also her mentor, βthe little girl with the big voice,βΒ but itβs just now that the 23-year-old singer feels sheβs at the point where sheβs ready to have a music career.
At the time,Β Demi LovatoΒ said they wanted to βbuy her music,β and now they can. Even though that was ten years ago, a YouTube video of her audition for The X Factor has almost 50 million views and that number continues to go up.
