Can we hear something else?
What's your name?
My name is Morgan Smith and I'm from Watford.
And how old are you Morgan?
I'm 15.
Wow!
And why are you here today?
Because I want to perform in front of the Royal Family.
I take it, are you going to sing for us today?
Yep, I'm singing Spotlight by Jennifer Hudson.
And why did you choose that?
It's a powerful song and I think I can show my ability with it.
I'm Morgan Smith, I'm 15 years old and I come from Watford.
My life is music.
Everything I do, I sing.
When I'm doing exams to remember stuff, I make it into a song.
I just love everything about music.
Today I've got my dad, my mum and my younger brother supporting me.
You're going to be fine.
I could just freeze on stage, I could just...
But you won't.
Where are you from?
She was quite a nervous, quite sensitive little girl.
But then when she starts singing, I just am so bursting with pride
because she's just beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
Who do you want to impress the most?
Simon.
Why is that?
He's the main man.
Even though I'm only 15, this is definitely my focus in life.
Bye.
Good luck, good luck.
Bye.
Good luck.
I want to be able to perform in front of thousands of people
and show everyone what I can do.
OK, the stage is yours.
Fulfilling your needs as well as mine
Or is it just a sentence
Am I doing time
Oh baby I don't lie
Living under your spotlight
Morgan, can we hear something else?
Erm, yes.
You've got Rather Go Blind there to James.
Why don't we do that?
OK.
What you've got to do is be strong and confident.
OK.
Make us believe that you believe in yourself.
I want to feel your heart, I want to feel your spirit,
I want to know what's behind that face.
Yeah.
Now you've heard a little bit of advice,
why don't we turn this into the Morgan Smith concert?
Something told me
It was over
When I saw you and her
Talking
Something deep down
In my soul
Said cry girl
When I saw you and her
Walking out
So you see
I love you so much
That I just don't want you to leave me baby
Most of all
I just don't want to be free
I was just, I was just
Sitting here thinking
About your kiss and your warm embrace
So you see
Still a fiction off the glass
How the hell got my lips, no baby
See the tears that was on my eyes
I'm actually really glad you've come on this show
because we've seen in the past
Simon has managed to mould certain people
into really big stars.
And I think you've definitely got the talent
and you've definitely got the potential.
I think it was brilliant.
Thank you.
You have so much potential.
You don't know how good you are yet.
Thank you.
Morgan,
that wasn't the best audition I've ever heard.
Having said that,
I think you are really, really good.
Well done, Simon.
Great voice, great personality.
You're one of the better singers
we've heard on the show this year.
So we're gonna vote now
and I'm gonna kick this off with a yes.
Thank you.
It's a yes from me, darling.
It's a yes from me.
Morgan,
you have four yeses.
Congratulations.
Excellent.
Thank you.
So pretty.
That was brilliant.
So don't let it go.
We can make some more.
We can live.
Always find a way to make it better.
Thought we were going strong.
We were holding.
Make some more.
We can live.
My goodness.
You took an exam today.
A GCC exam today.
And for that,
I'm crazy.
Oh my goodness.
That's amazing.
To stand here at 16
with more experience,
you are gonna be a force to be reckoned with.
You are special.
You really are.
Absolutely ridiculous how confident you are.
That voice,
it sounds so mature
and so powerful
and so grounded.
It was absolutely stunning.
Thank you.
You did amazing.
Morgan, just remind me,
how old are you?
16.
Unbelievable.
Let me tell you something, Morgan.
When I first saw you,
I thought you're a talented girl.
Not much personality.
Yeah.
A little bit forgettable.
Yeah.
And then,
you come back tonight
with a killer song.
A great performance.
You,
I think,
honestly,
forgetting, you know,
like the choirs and stuff,
but in terms of the solo singers,
you are the best singer we've had on the show so far.
That was a giant leap forward for you
from the audition.
It was really, really astonishing.
Well, I'm echoing what you said.
I had a look at your GCSE exam paper
this afternoon.
Sorry to say you failed,
but this was fantastic.
