Hello, what's your name? My name is Shania Shania. And if you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I'm 13. You're 13. Wow.
And where are you from? I am from Dublin. I just moved here from the Philippines. Amazing.
So now obviously this is a big prize if you win this competition. It's your own TV show and 50,000 euros. So what are you going to do if you win?
I want to use the money for my brothers and sisters to go here so we can be a whole family because I really miss them so much.
Okay, so there's a lot riding on this for you. Let's see your performance. Thank you.
It's hard to take courage in a world full of people. You can lose sight of it all. The darkness inside you can make you feel so small.
And I see your true colors shining through. I see your true colors and that's why I love you. Don't be afraid to let them show.
Your true colors, true colors are beautiful. Like rain, like rain.
You've got the most amazing voice. You sang that from your heart and you sang that for your siblings and they will be so proud of you.
Shania, it was effortless and it was pitch perfect. And you're only 13.
You're a beautiful little kid. That was just amazing.
For your age you have such amazing control of your vocals. Have you gotten lessons? Have you been coached?
No. That is remarkable.
Right, let's cast our votes. Okay, we're going to start with Louis.
Shania, absolutely yes.
Michelle, don't even have to ask me. Absolutely yes.
Thank you so much.
Jason. Yeah, well done. Absolutely brilliant.
And I think the audience will agree with me. It's a yes!
Oh my goodness gracious. Thank you.
My name is Shania and I am 13 years old and I live in Dublin.
How are you feeling just perched there looking all beautiful?
I feel so nervous. Do you? Why?
Because this is my first time being in a competition.
How do you calm your nerves then, side of stage?
I talk to my dad and he makes me feel comfortable.
I'm proud. Thank you. He always say that to me.
I'm going to take you towards the stage now if you want to come with me.
Really?
Hi, what's your name? My name's Cora.
Hello Cora, where are you from?
I'm from Derry City.
Cora, how old are you?
I'm nine years old. Nine years old. Any brothers or sisters?
Yes, I have two brothers. One older and one younger.
Oh, you're right in the middle Cora.
Is that tough for you to be a middle child?
No, not at all. Good girl.
What are you going to do? Are you going to sing for us?
I'm going to sing for you. Right, go ahead.
Don't tell me not to live just in a puddle.
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter.
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade.
Don't tell me not to fly. I've simply got to.
If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you.
Who told you you're allowed to rain on mine?
Hey, Mr. Ornstein.
You're turned up, sir. At least you didn't fake it, hat, sir.
Guess I didn't make it. Get ready for me, love, cause I'm a cover.
I've simply got my mouth and I'm a nose.
Wow, Cora, wow.
This is the second coming of Miss Barbara Streisand.
That was fantastic, Cora.
Goodness, you just commanded that stage.
Thank you so much.
It was perfect. You lit up the stage.
Absolutely brilliant.
Thank you so much.
Cora, I would not like to live in your house.
I mean, your parents must have to keep fixing the windows every day.
I don't even know where that's coming from out of your head.
They were so good. Well done.
Thank you so much.
I think we could be looking back at this clip in about 20 years' time.
And we'll be saying, remember it all started on that show.
Arlen's got talent.
I don't think you realise how good you are and how good you're going to be.
Thank you.
It's time to vote.
Denise, a star in the making, a massive yes from me.
Jason.
I can't believe that I've said yes to Cora Harkin, the star of the future.
Cora Harkin, absolutely yes.
You've got three yeses and I'm going to throw a fourth in there.
It's a yes from me, Cora!
