The crowd over there sounds so loud, but it's scary. I've never had nerves like this, you know. Actually, I auditioned for Simon Cowell on a UK talent show when I was four years old. Yeah. I gotta see this. That was when I was four years old. Oh my God. That moment in that room was when I knew I wanted to be a singer. Four years old. Thank you. The age limit was 16, so it wasn't really possible. Look how big they are. In 12 years' time, you're through. Yes! Actually. This is like 21 years later. I've got my mum and my whole family here, so hopefully I don't go out there and make a fool of myself. I don't know why it took 21 years. I did a lot of singing back home. I did what I could.
