She Was Only 15… But WHERE Did That Soulful Voice Come From?!

Khaya Cohen was only 15 when she showed up on The X Factor USA Season 3 with a voice that sounded like it had decades of soul behind it! Her unexpected spin on Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven" during the Four Chair Challenge earned her a spot on Demi Lovato's team, and she wasn't done surprising people. From "Mercy" and "My Girl" to "Borderline" and "Let It Be," Khaya gave it everything she had, survived a nail-biting sing-off, and made it all the way to 10th place!
