We were treated to a plethora of talent at this week's first X Factor series 8 show. Some good, some bad...some very, very bad. However, it seems that there was one very sweet singer whose voice captured the attention of quite a few celebs; 16-year-old Janet Devlin from Northern Ireland.
Janet sang her own rendition of Elton John's Your Song, her voice reminded us of Ellie Goulding's with a hint of Diana Vickers, although (thank the lord) there was no claw hand to be seen. The very shy appearing young lady has already been tipped to get to the final stages of the talent show after sailing through her first audition, leaving the judges speechless.
In true form, many a celeb took to the social networking site Twitter to show their support after Janet's audition. Lily Allen tweeted,
Janet !!!!!!!!!', then later she added 'I love her.' But Lily wasn't the only one impressed by the performance, footballer Wayne Rooney also tweeted,
'Wow what a voice. Not many people can sing that song that well. Amazing'. Fellow footballer Rio Ferdinand also tweeted,
'This Irish girl has pure *star* quality . . . Well she is 1 of the finalists this year on #xfactor'. Even DJ Sarah Cox was getting in on the action, tweeting,
'She's so cute & sweet. She's like a human cupcake'.
Well get in line celebs of Twitterville, we're backing Janet all the way! When interviewed and asked how she feels about her overnight success, she says that she is "overwhelmed" by all of the support. The young songstress already has droves of fans on her official youtube channel. We've included a video below of her covering Adele's hit, Someone Like You.
Also for those of you who may have missed the very entertaining yet extremely odd performance from Thai Chi instructor Goldie Cheung, go and watch it right now. You must. That is all.
