BACKGROUND:
Natalie started to singing Natasha Bedingfield’s song ‘These Words’ when she was 4. According to her mother, Tabitha, she is singing non stop and always used to entertain people with her singing. Everyone kept telling Tabitha that Natalie should be entered into a talent competition, as she was so good. So this year Natasha insisted and persuaded her mum to enter her into BGT.
Natalie lives in Surrey Queys with Tabitha (42) who runs her own accounting business and sister Michelle (19) who is studying at university.Dinky diva Natalie Okri made it into the top three on tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent, but lost out to dance group Diversity when Piers Morgan and Simon Cowell decided they should go through.
The little singing star had been touted as a contender to rival Susan Boyle in the final, but this was not to be.
Natalie looked as lovely as ever when she took to the stage and performed Jamelia’s pop hit Superstar.
The judges smiled throughout her performance.
When she had finished, Piers Morgan asked: “How are you feeling?” Natalie replied: “excited.”
“You should be - to come on that stage in front of millions people at 10 years old. It is incredible. I couldn’t do it and I’m four times your age. It was terrific. You are a little star in the making.”
Amanda added: “I have been looking forward to your performance and you didn’t disappoint me. You are beautiful, really confident and you looked like you enjoyed every second. You owned that stage, and I know that is Louis’s favourite line but well done, fantastic performance.”
Simon finished the praise by saying: “I still totally adore you. You’re one of the cutest kids I have ever met. On a slight downer, I wouldn’t have chosen that song. What it didn’t give you is an opportunity to see who you are. It was more cutsey than what I would have preferred. Just smile and you’ll get a load of votes.”
It is rare to see Simon so taken with a performer and although he didn’t put Natalie into the final tonight, at ten years old there is still plenty of time for this little lady to reach her star potential.
Could Simon be the man to make her dreams come true?
