2021โs X Factor runner-up Carly Rose Sonenclar is a far cry from the 13-year-old who wowedย Simon Cowellย andย Britney Spearsย on the reality TV singing competition ten years ago.
The X Factor creator called her โthe best alien Iโve ever heard sing in my lifeโ while the queen of pop, who was also her mentor, โthe little girl with the big voice,โย but itโs just now that the 23-year-old singer feels sheโs at the point where sheโs ready to have a music career.
At the time,ย Demi Lovatoย said they wanted to โbuy her music,โ and now they can. Even though that was ten years ago, a YouTube video of her audition for The X Factor has almost 50 million views and that number continues to go up.
