When you’re judging in a blind audition, you really won’t know what’s next. You just have to trust your ears and listen to your instinct. That’s exactly what judges Danny, Will.i.am, and Pixie Lott did when they were judging in The Voice Kids.

A 10-year-old girl from Swindon impressed them.

Her angelic singing voice got the three judges paying close attention to her. However, since it’s a competition, they needed to hear more from her. Fortunately, the little girl did not disappoint.

The first one was Will-i.am, followed by Danny and Pixie right before her performance ended.

Lilia was amazed after seeing all three judges turn for her. It was a magical and really surreal experience for her. It’s all she’s dreamed about.

In a separate area, Lilia’s family was cheering for her. Although nervous, they were quite sure that their precious girl would make it.

Lilia, although she has a shy personality, tend to change once she’s on stage. She becomes more confident and outgoing and those things helped a lot in her blind audition. Even the audience was impressed at how she was able to deliver such a difficult song.

In the end, the little girl chose Pixie Lotte.

She was a fan of the artist’s music and she considered her to be really friendly.

After the Blind Auditions, Lilia went straight to the Battle Rounds. There, she performed “ABC” together with Jimmy Ray and Shaney-Lee Pool. She won that round, earning her a spot in the semi-finals.

At the next round, Lilia performed I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me), a Whitney Houston classic. For her age, it’s quite impressive how she was able to put the right emotions to the song.

Lilia was able to get to the finals where she performed Something’s Got A Hold On Me. It’s an original single by Etta James, an American singer who excelled in various genres like jazz, gospel, blues, and rock and roll.

Although she was able to deliver an excellent performance, it wasn’t enough for her to win the top spot.

That season was dominated by Daniel Davies, another member of Pixie Lott’s team. His winning piece was Mariah Carey’s Anytime You Need A Friend.

Despite not winning the competition, Lilia’s dreams didn’t stop. In fact, it fueled her determination to do more and be better.

She currently shares her talent in music and singing through different platforms. The list includes YouTube and Instagram where she’s starting to earn subscribers.
