Another Maltese Star Is Born! Gaia Cauchi Sails Through X Factor UK Audition
It’s official! Gaia Cauchi has made it to the next phase of X Factor UK after a stunning performance earned her four yeses from the judges.
Simon Cowell, Ayda Williams, Robbie Williams and Louis Tomlinson were floored by the 15-year-old Maltese singer’s vocal abilities, and all four of them gave her the thumbs up to continue to the next round of X Factor UK.
Her successful performance now places Gaia firmly in the spotlight, with all eyes on her as fans and viewers alike will watch to see how she progresses in the famous competition.
Her audition, which aired Saturday night on ITV, showed the singer performing Paloma Faith’s ‘Only Love Can Hurt Like This’. Her talent impressed Robbie Williams so much he even said: “You’re incredibly charismatic and I think you have The X Factor.”
Williams also shared his concerns that Gaia was too young and should probably have a go joining a group, though the audience booed him when he suggested it.
Gaia Cauchi made waves in 2013 when she won Junior Eurovision for Malta with her song The Start. Her first international showcase came two years earlier when she appeared on the popular Italian TV show Ti Lascio Una Canzone and belted out Tina Turner’s ‘Proud Mary’. She won the prestigious Sanremo Junior Music Festival a year later in her category when she was just nine years old, singing ‘One Night Only’, from the hit film Dreamgirls.
