Simon Cowell had already chosen his final six, and Olivia knew she had to deliver an exceptional performance to earn a spot among them.
Her nerves were evident as she took the stage, her voice shaky as she introduced herself. Olivia chose Paloma Faith’s “Changing” for her audition, a bold choice given the situation. As she started singing, Simon’s skeptical expression hinted at the high stakes. However, Olivia found her strength mid-song, powering through with a more confident and commanding voice. The audience, sensing her determination, cheered her on as she built momentum, culminating in a strong and emotional finish.
The judges were clearly impressed by her resilience. Nicole Scherzinger even commented that Olivia deserved a spot in Simon’s final six. Simon, facing a difficult decision, acknowledged how difficult it was for him to choose, knowing he’d have to replace one of his selected contestants. After much deliberation, Simon made the call, giving Olivia Seat #3, securing her spot in the final six.
The moment Olivia received the standing ovation and broke down in tears was a powerful testament to her courage and determination. Despite the nerve-racking pressure, she proved her talent and earned her place in Simon’s final six. Her audition not only moved the audience but solidified her as a contestant to watch.
