Girl Goes From Street Vendor To Star After Amazing Judges With Unreal Beyoncé Cover. 

Like many X Factor contestants, 22-year-old Alisah Bonaobra went into her audition with dreams of becoming a star– but she had more than that on her mind.

“I’m here to represent all the Pilipino communities here in U.K.” she told judges. Alisah has been singing since she was 5 years old, and now works as a wedding singer.

“Our life in Manila is very very tough. When I sing at weddings, all my extra money goes to my family to support them. We don’t have enough money for ourselves.â€

Her family works selling food on the street. “I’m only here because of my mother’s friend; they just contributed enough money for a plane ticket just to audition here in X Factor U.K.â€

Between her story and her adorable, humble personality, the judges were no doubt rooting for Alisah before she even opened her mouth. But when she did, he voice was not what anyone expected!

Alisah took on “Listen” from the musical Dreamgirls, written for and performed by Beyoncé in the 2006 film. It’s a big song, but the petite singer’s voice is even bigger!
