Teen In Line For X Factor Auditions Grabs Busker’s Mic— Now Their Duet Is Going Viral.

It’s one thing to cut loose with a song when you’re alone in your bedroom or the relative solitude of a recording studio. But it’s another thing entirely to perform in front of dozens of strangers, leaving yourself open to judgment and criticism.

Chloe McAllister, a 17-year-old singer/songwriter from Northern Ireland, was waiting to audition for the X Factor about six months ago when she noticed a young busker standing outside the building where the auditions were being held.

She’s a complete newbie to the busking scene, but that wasn’t at all apparent when she joined the guitarist, Brad Heidi, for an impromptu cover of Jessie J’s 2011 ballad, “Who You Are.â€

Chloe uploaded the video of their duet to YouTube, saying “I sang this for a live Facebook broadcast as well! I have never busked before but I loved every second of it!â€

And her YouTube followers are totally digging it:

It’s not clear whether she actually went through with the X Factor audition, but this sampling may very well foretell a bright future for this gifted singer.
