Jazzlyn Little, a 16 year-old who sees music as an escape from her real life, was extremely nervous before she owned the stage as she opened her mouth to sing “I’m Goin Down” by Mary J. Blige during the “The X-Factor” auditions on Thursday (September 29)- watch video below.

Wow. Jazzlyn truly became another person when she started to perform. She became more confident, sassy, intense and very soulful. Simon Cowell was so really pleased with Jazzlyn’s performance that he labeled her a world star and the one to watch in this competition. LA Reid and Paula Abdul agreed she was born to be a star.
