Immi Davis, a talented 9-year-old, captivated audiences when she showcased her spellbinding performance on the popular reality show, Britain’s Got Talent 2022. From the moment she took the stage for her audition, Immi left a lasting impression.
Judge Simon Cowell couldn’t help but be charmed by her shy yet polite demeanor as he asked her some introductory questions. Immi’s straightforward and endearing answers not only won over the audience but also left Cowell feeling a tad “stupid,” in his own words.
When Cowell asked Immi why she chose to sing “I Put A Spell on You” by Screaming Jay Hawkins, she simply responded, “It’s because I’ve been practicing it”. Considering the song’s demand for a confident and powerful voice, it was quite impressive coming from a shy 9-year-old like Immi. And her performance did not disappoint; it was nothing short of spectacular.
As soon as the music started, Immi took control of the stage and the song, showcasing her commanding voice. Many reviewers even noted a resemblance to the late Amy Winehouse in Immi’s vocals.
Not only was her performance remarkable, but the heartwarming reactions of her family added to the overall charm. Immi’s undeniable talent earned her the approval of the judges and a well-deserved standing ovation from the audience.
Since its release in 2022, it has amassed over 16 million views and garnered 200K likes. Her performance received tons of compliments such as “Wow how can a voice like that come out of a nine year old girl. Simply amazing. The talent on these shows are tear jerking incredible!”
However, despite her undeniable talent, many viewers felt that Immi was unjustly denied the “Golden Buzzer” and took to social media to express their disappointment. The controversy even made headlines in the press.
One wrote, “She should’ve gotten the gold buzzer. She was outstanding! Shy, pretty, well mannered and that voice! I hope whatever dreams this lil darlin’ has comes true for her.”
