While this may prompt a tear, you might think twice once you know the real story behind each of these performers.

Christian Burrows worked at the time as a barman at the Bolton nightclub VIP. He sang a song dedicated to his deceased brother from childhood that only mum had heard. With a wavering voice, the song told about what he would do if he were two again.

As a singer-songwriter, he apparently drew inspiration from the likes of Ed Sheeran, so it was good to see that a year later he released “Two Again” as his debut single (renamed from “Thunder Buddy” when he played it on the show). He made it as far as the judges’ houses but not the live show in 2016.

Jillian Jensen was bullied in school and breaks down after her song receives a standing ovation. Having performed on a stage for two years old, it was inevitable she would try the talent shows. She appeared in X Factor USA in 2012 and American Idol in 2013. This helped launch her own album in 2014. While she now mainly plays gigs and weddings she has also been running a foundation since 2007 called “Magic of Music” that gives scholarships to those unable to fund their own lessons or instruments.
