Candice Glover auditioned for American Idol two times in a row before season 12. As they say, third time is a charm, so she won. The video above is of her performing her brand new single on Live! With Kelly & Michael.

Called “I Am Beautiful,” the song had its official premiere on the AI season finale a few days ago but, back then, Candice performed it right after she found out she’d won and she was too overwhelmed to do it justice.

Her execution this time is simply flawless.

Also included in the video, a brief interview with Candice, in which she explains what she did to make it on the finals on the show and then to win it, and how her experience should be a good example for all aspiring singers of why they should never lose hope, no matter the obstacles they encounter.

Enjoy!
