Another week, another incredibly surprising performance from Carly Rose Sonenclar on X Factor USA, the 13-year-old singer on team Britney Spears. You can see it in full above.

Much like on previous nights, Carly really poured her heart into her song, wowing both judges and audiences with her perfect performance.

As Simon Cowell told her when it was over, she had great chances in the competition before, but now she totally deserves to have “top spot.”

“I’ve heard that song a lot of times. That was one of the best versions of it I’ve ever heard,” Mr. Nasty Simon added.

All the three other judges were in agreement: with each new show, Carly manages to outdo herself and, at the same time, bring something new to the table, setting the bar higher in the competition.

They’re not exaggerating either. Her “Somewhere over the Rainbow” was truly something out of this world. Check it out and, of course, enjoy!
