Mom of two “wins the hearts of the nation” with her voice, is an inspiration

Last night, the 10th season of hit singing competition X Factor UK wrapped up and, despite having the most disappointing ratings so far, it didn’t lack in very emotional moments. One of them was Sam Bailey’s final performance.

You can see it in full and in HD in the video above: Sam chose to cover Demi Lovato’s “Skyscraper” and, as it turns out, she was very wise in her choice because there was barely a dry eye in the house by the time she was done.

Sam was also the winner of the show, just in case you were wondering how she fared on the finals.

She made her final number on the show a truly memorable one, leaving all four judges highly emotional, but no one more so than mentor Sharon Osbourne, who got so choked up she couldn’t even say a few words about it when it was over.

Even head judge Gary Barlow, who announced he was out of the show after the winner was revealed, seemed to be struggling to fight back tears.
