Britain’s Got Talent welcomed Natalie Okri onto its stage in 2009 as she performed Alicia Keys’ No One in front of a live audience.
The youngster blew the judges and numerous ITV viewers away with her incredible vocals at just 10-years-old, with four yeses thrown at Natalie and seeing her sail through to the next stage.
Piers Morgan told her that she was “terrific” and said he “really loved” the performance, while Amanda Holden said the audition was “knockout brilliant”.
Simon Cowell told Natalie that she was “utterly adorable”.
Natalie made it right through to the semi finals after impressing the judges as she performed Superstar by Jamelia and advanced to the Judges Vote.

However, she didn’t advance to the final after getting one vote from Amanda, while Simon and Piers voted for her opposition, Diversity, who went on to win the series.
Although she didn’t win the series, Natalie’s confidence was anything but knocked, with the singer releasing her own tracks on her YouTube channel before moving over to her own albums.
Natalie appeared on Britain’s Got Talent 13 years ago, but what has the young singer been up to since?
Performing

Natalie continued to perform after her stint on the ITV show, but most of her YouTube videos when she first launched her channel 10 years ago see her either doing covers at home or performing at school.
She didn’t slow down and continued to focus on music and building on her passion, which has definitely helped her career long term.
Aside from performing as a youngster, Natalie continued to do performances right into her teens before releasing her very first music video four years ago, followed by albums.
