Though 19-year-old Julia Wu is quite the pianist, she also wants to be recognized for her singing abilities, which are on display on the teenager's YouTube channel. Julia started playing primarily classical music when she was just a toddler and now attends the Berklee College of Music in Boston. In the video below, Julia auditions for the X Factor Australia and, despite a minor hiccup, captivates the crowd.
Julia chooses to play the Whitney Houston song, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" for her try-out. After a brief introduction from the judges the teenager begins her piece, but immediately after starting, Julia makes a mistake. She quickly apologizes and appears to be stunned as she covers her mouth and holds back tears. "Can I start again?" she asks. The judges offer their support and so does the crowd, their round of applause showing their sympathy. "Julia, right now, close your eyes, you're in your living room, there's nobody here," a judge says to ease her nerves.
Julia seems right at home from that point on and gives an incredible performance. She displays both her excellent singing and piano skills, much to the delight of the crowd. Watch the video below to see Julia overcome some minor jitters and go on to stun the audience. What did you think?
