Louisa Johnson’s X Factor Triumph Began With a Heart‑Stopping MJ Cover 🎤
In 2015, Louisa Johnson, then just 17, stunned everyone on The X Factor UK when she chose to perform The Jackson 5’s challenging classic, “Who’s Lovin’ You,” at her audition.
She later revealed she picked the song “because it is a really really hard song to sing, but I wanted to make a good impression”
Dressed in confidence and backed by her mum and close friends, Louisa took the stage visibly nervous—so much so that judge Cheryl Cole had to remind her to breathe.
The crowd’s reaction? A full-blown cheering session that helped her ground and deliver a powerful, soulful rendition.
That performance earned her a standing ovation from all four judges and secured her advancement to bootcamp, putting her on a path that would ultimately lead to her victory at the end of the season.
Louisa’s bold choice paid off — she became the youngest-ever winner of The X Factor UK at just 17, beating out other contestants with her raw talent and fearless song selection
