Pinay singer Ivy Grace Paredes leaves The X Factor UK with standing ovation

Ivy Grace Paredes may have left The X Factor UK but the Filipina singer definitely made her mark on the show.

The Pinay singer received a standing ovation after her powerful performance of "I Have Nothing" by Whitney Houston during the six-chair challenge.

X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger told Ivy Grace: "I know why you left the Philippines because your voice is way too big for the Philippines alone, it's meant for the entire world to hear."

Simon Cowell pointed out: "Is it the most original thing we've ever heard? No. Is it exciting? Yes. Should you be in a chair, yes."

The 33-year-old singer was expected to move on to the next round but she was unable to secure an American visa. As a result, she could not travel to the Los Angeles residence of mentor Sharon Osbourne for the Judges' House round.

Rapper Honey G replaced Ivy Grace in the Overs category of The X Factor UK.
