• Judges' Reaction

  While dancing her ballet routine, Simon Cowell was ready to hit the buzzer, meaning he had heard enough. Instead, Hollie Steel began singing "I Could Have Danced All Night," causing Cowell to stop and listen. After her performance ended, he said "I didn’t like what you were wearing, as you came over as a typical little girl who wants to be a ballerina. I wasn't crazy about the song, then, I heard you sing. I think Holly, you've got a fantastic voice."

  Another judge, Amanda Holden, sang along with the 10 year old girl, while a guest judge, Amanda Holden, cried throughout the performance then said "It was like looking in a mirror." The final judge, Piers Morgan, said "We have seen a lot of children on our show over the last three series and I have never heard any of them sing as well as you do."Sky News: 'Little Angel' Hollie To Trump 'Hairy Angel'?

  After the other judges gave their critique, Cowell smiled and said "Holly, you are sailing through to the next round."
