Ivy Grace Paredes made her international mark as she set the audition stage of The X Factor UK earlier this year with her impeccable rendition of Whitney Houston's classic hit "All The Man That I Need".
The 33 year-old Pinay singer and mother of a 2-year old girl told the X Factor judges that she was inspired to audition in the show because of 4th Impact, who made it all the way to the live shows last year.
She tells cameras in tonight's show: "Last year I was browsing the internet because I only watch X Factor on YouTube because I don't have television. I watched 4th Impact, a group of four Filipino sisters. When I watched them I got really inspired that if they can make it, I can make it two."
Ayegee continues: "I'm not getting any younger, but I can still be on stage which is why I am here on The X Factor. If I get the four yesses today, I go crazy, I want this.
Asked why she chose to come over just for The X Factor, a tearful Ivy Grace says: "For me, I believe this is the biggest competition and I want to be a part of it. X Factor can give me the stepping stones I need to do good in the future because this is all for my daughter."
