Simon Cowell has delivered thousands of verdicts across twenty years of television. He has found words for everything. Every voice. Every performance. Every moment that surprised him. Not once in those twenty years has he reached for the same word twice in the same breath. Then Grace Davies walked onto the X Factor UK stage in 2017. A twenty year old factory disc packer from Blackburn Lancashire who had written her own song called Roots to prove every single person who had ever doubted her completely wrong. Then she sang it. And what came out of a twenty year old from Blackburn was so completely extraordinary so completely unexpected and so completely beyond what Simon had prepared himself to feel that the most experienced man in music reached for the only word he had left.
