Which was extraordinary. Because Ellona Santiago had stood in front of Simon Cowell before. Two years earlier at just 14 years old she had auditioned for Season 1 as a solo artist. She had failed to advance on her own. She had been put into a group called InTENsity. That group had been eliminated in 12th place. Simon Cowell had been there for every single moment of it. Then Ellona Santiago walked back in at 16 years old and Simon Cowell did not recognize her face. Then she sang. And what came out of a 16 year old Filipino American girl from San Lorenzo California who had already been forgotten once was so completely extraordinary that Simon said the one thing that made sure that would never happen again. He said Ellona I will remember this name Ellona Santiago. Simon did not recognize her walking in. Her voice made sure he never forgot her walking out. Watch every single performance that proved why that was only the beginning. 0:00 Ellona Santiago - The X Factor USA 2013 S3 5:15 Ellona Santiago (Four-Chair Challenge) - The X Factor USA 2013 S3 11:33 Ellona Santiago (Live Show) (Week 1) - The X Factor USA 2013 S3 14:59 Ellona Santiago (Live Show) (Week 2) - The X Factor USA 2013 S3 17:36 Ellona Santiago (Live Show) (Week 2) - The X Factor USA 2013 S3 20:48 Ellona Santiago (Live Show) (Week 2) - The X Factor USA 2013 S3. 25:29 Ellona Santiago (Live Show) (Week 4) - The X Factor USA 2013 S3 30:32 Ellona Santiago (Live Show) (Week 5) - The X Factor USA 2013 S3 35:35 Ellona Santiago (Quarter-Finals Song 1) - The X Factor USA 2013 S3 40:06 Ellona Santiago (Quarter-Finals Song 2) - The X Factor USA 2013 S3 #AGT #BGT #XFactor #Idol #Viral ABOUT TOP VIRAL TALENT Welcome to Top Viral, your ultimate destination for the most jaw-dropping, heart-pounding, and unforgettable auditions from talent shows like America’s Got Talent, Britain’s Got Talent, The X Factor, and more from across the globe!
