She speaks with confidence and conviction, and she does not appear to be nervous in front of the four judges.<\/p>\n<p>Nhengu chose the song \u2018Walking on Sunshine.\u2019 It\u2019s by Katrina and the Waves, a new wave band from the 1980s. While Katrina and the Waves are not a one-hit-wonder, they are most known for a 1985 single. \u2018Walking on Sunshine \u2018 is a mainstay of 1980s films and nostalgic films.<\/p>\n<p>Nhengu tells the judges in her introduction that she has made some alterations to her song. She doesn\u2019t specify what she changed, whether it was a lyrical alteration or a different arrangement, so the audience and judges are understandably intrigued. Nhengu does not disappoint once she gets beyond the introductions and begins to sing.<\/p>\n<p>While the other three judges are all grin, Simon Cowell appears to have skipped breakfast and has a rumbly gut. \u201c \u201cI\u2019m eager to see what you\u2019ve done with this song,\u201d Simon says in response to Nhengu\u2019s claim that she changed her music.<\/p>\n<p>While Simon\u2019s glum face remains throughout the song, the audience quickly picks up on Nhengu\u2019s liveliness and sass. Her adjustments were slight, but they altered the song\u2019s overall meaning. Whereas the original song\u2019s chorus begins, \u201cyou\u2019re my sunshine\/and don\u2019t it feel wonderful,\u201d Nhengu\u2019s version begins, \u201cyou\u2019re my sunshine\/, but you gotta go.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"b-r b-r--middle_content\"><\/div>\n<p>This indicates that the song is about a breakup. Nhengu informs her that she does not want to spend her life waiting on her dating partner. It\u2019s an authoritative turn that fits Nhengu\u2019s demeanor well, from her body language to her caustic delivery to her attire. Nhengu is dressed to the floor in a floor-length gown with a huge rose bow in her hair.<\/p>\n<p>Nhengu has received nothing but praise from the other judges. Louis Walsh virtually gushes, claiming the young musician has \u201csomething extremely pleasant\u201d about her and applauding her attitude, song selection, and vitality. Walsh describes Nhengu as \u201csoulful,\u201d and anyone watching would agree with that judgment.<\/p>\n<p>Simon, on the other hand, seemed unimpressed. As Simon says, \u201cI\u2019m departing, to be honest with you.\u201d the room grows silent, and the house music changes. You performed one of my worst songs ever.\u201d Then Simon takes a breather. The entire world appears to stop until Simon replies, \u201cYou did something different with it\u2013I like you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nhengu appears to breathe for the first time in several minutes as Simon continues to compliment her on her jazzy approach. All four judges give Game a yes after she tells about her mother through tears. Simon even says \u201d a million percent yes\u201d right as Nhengu\u2019s lover steps out on stage to congratulate her overjoyed daughter. Sometimes changing things up is the best way to demonstrate how amazing you are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e-q6hT-msik\" width=\"662\" height=\"372\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ooC6GWjUkgc\" width=\"662\" height=\"372\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HMwv6RsCXRM\" width=\"662\" height=\"372\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cX Factor UK candidate Gamu Nhengu captures Simon Cowell\u2019s attention and breathes fresh life into a song created before she was born, all in a three-minute performance.\u201d Nhengu is 18 &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7975,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[474],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7974"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7974\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7976,"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7974\/revisions\/7976"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7975"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news4you.fit\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
