Julia Wu has been playing piano her entire life. She was studying at the world renowned Berklee College of Music when she decided that there was more to her than just being a classical pianist.
Like many musicians, she didn't just want to play her instrument, while someone else takes the spotlight. She has a beautiful voice she wanted to share with the world, so the 19-year-old decided to leave Boston for her home half-way across the globe for a shot at fame on the X Factor.
When Julia stepped on stage, you could tell she was nervous. She's still a teenager and performing in front of any crowd is nerve wracking. A few lines into her rendition of "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", she stopped. She thought she completely blew her chance at stardom, but then the judges gave her some very important advice.
Once she imagined herself in her comfort zone, there was no stopping this talented musician. Her performance would have made Whitney Houston proud and the standing ovation proved that there is always room for a second chance.
