Lauren Spencer Smith, now aged 16, from Canada, has recently wowed the judges on "Americal Idol". 

However, her talent was spotted long before this. When she was just 11 years old, she was called up on stage by Keith Urban at one of his concerts, where she confidently performed the Bob Dylan and Adele hit 'Make You Feel My Love' stunning both Urban and the crowd. 

Urban explained that it is common during one of his concerts to let a person come on the stage to sing with him. They had already had a person on stage earlier in the evening, but the decision was made to bring another person on since Urbran found Lauren's vocals so remarkable. The girl's singing provided the crowd with a special experience they didn’t soon forget.

The song Lauren and Urban would sing together was 'Make You Feel My Love' by Bob Dylan and Adele. After singing just the song's first verse, the audience got excited. One of the most impressive aspects of Lauren's performance was how the 11-year-old girl was not intimidated or shy. She calmly stood next to a singer that is world-famous in front of a crowd that was over 19,000 people singing as if she did it all the time. 

Fast-forward to 2020 and Lauren is still impressing audiences everywhere. This time it's on television, as reported here by Global News. Now Lauren can add Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan to her list of superstar fans. 

Keith certainly spotted a young talent here. Pass this video on to friends and family who love music, or need a nudge to keep pursuing their dreams.
