Performing on live television for TV shows like the X-Factor or American Idol can be nerve-wracking experiences. So, in 2015, when Chloe Paige said that not only would she be singing the challenging song "Amazing Grace", but singing it a cappella, the judges were shocked.

Even the notoriously difficult judge Simon Cowell said, "You're a brave girl" before she began. Imagine hearing those words right before you dive into your most high-risk performance yet!

With the atmosphere set for Chloe, she had the chance to either prove everyone wrong and succeeded enormously or to fall flat on her face. What happened next was not only a great performance but an incredibly moving one that showed her artistic integrity and vocal power. Through projecting her voice, she was able to control the stage despite being only one person who was unaccompanied by any music at all.

And, in the context of "Amazing Grace", what better way to sing that song than in a manner that makes the audience think the performer is truly empowered? The lyrics speak about feeling powerful due to the support of faith and the grace of God, so it only makes sense to sing these words as passionately as you can.

It's amazing that Chloe was able to bring this sort of presence to the stage, as she reminded everyone there, even Simon, as well as those watching at home, that faith is a powerful thing and that music is a wonderful way of singing the praises of her Lord.
