LOUISA Johnson eased her way through to the judge’s houses round on X Factor with a stunning version of Jennifer Hudson’s And I Am Telling You.

The 17-year-old, from Chafford Hundred, had the judges and audience on their feet displaying her huge vocals which would even blow away the biggest divas in pop performance history.

The teen was performing during the six chair challenge on the talent show to earn a place at judge Rita Ora’s house. Louisa will now battle five other girls for a place in Ora’s final team and a place on the live shows.

Even the hard to impress Simon Cowell couldn’t hold back. He said: “You’re 17 years old. This doesn’t happen.”

Following the show Louisa, who is many people’s favourite to win the contest, simply tweeted “Goosebumps” before posting pictures of her with the five other girls.
