On the most recent episode of The Voice Kids, Pixie Lott was overcome with emotion when one of the auditionees surprised her with a really touching song.
Abigail, 10, astonished the Mama Do hitmaker, 32, when she covered Bryan Adams’ (Everything I Do) I Do It for You, which she danced to during her wedding to husband Oliver Cheshire, 35.
Pixie and Oliver recently celebrated their first wedding anniversary, having married in a beautiful ceremony at Ely Cathedral in June after a brief delay caused by Covid.
They are also expecting their first child together!
During the blind audition, Abigail stunned judges Pixie, Danny Jones, Ronan Keating, and will.i.am with her lovely voice to the well-known song.
She originally selected the song because she enjoyed listening to “old tunes” with her grandparents, and this one in particular reminded her of her grandmother and grandfather.
But she had no idea that the song would mean so much to one of the coaches.
After being left amazed by the performance and as her family sobbed with pride in the wings, Pixie told the young singer from Hartlepool: ‘That song was actually the first dance at my wedding!
‘So, thank you so much for singing that and you did it so beautifully.’
She added: ‘You’re at the age when you can take on things and we can work together and I just want to help you be the best that you can be.’
Ronan and Danny also turned in their chairs, putting their own pitches forwards.
Boyzone’s Ronan commended her “wonderful” voice and how she “made the song her own.”
Danny then complimented her ‘control’ and ‘passion,’ saying it would be a ‘honour’ to have her on his squad.
Danny was ultimately successful because Abigail picked him as her mentor.
But what happened next was simply wonderful.
Speaking to her fellow judges, a smiley Pixie recalled: ‘That was my first dance at my wedding. That song gives me all the feels.
‘It makes me cry!’
She also said that co-star Danny attended her wedding and sang his own rendition of Summer Of ’69 to guests.
‘It brought the house down!’, Pixie said.
So, it was only right that the McFly star sang it again, right?
Taking up a microphone and his guitar, he collaborated with Pixie on the famous rock song, which had the audience on its feet.
Following Abigail’s audition, one Twitter user predicted that the aspiring recording artist will “go places.”
