Singing a song that was originally performed by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston (as a duet), there’s no shortage of vocal gymnastics for Jess to work with. Feeding on the applause and unleashing her extraordinary voice, the teenager proves that nothing is beyond her reach. “I thought, let’s serve up these 2 big voices and see what she can do with it,” says Kyle explaining his song choice, “But I was a little bit disappointed”. By the sound of our studio audience, Kyle must be the only one disappointed.

She may have discovered the song’s meaning only seconds ago, but as Jess sings To Sir With Love it’s quite apparent that the tune is perfect for her voice. It’s a charming take on an old hit, and as Jess sits perched on a stool, the modest presentation suits the sentiment of the song. Neither Marcia nor Kyle can fault the stunning performance. Jess must feel as though she’s broken through a barrier as Kyle compliments her style. “You had me from the first second,” he says, “and that dress looks beautiful.”
