"Ella, Nicole set to headline inaugural SATY Awards"
"She was the 16 year old that had former X
factor Judge Nicole Scherzinger bawling her eyes out and proclaiming;
'You can't judge that, you just have to be honoured', this was after
contestant Ella Henderson mesmerised other judges and the audience alike
with her rendition of Cher's song, Believe during season 9 of X Factor
UK.
Two years later, mentor and mentee are set
to headline the inaugural ANN7 SATY Awards on the same stage, where
extra ordinary South Africans will be celebrated and honoured, amid pomp
and fanfare.
Her debut single Ghost was declared the
fastest selling UK release for 2014 garnering mass acclaim and rave
reviews that have equalled latest sensation Sam Smith's award nominated
debut.
Performing Ghost to a live audience of
over 80000 still stands out in this starry eyed 18 year old who said: '
The last six months have just been one high after another. Performing
Ghost in front of 80,000 people at Wembley Stadium is a moment I will
never forget."
Now with the second single release Glow,
imminent just before the full debut album release end of this month, the
excitement levels have hit crescendo heights. Ella and her X factor
mentor Nicole land in South Africa next week where excitement and
anticipation has already hit roof level.
Ella's latest single Ghost has reach
platinum status in both sales and radio spins across many radio
stations, while Nicole's anticipated 'On The rocks' single will be
