We have followed the contestants right from their first audition, watched them compete for a chair at the renowned brutal Six Chair Challenge, saw them fight for a place in the Live Shows at Judges’ Houses and now the final sixteen contestants have been selected and are preparing for the first Live Show of the new series of ‘The X Factor.’ There is a brand new Judging line-up on the show this year – made up of Simon Cowell, Louis Tomlinson, Ayda Field-Williams and Robbie Williams.l

In her first audition, Shan performed ‘Never Enough’ from movie ‘The Greatest Showman.’ She received a full standing ovation and Judge Ayda Field-Williams said that she was the ‘strongest competitor we have seen yet.’
In her Six Chair Challenge, she delivered another fantastic performance, performing ‘A Song For You’ by Leon Russell, Ray Charles and Willie.
For her Judges Houses performance, Shan performed an original track, titled ‘Get Back.’ She explained that she wrote the track following her time at the Six Chair Challenge, also saying that the message conveyed through the track was that through hard work, effort and belief, dreams can be achieved.
