Chloe Paige Sings “Amazing Grace” A Cappella And Leaves The X Factor Judges Speechless | 6 Chair Challenge 2015
In one of the most daring performances of The X Factor UK 2015, Chloe Paige walked onstage for the high-stakes 6 Chair Challenge and made a bold decision that shocked the judges and audience alike — she performed “Amazing Grace” a cappella, with nothing but her voice to carry her.
And what a decision it was.
🌟 A Risk Worth Taking
The 6 Chair Challenge is one of the most nerve-wracking parts of The X Factor — contestants compete for one of six seats in their category, and each performance could mean securing a spot or being swapped out.
Instead of relying on instruments or backing tracks, Chloe stepped forward alone, putting everything on the line. Singing without accompaniment is a major risk on live television, but for Chloe, it was a chance to showcase the purity, control, and soul of her voice.
🎶 The Performance: Raw. Emotional. Flawless.
From the first note of “Amazing Grace”, Chloe held the entire arena in silence. Her tone was crystal clear, and the emotion in her voice felt both spiritual and haunting. Each phrase was delivered with intention, control, and reverence — as if she was pouring her heart into every single word.
She didn’t just sing the hymn. She lived it.
The crowd, previously buzzing with tension and chatter, fell into an awestruck hush. Even the judges looked stunned.
👏 Judges’ Reactions
The reaction from the judges was nothing short of overwhelming:
-
Simon Cowell was visibly moved. He praised Chloe’s bravery, saying it was “one of the most powerful performances” of the night.
-
Rita Ora, Chloe’s mentor, was nearly in tears. She applauded Chloe not just for her vocals but for her courage.
