Hollie Steel has appeared on the Today Show in the US via a satellite link. She is becoming very well known in the US in the aftermath of the Susan Boyle YouTube Sensation. She informed the viewers that wearing a Tutu for the audition was her mum’s idea. Simon Cowell criticised the fact that she had worn a Tutu after her stunning audition.
Simon Cowell was impressed with Hollie’s voice as she sang “I Could Have Danced All Night“, from My Fair Lady, but slated her for wearing the tutu, saying: “‘I didn’t like what you were wearing. You looked like any other little girl wanting to be a ballerina.”
Hollie told the Today Show viewers that she only wore the tutu because her mother had “told” her to.
She also said that she would be taking Simon Cowell’s advice and not dance during her next performance.
In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, Hollie said that she had been working on an operatic song for her next performance, and that her ambition was to star in a musical.
She said: “I’m going to do what Simon says and stop the dancing. I want to sing Nessun Dorma.
She added: “I would love to be on the stage in the West End, in Wicked. I’ve been to see it twice, I would love to be able to sing like Kerry Ellis.” (Kerry Ellis is the current star of Wicked).”
I’m going to do what Simon says and stop the dancing. I want to sing Nessun Dorma.
