“LIFE Single Mom Is Crushed When The Music Stops, But Makes A Powerful Comeback! caroline CAROLINE BAYARD Advertisement Advertisement Singing on the X Factor stage is a lot different than anything Denise Weeks is used to, but this hard-working single mother has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

For her X Factor audition, the 41-year-old chose a touching classic from another woman with a powerful voice and an unbreakable spirit, Whitney Houston. However, Weeks let her fear get the best of her and rushed her performance of “Greatest Love Of All”. The harshest judge of all,”

“It’s quite a jump to go from singing on the subway to singing in front of thousands, not to mention Simon Cowell and his fellow judges on “The X Factor.” But that was exactly the journey taken by 41-year-old Denise Weeks. A single mother, she sings in the New York City subway for tips. She lost the father of her two children when they were very young, and devoted herself to doing everything she can for them. Winning a competition like “The X Factor” could change their lives for the better. And she certainly proved that her voice was made for bigger things than subway cars while belting out a Whitney Houston classic. Kelly Rowland told Denise that the competition had been waiting for someone like her. Simon was trying to figure out how she’d never been discovered while singing in the subway. Wetpaint’s Amber Garrett agreed, saying that it would be impossible not to notice that voice. And GossipCop said that she brought new life and emotion to the classic track.”
