Media darling and Britain's Got Talent finalist Hollie Steel recently visited Hong Kong to wow local fans with her incredible voice and promote her upcoming album, due out next year.
For those that don't watch the popular television show, the then 10-year-old Hollie was a contestant who sparked controversy when she broke down in tears after forgetting the words to Edelweiss from The Sound of Music.
Although the rules prohibited a second chance, the famously curmudgeonly judge Simon Cowell spoke to producers, allowing the young singer another go. Hollie eventually came sixth.
Since then, Hollie, now 11, has signed with VVR2 records and has begun studio work on her debut album. Her first single, Where Are You, Christmas?, from the film How the Grinch Stole Christmas, is due out on December 7, just in time for the holidays.
Three of the album tracks have been confirmed so far: O Mio Babbino Caro, an aria from Giacomo Puccini's opera Gianni Schicchi, Nessun Dorma, an aria from Puccini's Turandot which was made famous by Luciano Pavarotti, and When She Loved Me from Toy Story 2.
Performing in the chilly night-time air outside Lok Fu Plaza on November 18, Hollie sang Nessun Dorma and Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again from the musical The Phantom of the Opera, the number she performed for the final round of Britain's Got Talent.
Hollie amazed local celebrity singers Jason Chan Pak-yu and Denise Ho Wan-sze with her professionalism by performing in the cold dressed only in a party dress. Ho was most impressed that Hollie could sing so strongly in such cold conditions.
