The X Factor

In 2015, Louisa auditioned for The X Factor, singing pop music group The Jackson 5’s “Who’s Lovin’ You.”

Johnson received a standing ovation from all four judges and progressed through to “bootcamp.” Louisa said that she chose this record since “it is a really, really hard song to sing, but I wanted to make a good impression.”

At “bootcamp,” the singer made it past the 6-chair challenge to “judges’ houses,” singing “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” by Jennifer Hudson.

At the judges’ houses, Louisa sang “Respect” by Aretha Franklin.

She later advanced to the finals along with Ché Chesterman (a singer-songwriter from Basildon, Essex, who studied music at college) and Reggie ‘n’ Bollie (a Ghanaian music duo that consists of Bollie Babeface and Reggie Zippy).
