Natalie Okri misses out on a place in the BGT final
May 25th, 2009 | 
Author: Sadly, Natalie Okri’s Britain’s Got Talent dream has come to an end. Natalie, appearing in the first semi-final which also contained Susan Boyle, will not be going through to the final of Britain’s Got Talent.
Susan Boyle won the public vote, Natalie Okri and dance troupe Diversity received came next in the public vote (although we don’t know the order). It was the judges’ task to choose between Diversity and Natalie Okri for the remaining place in the final – and they chose diversity.
Nevertheless, Natalie Okri looked and sounded every bit the superstar as she sang “Superstar”, originally made famous by Jamelia.
The judges clearly enjoyed Natalie’s performance.
After she had finished, Piers Morgan asked: “How are you feeling?” Natalie replied: “excited.”
“You should be – to come on that stage in front of millions people at 10 years old. It is incredible. I couldn’t do it and I’m four times your age. It was terrific. You are a little star in the making.”
Amanda added: “I have been looking forward to your performance and you didn’t disappoint me. You are beautiful, really confident and you looked like you enjoyed every second. You owned that stage, and I know that is Louis’s favourite line but well done, fantastic performance.”
Simon finished the comments, saying: “I still totally adore you. You’re one of the cutest kids I have ever met. On a slight downer, I wouldn’t have chosen that song. What it didn’t give you is an opportunity to see who you are. It was more cutsey than what I would have preferred. Just smile and you’ll get a load of votes.”

Hi,
I have been impressed by the courage of this girl. She got a lot of courage and she is indeed talented even if what she chosen for this semi-final was not the best for her.
The fact she could not make it should not discourage her, but it should help her to see the reality of the show business and the world, and it should help her to prepare herself for another competition. Through this, she will gain a lot of maturity and be able to do better next time, and even be the best the world has ever seen. She won’t be just a mini-Beyonce, but will be a star of her own; that means with her own personality.
I am particularly proud of her, and I believe there is no use to listen and read those who cannot see her performance and give bad comments, when she will overcome this, she will come back and they will be all surprised, and realize that they could not have done what she did.
God bless you, guides and protects you my dear Nathalie.
