Natali Okri has labelled Simon Cowell is a “big meanie” for not voting her into Saturday’s final of Britain’s Got Talent, according to an article in the Daily Mirror.

Little Natatie, who cried after the result was announced, blamed her song choice – Superstar originally performed by Jamelia, for her exit.

“I hated the song I sang, it didn’t let me show how good my voice is,” she told The Mirror. “I agreed with Simon when he said it was the wrong song for me, although I still think he’s a big meanie for voting against me.”

Natalie’s mum, Tabeth Mupondihunga agreed, blaming the show’s producers for making her choose the wrong song.

“The songs that Natalie wanted to sing were dismissed by the producers and we, without knowing better, gave in to their demands,” she said. “They even told Natalie not to dance as much, when she is a very good dancer.

“We knew that Simon would not like the song and I think the producers knew that too. I am not angry with the judges and I am incredibly proud of my little girl.”

And so you should be Tabeth, she is awesome!

Natalie Okri on Britain's Got Talent

Saturday’s edition of Britain’s Got Talent has another small star in the making, who perhaps will rival Susan Boyle’s apparently unbeatable position in the competition.

Cute Natalie Okri, just 10 years old, will astound both the judges and the audience with her version of No One, originally sung by Alicia Keys.

The petite diva sounds like a small Beyoncé, and according to “The Sun” newspaper, she tells the judges: “I’ve been singing since I was four I sing at school, I sing at home and I sometimes even sing when I am having my dinner! I want to be a singer and a diva and I definitely want to be like Beyoncé.”

Little Natalie’s dreams could come true as she leaves the judges very impressed with her performance.

Piers Morgan told her: “You are a very, very little girl with a very, very big voice, I loved it”, and Simon Cowell described her as “totally and utterly adorable”.
