A YOUNG singer from Glasgow wowed TV judges on Saturday night during her appearance on The Voice Kids. 

Peyton Chu, an 8-year-old performer, sang Colours of the Wind from Disney's Pochahontas during her blind audition in Manchester, which was broadcast on ITV. 

Crowds cheered as Peyton walked onto the stage, with three judges choosing to 'press their button' for the talented youngster.

This brings Peyton one step closer to the £30,000 prize and a family holiday to Orlando, Florida. 

Speaking to the Daily Record before the show went live, Peyton said: “I was a little bit nervous. I’m a huge Disney fan and love singing all Disney princess songs. Colours of the Wind has a nice tune and it suits my voice.

“I am really looking forward to watching my audition. It’s going to be so exciting to see myself on TV. I’m having a house party with my family and close friends.

Peyton said she hoped to see two judges in particular, Jessie J and Will.I.Am turn their chiars around for her, adding: "I would like to win but I think there are so many good singers so it might be hard.”

According to the youngster's mum, Peyton decided to take part in the auditions after seeing an advert on television. 

Mum Rowena, 39, told the Record: "At 15 months, she was already singing in baby language Twinkle Twinkle.

“She doesn’t stop singing. I am always in awe how she manages to learn new songs within a couple of times hearing it.

“I have had people comment that she’s born for the stage.

“She is still so young and being one of the youngest contestants in the competition, we’re already so proud that she reached this stage. Getting a chair turn and through to the next round would be amazing.

“It was great fun and such a memorable experience.

“She met lots of lovely kids and it was nice to see them all appreciate each other’s talents.”
