I’LL WIN..NO KIDNEY-ING!
06/09/2009
WONDERBOY Lloyd Daniels told last night how he hopes to win the show - five years after nearly dying from a serious kidney problem.
The 16-year-old dazzled the judges with his rendition of R Kelly's If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time - and Cheryl Cole told him: "You've got the X Factor."
Lloyd, from Treharris, south Wales, said: "I loved it from the second I stepped on stage. It was a long way from the state I was in five years ago."
The Welsh singer spent 2½ months in hospital when he was 11 after suffering a kidney blockage. Lloyd recalled: "I had to have a couple of operations. It was terrifying and I could have died. But it made me appreciate life and pursue my dreams."
At 16, Lloyd is among the youngest on the show, and has previously only sung karaoke and in school plays.
Nerves got the better of him at the start of his audition when he missed a few notes in Jason Mraz's song I'm Yours. But he got a second chance and didn't disappoint.
Lloyd said: "The audience were screaming and stamping their feet. It was incredible."
