Alisah Bonaobra Takes On Celine Dion’s “All By Myself” — and Leaves the Judges SHOOK! | Six Chair Challenge
🌟 Alisah Bonaobra Takes On Celine Dion’s “All By Myself” — and Leaves the Judges SHOOK! | Six Chair Challenge | The X Factor UK 2017 🎶🔥
Every once in a while, a singer steps on The X Factor stage and makes everyone sit up, hold their breath, and whisper, “Who is THAT?” 😱
That moment came in 2017, when a petite powerhouse from the Philippines named Alisah Bonaobra took on one of the most dangerous songs in music history — Celine Dion’s “All By Myself.” 🎤💫
🇵🇭 From Manila Dreams to the X Factor Stage
Alisah’s journey was already inspiring before she even sang a note. A proud Filipina with humble roots, she told the judges she came to The X Factor UK not just to chase her dream, but to make her family — and her country — proud. ❤️🇵🇭
Simon Cowell, always skeptical of singers who choose big diva songs, leaned back in his chair and raised an eyebrow when she revealed her song choice.
“Celine Dion? That’s brave,” he said with a smirk.
But brave didn’t even begin to cover it.
🎵 The Song Begins… and the Room Changes
As the first soft notes of “All By Myself” filled the arena, Alisah’s voice floated out — delicate, controlled, and full of emotion. You could feel the tension in the room.
Then came the moment everyone waits for — the key change. That impossibly high, powerful note that only the world’s best vocalists dare to tackle.
And Alisah? She nailed it. 🎤🔥
Her voice soared effortlessly into that iconic climax — clear, powerful, and bursting with emotion. The audience went from silent awe to absolute chaos. Standing ovation. Cheers. Even the judges couldn’t hide their shock. 😲🙌
😳 Sharon Osbourne’s Reaction
Alisah’s mentor, Sharon Osbourne, was visibly emotional. She stood, clapping her hands over her mouth in disbelief.
“You’re my little Filipina firecracker!” she shouted, smiling from ear to ear.
Sharon had already given away her six chairs — meaning that if Alisah wanted a spot in the next round, she’d have to take someone’s seat.
And after that performance, there was no question: someone was losing their chair. 💺💥
💥 The Six Chair Shake-Up
When Sharon finally announced that Alisah was taking a seat, the audience erupted in approval. Fans screamed, waved flags, and chanted her name.
But this was The X Factor’s Six Chair Challenge — so drama was inevitable.
The crowd booed as Sharon hesitated, unsure which contestant to swap out.
Tension built.
Finally, Sharon made her decision — and Alisah took her rightful place among the final six. 🙌🎉
🌍 The Internet Reacts
Within hours, clips of Alisah’s performance blew up across YouTube and Facebook. Fans from all over the world — especially from the Philippines 🇵🇭 — flooded the comments with love and pride:
“Alisah, you made every Filipino proud!” 🇵🇭
“Celine would be proud — that note was PERFECT!” 🎶
“She’s not just singing — she’s living the song!” ❤️
Even longtime fans of The X Factor called it one of the best Six Chair Challenge moments ever.
💖 Why Alisah’s Performance Stood Out
