Biography
Some people can apparently sing before they can talk, and chances are that Ella Henderson was one of those lucky people. She developed a passion for singing when she was three years old, and the rest of her childhood was spent performing as much as she could, either to her family every Christmas or at her secondary school Tring Park School for the Performing Arts. She left the school at the age of sixteen, and pretty much directly afterwards auditioned for the 2012 series of The X Factor. She was succesful and became one of the most popular contestants on the show, hailed by presenter Dermot O’Leary as the most talented performers they’d ever had. However, in one of the series’ most shocking moments, she was eliminated halfway through to a mass audience outcry.
Fortunately, the notoriously fickle public were still enamoured with her once she began her singing career in earnest, and she ended up being a much bigger name than anyone else competing against her on that years X Factor. Her first single “Ghost” was a worldwide smash hit, hitting number one with a bullet in the U.K when it was released in June 2014 and enjoying strong showings in charts all over the world. Her debut album “Chapter One” enjoyed similar success, topping the U.K album charts and barely missing the top ten of the Billboard 200, peaking at number 11. She saw in April 2015 supporting Take That on their U.K arena tour, and the sky seems to be very much the limit for her, for that, she comes highly recommended.
Live reviews
It was a huge shock in the UK media when fan and bookies favourite Ella Henderson left the X Factor in fifth place when she was assuringly destined for the final. It would seem the curse of the winner befell James Arthur whilst Ella used the platform successfully to raise her profile without surrendering her creative freedoms to Syco. In doing this she returned in 2014 with an album titled 'Chapter One' and the international hit single 'Ghost'.
It was always noted during the process of X Factor that Ella was one of the most naturally commanding live performers of those on the lineup and she attains this similar confidence tonight as she steps out tonight to open for pop royalty Take That. Performing a selection of material from the debut, the arenas seem to be familiar with the likes of 'Glow' and 'Mirror Man' which further enthuses Ella to throw herself into the performance. When you have a vocal of such soulful power and sheer velocity, your confidence would be rightly internal. Finishing on the huge hit 'Ghost' lifts the spirits of the venue and places Ella in a strong place moving forward in her career.

She's some artist I loved every minute of it she could have sold out in the hydro 10 times over what a voice listened to her album all the way to Glasgow and back after the gig just absolutely amazing couldn't get any better she is right up there with Adele

Ella was absolutely wonderful! She sounds as great as she does on her album. This was a plus since I was a way back and couldn't see her. I can't wait for her new music. I would go see her again for sure.
