Zoe, the youngest of the bunch
an amazing mere sixteen
full of life and energy
so eager and so keen.

Each week she'd come and strut her stuff
each week they'd say her age
how old she was had nothing to do
with how she performed on stage.

She took great pride in how she looked
her clothes chosen with care
each week courtesy of her mum
she'd have a different style of hair.

Down to the last four, the tension rife
she sang with all her mite
she tried too hard to make it through
the songs she picked weren't right.

The last of the girls to get the axe
you can't say she never tried
she stood there proud of how far she'd come
as Gareth sat and cried.

Are they an item we all wondered
as they hugged at the end of the show
both filled with tears and so upset
neither wanted to let go.

Now seedy Simons snapped her up
and taken her under his wing
so hopefully she'll be a star
this girl was born to sing !
