Belinda Davids has flown the South African flag high and put the city of Port Elizabeth on the global map after she wowed crowds and left judges speechless with her performance on Britain’s Got Talent.
Who is Belinda Davids?
The moment you will witness below has been in the making since Belinda Davids discovered her God-gifted vocal talents. Born in PE, Eastern Cape, Davids dream as a child was to walk in the footsteps of her idol Whitney Houston.
In a biographical piece published by Showtime.net, Davids attributed her love for music to her obsession with Houston’s catalogue.
“The quality and style Whitney portrayed in this song struck a cord and Davids’ fascination with the icon grew. She sang Whitney’s music at every chance: at family gatherings, talent competitions and to friends while playing on the street. Like many young girls at that time, her bedroom walls were plastered with posters and magazine cut-outs Houston.”
