Watch amazing Hamilton cover on The Voice Kids UK

A 13-year-old brought a taste of Hamilton to The Voice Kids on ITV on Saturday night.

Gracie told cameras she had dreams of making it on the West End before singing on the show.

“I sing 24/7,” she said on the ITV series. “My dream is to be on the West End. I have the most supportive family in the world. It might be hard to shut them up.”

Gracie from Wigan performed It’s Quiet Uptown from Hamilton for coaches Jessie J, Will.i.am, Danny Jones and Pixie Lott.

Despite the incredible performance, Gracie shockingly didn’t get any spins from the coaches with just a few spaces left on the teams.

Pixie commented: “That was crazy. Your voice is really great.”

Danny added: “To hold it altogether right through to the end of that performance. That’s an amazing thing.”

Jessie J commented: “I think for us, it’s really hard. We’re all over thinking and over analysing.”

Will.i.am later remarked: “I didn’t turn because I messed up. She was so good I was too in the clouds, sometimes you just let things go.”

“I really hope Gracie comes back next year,” added Jessie.

Gracie’s performance wasn’t the only taste of musical theatre on The Voice Kids this weekend, with 11-year-old Chloe singing She Used To Be Mine from Waitress.

Her audition got a better outcome, with Pixie turning for the youngster.
