MUST SEE: 12-Year-Old Girl Will Knock You Off Your Feet With Whitney Houston’s ‘I Have Nothing’ (WATCH)

Whoa. Chills. Literally, we’re speechless after this performance. How a 12-year-old girl can have that voice is beyond us, but here’s living proof in the form of British schoolgirl Maia Gough. Let’s just say she successfully blows away the Britain’s Got Talent judges and audience and everyone watching from the comfort of home with her rendition of Whitney Houston’sI Have Nothing“.

I Have Nothing” was released in 1993 on The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album. The song expresses a strong love and commitment to one’s lover. 

The music starts and the judges are as always, skeptical, but when she opens her mouth, Maia stuns them. When the chorus hits, even the biggest critic of all, Simon, has a smile on his face. Young Maia really makes the power ballad her own, belting out the lyrics and high notes like its an everyday occurrence.

She definitely has a future in music if she keeps that up. Bravo, Maia.

I HAVE NOTHING LYRICS

Share my life, take me for what I am
‘Cause I’ll never change all my colours for you
Take my love, I’ll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do

I don’t really need to look very much further
I don’t wanna have to go where you don’t follow
I won’t hold it back again, this passion inside
Can’t run from myself
There’s nowhere to hide

Don’t make me close one more door
I don’t wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don’t walk away from me…
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don’t have you, you, you, you, you.

You see through right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love
I never knew love like I’ve known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to

I don’t really need to look very much further
I don’t wanna have to go where you don’t follow
I won’t hold it back again, this passion inside
I can’t run from myself
There’s nowhere to hide
Your love I’ll remember forever

Don’t make me close one more door
I don’t wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don’t walk away from me…
I have nothing, nothing, nothing…

Don’t make me close one more door
I don’t wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don’t walk away from me, no.
Don’t walk away from me
Don’t you dare walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don’t have you, you,
If I don’t have you, oh, ooh, ooh.
