Lorde will be 18 in just a few days, so we can imagine she was a pretty good singer in her younger years, but I didn't know a 12-year-old could be this good!

Lorde, a.k.a. Ella Yelich-O’Connor, was discovered in a middle school talent show, but before that she visited a Australia radio show and performed the Kings of Leon song, "Use Somebody," without any music behind her voice. I think I like it better than the original.
