![]() The season 17 judges appeared awestruck with her first audition, where Tran sang Jennifer Hudson’s “One Night Only.”Īfter her performance, Tran was met with a standing ovation from the judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan. “Oh my God, my heart almost jumped out,” she said about her nerves from that day. Tran quickly moved through rounds and rounds of preliminary auditions over the following weeks until she made it to the audition in front of the “American Idol” judges. “Me and my dad thought, ‘Yeah, we can just try, we have nothing to lose,’” she said.

But a lot of her talent came from her own practice of singing American songs. She learned how to sing high notes and how to sing with emotion from her vocal coach, Ho Quynh Huong, in Vietnam. Winning that competition, she felt ready to take on “American Idol” with her sights set on a one-way golden ticket to Hollywood. “I was so surprised … it’s the first achievement in my career.” “I didn’t know I’d be able to win ‘X-Factor,’” she said. At just 16 years old, Myra Minh Nhu Tran won season two of “The X-Factor Vietnam.” I know it’s pretty tough and I know that if I want to survive in the music industry, I have to work so hard.”īut she is no stranger to the spotlight. “ changed my mind a lot about the music industry.
