Semaema Cornford enthralled the Australian public on Tuesday night at the popular X Factor Australia show with her powerful rendition of the U2 and Mary J Blige song 'One'.
But it is the story of young woman who was brought up in Rakiraki and Raiwaqa that the Australians have fallen in love with from the moment she first auditioned for the X Factor some weeks back.
The judges of the X Factor, like Irish singer Ronan Keating, also formerly of the Boyzone ,commended Semaema for her bravery while Spice Girls' Mel B says Sema does not realise how special she is. Guy Sebastian was just blown away by her performance.
Semaema Grace Conford Lesianawai is 26 years-old and has a life-threatening kidney disease that could stand in the way between her and a very promising musical career.
After she appeared before the X Factor Australia show on Tuesday night, she gave Sunday Times this interview.
