When Loren, a vocalist, took the stage on America’s Got Talent, the audience had no idea they were about to see history.
She revealed her secret.
Loren Allred not only sang on America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League, but she also astonished the audience. The Pittsburgh native’s amazing version of “Never Enough” from The Greatest Showman left the audience awestruck.
But the real shocker? Loren claimed that she was the powerful voice behind the original song, which is one of the most successful recordings of all time.
Loren’s voice was heard around the world for years, but her face remained unknown. It wasn’t until she mustered the confidence to compete on Britain’s Got Talent that the world finally saw the lady behind the platinum-selling single. That bold decision paid off, winning her a standing ovation and Amanda Holden’s Golden Buzzer, propelling her into the semi-finals.
Simon Cowell said, “You sang one of the biggest songs of all time.” Why didn’t you get that much attention following the song?” Allred responded, “I was more comfortable singing behind the scenes. But I feel like the song was written for me, and I’m ready to put a face to it. So I’m here to do it.”
The song became an anthem.
Loren’s path to prominence has not been straightforward. She participated on Season 3 of America’s Got Talent in 2012, but was eliminated early. She later realized that she hadn’t conveyed enough of her own experience, which is what helps performers connect with their audiences. But fate had different intentions.
In 2017, her voice was chosen to bring to life “Never Enough” in The Greatest Showman, which was initially intended to be sung by actress Rebecca Ferguson. Even Rebecca recognized Loren’s exceptional performance, and the song became an anthem of passion and power.
Loren’s talent drew the attention of several music luminaries. Michael Bublé discovered her after understanding that the magnificent vocals in The Greatest Showman were Loren’s, not Rebecca’s. He invited her to do a duet on “Help Me Make It Through The Night” from his album Love. In 2021, she will tour the United States with the renowned Andrea Bocelli, demonstrating her varied artistry alongside one of our time’s finest tenors.
Loren is both a vocalist and a songwriter. In 2021, she published her debut album, Late Bloomer, a touching compilation that depicts her personal path, with songs like “This Summer” serving as anthems for anyone who has ever felt a little lost.
Loren Allred, 35, is finally getting the recognition she deserves. Her narrative is about resilience, skill, and the fortitude to walk out of the shadows. If you’re as hooked as we are, follow her adventure on YouTube or her official Facebook page—because Loren Allred is only getting started.
