Loren Allred lent her vocals to “Never Enough” on ‘The Greatest Showman’ soundtrack, but many may not have recognized her as actress Rebecca Ferguson was shown performing the song in the film. Loren finally took center stage on America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League.
On the recent episode of the AGT spinoff, Loren was introduced to the American audience as part of Simon Cowell’s fantasy team after her stint on Britain’s Got Talent in 2022.
Loren’s narrative differed from other AGT contestants, as a significant portion of the audience likely already knew her without realizing it.
After Loren’s performance, Simon addressed his fellow judges, Mel B, Howie Mandel, and Heidi Klum, and unveiled the revelation: “The Greatest Showman is one of my all-time favorite movies, and within it, ‘Never Enough’ is one of my cherished songs. Surprisingly, I discovered that the girl singing the song in the movie wasn’t actually the one providing the vocals; it was, in fact, Loren.”
In her video package, Loren shared her musical background, growing up with two music teacher parents. Despite her love for singing, she was initially too shy to perform in public. At 24, everything changed when she collaborated with the songwriters of The Greatest Showman, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who asked her to sing the demo for “Never Enough.”
Rebecca Ferguson mimed the song in the film, while Loren’s voice featured on the soundtrack, leading to its success on the charts and winning a Grammy. Despite feeling proud, Loren realized people didn’t connect her to the movie’s vocal performance.
To overcome her fears, Loren appeared on Britain’s Got Talent, receiving the Golden Buzzer and reaching the finals. Now on AGT: Fantasy League, with Simon as her mentor, Loren decided to perform “Never Enough” in a “brand-new” way to showcase her vocal range and pursue her dreams.
After a mesmerizing performance, the judges and the audience were captivated. Simon praised Loren for reclaiming her moment, and she earned a spot in the semifinals alongside other Team Simon members. Loren’s courage and talent shone through, proving Simon’s belief in her was well-placed.
Ultimately, Loren’s remarkable journey on AGT demonstrated her resilience and undeniable talent, earning her a chance to pursue her dreams on a larger stage.
