Stacy Francis, a 42-year-old single mother of two, has never had a chance to follow her singing goals. <\/p>\n

She has a 3-year-old and a 5-month-old, and she has struggled to juggle the obligations of parenthood with her desire to pursue her love. <\/p>\n

She admitted that trying to sing while raising two children had been incredibly challenging. \u2018My babies are sleeping late at night.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So I close the bathroom doors, enter, and start singing along to Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, or Celine Dion. <\/p>\n

She also experienced confidence issues as a result of her awful, violent relationship. She said, \u2018I just lost faith in myself.\u2019<\/p>\n

But Stacy is now prepared to pursue her goal! She made the decision to perform Aretha Franklin’s \u2018Natural Woman\u2019 at her audition. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And what a fantastic act she puts on! Stacy receives a standing ovation from everyone in the theater after her song. <\/p>\n

One of the judges says, \u2018I was absolutely and utterly swept away with every single word you sang.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018And I could tell that everyone in the room wanted you to win. You just won, too. You are fantastic. <\/p>\n

While Stacy is listening to the encouraging words from the judges, she is overcome with emotion and has tears streaming down her cheeks. <\/p>\n

\u2018Stacy, let me tell you something. Simon Cowell declares, \u2018I’ve been doing this for a very long time. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2018I have never heard a better audition in my life,\u2019 I said. You didn’t just sing it; you had faith in it. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! I cherish you. <\/p>\n

Stacy is overjoyed as the judges give her four yeses! What a wonderful opportunity for her to have!<\/p>\n
