It’s not every day that a voice breaks through the ordinary noise and reaches straight to the soul, but Tara Jamieson’s rendition of Adele’s ‘One and Only’ was one of those rare moments. This woman’s stunning cover of Adele’s hit captivated the audience and the judges on ‘Ireland’s Got Talent.’ Before she stunned us with her voice, she answered questions about what dreams carried her so very far from home. Tara dreamed of becoming a singer even though this Canadian girl was in medical school studying to become a pediatrician. Either way, she carried her dreams from her heart to the stage. 

Sitting at the piano, the stage lights softly lit up around her but it was her God-given gift that lit up the room. With each note, she wove together her beautiful vocal talent and Adele’s song as if offering it as a prayer to the heavens. 

‘I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
I promise I'm worthy
To hold in your arms
So come on and give me the chance’

Her moment on stage carried raw emotion and the tender grace that comes when we’re brave enough to pour ourselves out completely. As she sang, the audience couldn’t help but rise to their feet, carried by the current of something bigger than the music itself. 

Judge Louis Walsh called it “the perfect audition, praising Tara’s tone, control, and stage presence.” Her audition wasn’t about how well she could sing, and it was about reminding us all that when we step into our gifts with courage, we reflect the beauty of the One who created us. Her song was a living, breathing echo of hope, a reminder that music and courage have the power to connect us in ways that words alone cannot.

So many of us carry songs within, hidden beneath layers of doubt and fear. Tara’s performance calls us to step up to the piano of our own lives, press the keys, and trust the melody God placed in us. Because when we let His music flow through us, it becomes something that leaves the world just a little more in awe.

Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
