SINGER Emmanuel Kelly is dreaming of a recording career after his moving rendition of a classic peace anthem reduced tough X Factor judges to tears.
Emmanual Kelly, who has survived chemical warfare and is the brother of previously conjoined Bangladeshi twins Krishna & Trishna, wowed Ronan Keating, Spice Girl Mel Brown, Natalie Bassingthwaighte * Guy Sebastian, with his heartfelt performance of John Lennon's Imagine on last night's audition show.

Kelly and his brother Ahmed were adopted from Iraq, both suffering limb deficiencies as a result of chemical warfare. They were abandoned at an orphanage and rescued by Children First Foundation boss Moira Kelly."When I got up and started singing there was nothing else, adrenalin just took over, it was just a blur," Kelly said. "I just want to sing and I want to make people happy."
An emotional Keating was full of praise for Kelly who has progressed to the next round of the competition.
"I don't think I have ever, ever been moved as much as I was by that performance," he said.
Kelly auditioned for Australia's Got Talent last year but did not make it on to the show.
