The stage was silent, and the spotlight shone on Loren Allred as the first notes of “Never Enough” filled the air. When she began to sing, the audience was completely captivated. Known as the voice behind this iconic song from the 2017 movie The Greatest Showman, Loren’s live performance wasn’t just incredible—it was a jaw dropping moment that left everyone stunned.
By stepping into the spotlight herself, Loren delivered a performance that no one would forget. Before this electrifying performance, Loren competed on Britain’s Got Talent where she shared her journey of being the voice for the character Jenny Lind in The Greatest Showman. Her emotional and powerful rendition of “Never Enough” earned her the Golden Buzzer from Amanda Holden, sending her to the semi-finals and cementing her status as a world-class vocalist.

“Never Enough” was written by the talented songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who created other hits from the movie like “A Million Dreams” and “This Is Me.” While actress Rebecca Ferguson played Jenny Lind in the film, she insisted on using Loren’s voice for the song, calling her performance unparalleled.
Loren’s rise to fame wasn’t easy. She was discovered on YouTube by singer Ne-Yo at 19, which led to a record deal with Island Def Jam Music. She later competed on The Voice in 2012 but was eliminated in the first live round. Loren later admitted she hadn’t shared her story with the audience, which may have held her back. But her career soared after The Greatest Showman. “Never Enough” became a hit, reaching number 88 on the Billboard Hot 100, while the film’s soundtrack achieved worldwide success.
