After playing one of the first LP records she owned, a song called \u201cHold Me\u201d by Teddy Pendergrass and Whitney Houston resonated with her and so began her fascination with her idol, Whitney Houston. <\/em>At 14 years of age, she joined a band and started singing in clubs where people remarked on how similar her voice was to that of Houston.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

She has performed on some of the world\u2019s biggest stages and gets to live her dream of singing songs of her childhood icon, but few know that when Belinda Davids steps into her home, she enjoys kicking off her shoes and being a mom to her two children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davids performed \u201cThe Greatest Love of All \u2013 a Tribute to Whitney Houston\u201d at the Grand Arena at GrandWest on Saturday 2 December. This was her last performance in South Africa before heading back overseas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People\u2019s Post<\/em><\/span> had a sit-down with Davids at the Table Bay Hotel on Tuesday 28 November. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davids says returning to the Mother City after being abroad is always heartwarming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always good to be home. I love walking around barefoot. It was nice to get off the plane and see my people. The first thing I do when I return home from a long trip abroad, I hug my kids and become mom.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davids explains that while she loves that she gets to live her dream, being away from her children is challenging. But she adds that she keeps in touch with them regularly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTechnology is amazing these days. It allows me to call them whenever I want to.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After playing one of the first LP records she owned, a song called \u201cHold Me\u201d by Teddy Pendergrass and Whitney Houston resonated with her and so began her fascination with her idol, Whitney Houston. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 14 years of age, she joined a band and started singing in clubs where people remarked on how similar her voice was to that of Houston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today, the 47-year-old has performed on national and international stages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, she entered the Britain\u2019s Got Talent<\/span> (BGT<\/span>) competition singing Houston\u2019s \u201cOne Moment in Time\u201d. She went through to the semi-finals; but unfortunately, did not make the finals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Britain\u2019s Got Talent,<\/span> she participated in the BBC\u2019s Even Better Than the Real Thing<\/span>, where she won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about her BGT<\/span> performance, she says: \u201cIt happened when the world just went into lockdown. That was an incredible experience to just be there and experience the first-ever virtual audience. I was nervous, not because it was BGT<\/span>, but because I was representing something much bigger than me, that was special.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davids explains that her favourite Houston song is \u201cGreatest Love of All\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat song is a full-circle moment for me from the first time I did it in primary school to the time when I performed on the same stage Whitney performed \u2018Greatest Love of All\u2019 at the Apollo Theatre. Every time I perform it on stage, I go through all those moments.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mother of two has opened for many international acts performing in South Africa including Michael Jackson\u2019s History Tour, The Manhattans, The Temptations and Peaches and Herbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She explains that getting to live her dream still feels surreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was in Paris, and it was a sold-out show at the Salle Pleyel. It\u2019s a historical venue and we sold it out. I went live on TikTok, and I had a moment and got emotional because never did I think that I would be in Paris in places that you see on TV only.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davids explains while she still gets nervous, she uses it to her advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I get to perform in new places, I get nervous. But it\u2019s good nerves, nerves that you used to make your performance just a little better.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The star explains that she still has a few plans this year before the year ends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing a New Year\u2019s message Davids says: \u201cBe better for yourself. Be more kind, do more for yourself and take care of yourself.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
