In 2013 when a young Dami Im performed Purple Rain it arguably secured her the win for The X Factor season and changed her career.
Three years later when Prince died it was in the same week that Dami Im was artist in residence all week on The Morning Show. Little did she know that she would be singing it again in much different circumstances at short notice.
As Purple Rain marks its 40th anniversary here is that original performance.

What a wonderful performer. From memory I think she was voted off and then brought back on for some reason and ended up winning the whole thing? Still a travesty that she didn’t win Eurovision too in my opinion,
No she was safe every week then won.
It was annoying me so I checked it out and it was in the round before they picked who was going to US. She forgot the words to Jolene so they dropped her from the comp but then someone pulled out that was going so Dami got a recall to the competition. It was always meant to be thank heavens.
Good stuff.
She didn’t make the cut the first time , and was brought back to replace somebody who pulled out before live shows .
