Sporting pigtails and a pinafore she may look like a typical ten year-old school girl but when she opens her mouth she transforms into a soul diva.
Cute Natalie Okri's impressive performance on Britain’s Got Talent won over the judges and led to the audience giving her a standing ovation.
But the response from her classmates has been anything but complimentary.
Natalie Okri has revealed she has been bullied because of her performance on Britain's Got Talent
It has emerged her talent has led to jealousy and the tiny singer has confessed she is being bullied at school for ability.
She has told how jealous classmates have attacked and taunted the youngster because of her talent.
Natalie, who lives with her mother and 20-year-old sister Michelle in a small flat in South London, said: ‘There is one girl in my class who makes fun of me because I wear ordinary clothes and she wears fashion stuff.
‘She is the gang leader and there is about six of them who make me cry. But I know I can win and show them all what I can do.’
The tiny singer impressed Simon Cowell and his fellow judges with her rendition of Alicia Keys' No One.
The 10-year-old from south London told the panel she has been singing since the age of four.

She said: 'I sing at home and I sometimes even sing when I am having my dinner. I want to be a singer and a diva and I definitely want to be like Beyonce.'
Natalie quickly won over the audience with her remarkably powerful voice, while even the normally cynical Cowell gushed: ‘I think you are totally and utterly adorable.’
Amanda Holden described the performance: ‘Just knockout brilliant,’ while Piers Morgan enthused: 'You are a very very little girl with a very very big voice, I loved it.'
The youngster, who is estranged from her father, said she wanted to win the competition and £100,000 prize money to buy a new house for her mother and sister.
Her mother Tabeth Mupondihunga confirmed the youngster had been physically and verbally abused since auditioning for the show.

She said the problem had arisen because other girls wanted to audition with Natalie as a girl group, but she wanted to do it alone.
Miss Mupondihunga has raised Natalie and sister Michelle alone for the past seven years, when the girls' father left her for another woman. She said: ‘I will be furious if he tries to get back in touch just because Natalie's on television.’
There is one more audition programme for Britain’s Got Talent, which will air next Saturday before a week of live shows culminating in the grand final on May 30.
Scottish spinster Susan Boyle remains the favourite to win the competition and the chance to entertain the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance this year.
The dowdy 48-year-old, who stunned viewers and judges with her rendition of I Dreamed A Dream from musical Les Miserables, has become an international star.
Her performance on the first episode of this year’s Britain’s Got talent has already been viewed almost 200 million times after it was posted on YouTube.
She has appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s US chat show, which is screened in over 100 countries and has a worldwide audience of over 50 million.
