An Ethiopian teenager, who wowed audiences with her version of Demi Lovato’s “Stone Cold,” has won X-Factor Israel.
Eden Alene, 17, from Jerusalem, overcame a difficult childhood to enter the competition and win a recording contract.
The singer’s parents divorced when she was two and she was brought up by her single, Orthodox Jewish mother.
During the competition she talked about being ashamed of her origins, but as she grew up, she said she became proud to be Ethiopian.
