FOUR-YEAR-OLD Phoebe Taylor's powerful performance of a song from Disney's Frozen has melted the hearts of the Post's judges.
Dressed as Elsa, the main character in the hit animated film, the budding singer belted out Let It Go as her mum recorded her on her mobile phone.
The rendition was enough to win the Post's competition, which asked readers to send in videos of their performances of Frozen musical numbers, with a top prize of £50 of Disney store vouchers up for grabs.
Talented singer Phoebe said she would spend her prize money on "a lollipop, a princess dress and a teddy."
"I'm really happy," she said.
"The Let It Go song is my favourite. I love singing. I sing in mummy's car."
The youngster heard she had won when her mum Kate Taylor, 32, picked her up from Secret Garden Day Nursery in West Bridgford yesterday.
"All her friends were really excited for her and gave her lots of hugs," said Mrs Taylor, of Swindale Close, West Bridgford.
Mrs Taylor, a singer with the Nottingham Operatic Society, said she was extremely proud of Phoebe, who could be following in her footsteps as a singer.
"She loves singing. I sing quite a bit in musical theatre in Nottingham so she has grown up singing," she said.
"She's got a very powerful voice and she stays in tune so it's really nice for me to hear her sing like that."
The Post launched the competition after revealing that a video of nine-year-olds Millen Davies and Mairead Morrissey, of Arnold, singing Let It Go, would be screened on the X-Factor last weekend. They responded to a request from producers of the show to send in video clips of themselves singing to be featured before performers took to the stage.
Frozen, released last year, was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Snow Queen and tells the story of a princess who sets off to find her estranged sister, whose powers have trapped the kingdom in a constant winter.
The Post's editor Mike Sassi said all of the entries to the competition were a high standard and it was difficult to choose a winner.
"We are delighted to see the breadth of talent in Nottingham and show our support. Let's hope we have unearthed a star of the future and Phoebe goes on to great things," he said.
