Jackie Thomas takes the stage for the first New Zealand final of talent show The X Factor. In this clip, she delivers a powerful performance of her debut single 'It’s Worth It' in the final round of the competition. The anthemic pop ballad showcases her strong vocals, with a catchy melody that became an instant audience favourite, helping seal her victory as the season's winner. After being eliminated early in the competition, Thomas made a comeback when mentor Daniel Bedingfield campaigned for her return. After the final, 'It's Worth It' soared to number one on the local Top 40 charts, and quickly earned platinum certification.

I still don't think it has sunk in that I won, but I think I am starting to get into the whole flow of it. The album's out and the single is doing really well . . . I have this amazing job which I never thought I would ever get in my whole life and I love the fact that I have an album and a single and it's on the radio.
