With a voice akin to the greats, Madison Beer was always destined for stardom. Aged just 12 she began uploading covers onto YouTube and quicklybegan amassing a legion of fans. Not long after that she caught the eye of Justin Bieber and the rest is history.

Last night she performed at the O2 AcademyIslington in London as part of her first international tour. It was magical.

'WATCH MADISON BEER'S EPIC 'DEAD' VIDEO HERE...'

Kara Marni warmed up the crowd with ease with her hits 'Golden' and 'Curve' but this was Madison's night.

The entire gig was dedicated to Madison's critically acclaimed EP 'As She Pleases'. The 'Dead' hitmaker has released singles on and off since 2013 but it's with 'As She Pleases' that she's really come into her own as an artist and that couldn't be more clear live.

The 19-year-old popstar opened the set with fan-favourite 'Teenager In Love'. The doo-wop bop could sound saccharine in another singer's hands but Madison captures the sentiment of falling head over heels in love perfectly. Not to mention, it'stailor-made for her voice.

That was about as optimistic as things got though. The track contains the lyric 'don't let me down' and it's pretty clear that, as is the case for far too many people young and old, lovers have let Madison down or in some cases, she's simply grown tired of them.

Madison launched into 'Fools' straight afterwards, a tongue-in-cheek song about a clueless partner who has no idea that she's fallen out of love with them andit was a clear highlight of the night. Only a teenager could carry off a lyric as perfect as "There you go // Getting so overly comfortable, baby // Does it ever cross your mind? // Like oh no, she wants to be in somebody else's photos". Madison performed it using avocoder machine on stage and, as odd as that may sound, she handled it effortlessly.

The evening took a darker turn with 'Say it to My Face'. The dramatic ballad about a lying cheat is striking on record but live it's nothing short of sublime. Not only were Madison's vocals extraordinary but you could tell that she meant every single word of it.

Madison then threw things back with her early singles'Melodies', 'Unbreakable', 'Something Sweet' and 'All for Love'. It couldn't be more obvious how much she's matured since them but they still all go off and the fans in the audience knew them by heart.

One of the most enjoyable parts of the night was seeing Madison's relationship with her fans. Almost all of them were teenage girls like Madison, who have experienced the same things that she sings about. Their admiration of her is One Direction like and you could see that she was visibly moved by their love on stage. 'Tyler Dudden' one of the more low-key songs on the EP really came alive in concert not just because of Madison's delivery but because of the fans' evident appreciation of it too.

As well as her own hits, Madison took time to performcaptivating, personal covers of singles ranging fromLabrinth's 'Jealous' to Radiohead's 'Creep'. Each were reimagined in stunning ways that had the audience in awe. This is why, as fun as it was to see Conor Maynard joinMadison as a surprise guest for a medley of big Top 40 hits, it felt a little out of place in the show. In just six years Madison has grownfrom a YouTuber into an artist and both her and her material are strong enough to stand on their own.

Madison ended the set with the two standout tracks from 'As She Pleases': 'Home with You' and 'Dead'. The duo are brilliant kiss-off anthems that deserve praise not just for their melodiesbut their lyrics as well. 'You say you can't live without me // So why aren't you dead yet?' is perhaps the most savage line of the past year. Naturally, they resonateextremely well with Madison's audience and both were standout moments ina remarkable concert. Madison slayed them.

By the time the night was over, it was clear that this will be the first of many international tours for the rising star.

Madison Beer is just getting started.
