We met Brock and Makenna, Josh Krajcik, Drew Ryniewicz, and 4Shore in The X Factor Season 1 Episode 3. The auditions conclude in Newark.
Brian Bradley wants to be better than Jay Z. He starts off his rap by getting into a fake argument with Simon, who calls him arrogant, obnoxious, argumentative, but talented. All the years he was at Def Jam, LA was looking for this kid.
Kelly Warner, Aaron Surgeon, and Liliana Rose Andreano will be joining him.
Not having met anyone in 43 years, Andy Silikovitz hopes this competition will get him a girlfriend. No, lightning will not strike twice. He will not be another Susan Boyle. The audience plays nice at least, but it won’t be a yes.
Clarissa “Cashmere” Cheatham is greeted by a panel that can’t stop giggling, and the giggling only gets worse when she starts singing. Nouf Taraman, Jean Loup Wolfman, and Maya Lehmann continue the ridiculousness.
If Cari Fletcher sounds anything like she looks, she’ll go far. LA tells her she has a star’s name, a star’s face, and a star’s voice. Simon, however, might remember her, but not her voice, though he’ll vote for her along with the others.
Joshua Blaylock, Emily Michalak, and Dorit Yehudai will also be advancing to boot camp.
Austin and Emily are Ausem. Simon thinks the audience they are aiming at will understand them, like the cheering section they have brought with them. LA thinks Austin is a star, though he’s not convinced of the duo. Nicole echoes his comments, and 20 minutes later she finally says yes.
The final hour is the conclusion of the auditions from around the country.
Tora Woloshin loves music and cars. Simon loves her because she has the X factor.
Jor-el Garcia sings Lucky Star by Madonna. This won’t end quickly enough. John Duff, Darlene & Sherone, and Ric White don’t sing or dance any better.
The Stereo Hogzz might have a stupid name, but they sound decent enough. Simon thinks they have overrehearsed. Still good enough to get through, though.
I assume Brennin Hunt spends 2 hours a day on his hair. Going based on voice alone, I’ll make an effort to tolerate him.
Paige Elizabeth Ogle, Leroy Bell, The Brewer Boys, and Nick Dean will be joining him in boot camp.
Devon Talley is possibly the worst singer tonight, which is saying something. He sings a song that goes on for 525,600 minutes, then keeps going.
Jazzlyn Little gets the final audition of the season. She tried uploading a video to Youtube, ending up with about 500 views, which doesn’t surprise Simon seeing as she’s having difficulty selling herself. Then she starts to sing, leading to a standing ovation. Simon calls her the one to watch.
Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of The X Factor Season 1 Episode 5, which airs Wednesday at 8/7c on Fox.
