There seem to be far more attractive and talented people in the queues and waiting outside than we get to see on stage.
Andrea Faustini

I been dreaming this moment ever since little child. Beats this is all I want to do, I guess.
Plenty of soul in his voice and he hits all the right notes really well. It's just his accent and no-one wearing that shirt should really get far. He's good but he'd be better singing in his own language and, probably, should go for X Factor Italia. Of course, he gets lots of claps and cheers from the audience an the judges will have no choice. So we'll see him at Boot Camp but after that it will be purely as Theatre TV not an attempt to find a new British pop star. I do see him on the Live Shows and doing well with a bundle of Baloney-style support. At least he seems more likeable and talented than either Maloney or Wagner or whoever was the cute Spanish or Portugese kid we had a year or two back on American Idol - Lazaro - with whom he'll get compared.
Rouge Kiss. Six girls who don't really go well together. Seventh Symphony Minus One. They sounded pretty poor but get through despite Simon not liking them.
Overload.
5 cute guys. No no no is their own song. You hope that that isn't a bad omen. Wow. That's no omen that is one definite hit single. Watch the YouTube views for that hit a million or two tomorrow. Great audition. These guys will go a long way. If they don't make the Live Shows then goodness knows how good the others will have to be. They knew what they were doing, had practised and seemed almost too good.
Lottie Lou looks trashy and gets a bad audience reaction and four quick noes. The next girl looks nice but is out of tune and, again, the crowd do the honours,
Some bloke called Stevie Richie comes on. I think the producers had asked the crowd to stay silent as a sort of TV thing as it was just too quiet when he comes on and says Hello everyone or something like that. He's older than average and a bit like a double glazing salesman. A bit of an entertainer but really not someone I want to see on my screen. His tuning is out and even though he gets the crowd going and the judges laughing he is sad sad sad with daddy dancing thrown in. Put him on a cruise ship or a Butlins' stage. Please. Anywhere but on X Factor Live shows. I can even see the judges putting him through but hopefully he'll lose out at Boot Camp.
Kayleigh Manners
Quirky girl in shorts, short hair and nose rings. Cheryl stops her and asks her to do a second choice. It's still a bit weak but there's something appealing about her. She could develop but seems too nervous to me. Cheryl gets the Girls category and I know that there's some controversy at Boot Camp about who goes through. I wonder if it involves her?
Lauren Clarke
Tuneless. Pretty but tuneless.
Several more follow in similar vein
Jay James is an older chap but could be made to look appealing without too much effort. He loves his music and impresses with the Coldplay number Fix You. I can see him being around in this competition for a while as there aren't that many in the Oldies category and he gets a great reaction to this audition, despite its wobbly bits. Interesting guy. Could do very well. Put your bets on now for a Top 4 spot.
If you carried on and watched Xtra Factor then it's 29 minutes in before anything worth watching appears. Abbey or Abi (I don't know which) nearly fails so it may be nearer 32 minutes in but eventually you get to hear her doing something reasonably good. I'm not sure how far she'll get. Cheryl and Simon seem to see something I can't detect by way of talent although she does have a bubbly and confident character. Not bad for a 16 year old.
Joe or Yo Preston
Story of My Life
Nice job and he can work the crowd well and moves around. Vocal ability a bit off but he could do well. He'll be through but I am not sure how he can compete with so many young lads.
We get to see more of Paula but not her singing just as Yo's date.
This is an extraordinarily padded Xtra Factor this week. There is even the new presenter woman and poor old Dermot in some ridiculous competition to wear as many clothes as possible. Weird.
Chloe from Sweden is 20. Not a good audition. Lots of bad notes but, remarkably, she gets through. Gosh.
