The X Factor Series 7 - The Auditions week 3

DAYS LEFT FOR RELEASE OF JOE McELDERRY'S DEBUT ALBUM: Only 50 days to go! (25th October)


A third-week of auditions may have ended but it has been an eventful-one without a doubt!

Our judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Louis Walsh and guest-judge Natalie Imbruglia continued their search with another set of auditions, in Birmingham and London.

It didn't start-off very-well but meeting brother-duo Twem, who came all-the-way from Paris, really got the audience on their feet with their version of Lady Gaga's 'Just Dance'

Cheryl claimed that they were the Parisian version of John & Edward (aka Jedward.) It was a NO from Simon but Louis and Cheryl's YES's were enough for them to go-through to Bootcamp.

Another act they met was Storm Lee, who came from LA to audition. Having to sing-twice, as Simon had a bit of an opinion about his name. It was a NO from Simon but it was a YES from Natalie, Cheryl and Louis. We'll see more of him in Bootcamp!

The judges met someone familiar in Liam Payne, who reached the Judges' Houses round in the 2008 series but did not go-further on.

His audition of 'Cry Me A River' left everyone gobsmacked that both Simon and Natalie gave him a standing-ovation afterwards.

A clean-sweep of YES's came from all 4-judges, Liam's off to Bootcamp!

Later on, the judges met Cher Lloyd, whose audition of 'Turn My Swag On' was convincing for the judges to put her through to Bootcamp, with Cheryl describing it as her 'favourite audition.'

After a busy-run, they met Abbey & Lisa but their audition ended in chaos after it looked they were having a fight. So it was a NO for them. Not a good-way to end-the-show.
