Didn't go to the auditions, but there was a pretty interesting band, featuring some dude dressed up as the grim reaper appearing in The X-Factor's Insta-Story.

What was the band called also what kind of a band where they

The name wasn't mentioned in the story, but they looked like a rock-band to me. The story also had an interview with a guy called Melvin Harris, who I presume was an over.

Friend just messaged me, they were there today!

A really emotional audition by a guy called either Aaron wills or Willis

The audience went crazy for him, and the judges explained it was one of the best first auditions they had ever seen

Simon explained it Was of an international standard!

Aaron had a backstory but the judges respected his wishes to not delve into it! Said the original song would tell the story!

Massive standing ovation!

I need to see this audition!

Sang an original

This is him https://youtu.be/R-2IzOsf1Is

Yes that’s him! Here is one of his originals https://youtu.be/XOqKXBg_p4E

I think he could do extremely well this year!

I think people have made people up... benwoodward never auditioned

Can i ask was this Danny also in pop stars the rivals if he was I remember him

Was this guy danny in hearsay

Nah it's not that Danny, the Danny we're talking about was told no by Simon on Pop Idol.

Are you sure? If so that's sad cause I really like him

Someone posted on DigitalSpy that Shanice Smith has auditioned this year and has a real moment. She sung 2 songs The Silence and A Million Dreams

That is correct! And she also goes by the stage name Shan smile! That’s where majority of her videos go under

Another act which has auditioned for the judges at auditions is Lucia Evans from Ireland, she is in the Overs Category - 4 Yeses and one song she auditioned with was Glory by John Legend

They are packing with the Overs this year so many good acts

Also there was a guy Jareth (not gareth) who auditioned, big guy with beard! Very good! Different voice From what usual boys category sounded like. Sang radioactive and then an original

Robbie said he really would love to mentor him. Judges gave him a full standing ovation!

I have a feeling it’s gonna be
Louis:Groups
Simon:Overs
Robbie:Boys
Ayda:Girls

Cara and Charlotte Lynch auditioned as a duo! Fantastic harmonies! Really on point! From London, Louis particularly liked them, Simon wanted them to show a bit more personality in future rounds. 4 yes’s

We’re they sisters and did they audition on the first day?

Naw this was during the last audition round

A sister duo auditioned on the first night got similar response from the judges saying they need more chemistry 1 sister sang the other played keyboard and Drums they sang an original Then they did Havana with Mi gante didn’t catch the name though

There was a guy who I don’t know was in overs or boys. He had a weird name I think it’s calles Searills/Searyls (Irish) certainly sea something. His falsetto was very good! Reminded me of a mixture of mika, boy George and David Bowie. Sang a song called Hurricane, again an original song, very good indeed! Started by singing thinking of you by frank ocean

Goosey Tyson are he only notable group to talk about. Ayda made a very good point, they didn’t come out and try to be like other groups. She said they were their own band, and had a unique identity. Simon said there had never been anyone like them on X factor before. Robbie joked with them about the name of the band, however stated that their sound is fresh in relation to what’s currently in the charts. Louis says they could be the changing force of the groups category for future years, didn’t think a band like them would ever be on X factor. 4 massive yes’s

I have a feeling there will be quite a few made up groups!

Is this by any chance the Charlotte of the duo you watched; https://www.instagram.com/charlottefinch/?hl=en
