X-Factor 2011: Auditions (Week 1)

Published: Saturday 20th Aug 2011 by David

The X-Factor 2011 kicked off in spectacular form tonight. Unsurprisingly, with this being the audition phase, the talented and talent-challenged came out in equal measure for a crack at progressing to the next stage. Judging the hopefuls are new additions Kelly Rowland, Tulisa Costastavlos, Gary Barlow and original panelist Louis Walsh.

{For those unfamiliar with The X Factor, the show is the UK’s version of American Idol – with a twist in that groups and over 25’s are eligible to enter. Now in it’s sixth season, the show is responsible for birthing the careers of Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, Cher Lloyd and JLS. Its US incarnation is set to launch next month}.
Best and worst of this week’s auditions below…

    Frankie and Janet were amazing, but I hope they are more than just likable and funny/adorable kids. Kitty was great and powerful, but she kinda reminded me of Katie Waissel and that’s not a good thing.

  29. Media W**** August 20, 2011

    Eww none of these people can sing.
    American Singers(Minus Jessie J,Celine,Charice)>Everybody else!!!!

  30. Dance August 20, 2011

    The judges are all trying to be TOO TOUGH and are

    I can see the ratings of the show going down.

    There is too much fakeness and acting going on from the part of the judges.

  31. Dance August 20, 2011

    JANET DEVLIN WAS BY FAR MY FAVORITE…..THAT GIRL CAN SAAANG

    This Tulisa chick is the “FAKEST” judge I have ever seen…the b**** is just acting way too tough…..she’s so so so fake and way too over the top with her emotions……

  32. Dance August 20, 2011

    What song was Janel Devlin singing?????……….PLEASE HELP! ……………………….LMAO

    S/N: My favorite judge is the younger male judge because he doesn’t seem to be overacting for the cameras……It seems like he’s just being himself………The others are just OVER-ACTING …..especially that Tulisa or whatever her name is.

  33. Holla August 21, 2011

    It looks like it’s going to be a pretty good season. My girl Kelly was gorgeous as usual, and she did a great job as a judge!

  34. GREG August 21, 2011

    I like Kelly….great personality
