These, they tell us, are the last auditions. Listening to the first bloke that's quite a relief. Everything about him is creepy. His eyes are terrifying and he even strokes Demi's hair which did not go down well at all. Great backing track, though.
Glamour is the name of a pleasant three-girl group that does get through with lots of applause. Another three girls make up Girls United and they go down well too. Demi says they're so pretty it's stupid.
Zac Beacon has a deep voice and is one of the rarer Country guys we've heard.
Wild Thingz are a couple of slightly crazy lads who get through. Santa Clause comes on and sings Stormy Monday Blues and does it very well. He's old but can sing and is through.
Victoria is, I guess, 40 but looks 27 and is in good shape. She seems to be a single mum with 8 kids so goodness knows what the husbands or fathers didn't like about her. She sings Because Of You. You want her to be good. The top notes are a bit tough for her but there is a rawness and real emotion in what she does which makes the rough edges fine. Nice audition. All eight run on at the end and whilst I don't usually like this arranged emotional stuff I thought the way she seemed genuinely surprised when the first one almost collided into her and handled the whole thing quite endearing. I don't expect she'll get that far but well done for what she has achieved today.
Oh dear. 10 years later? That must have been on American Idol, Ah, yes, Simon remembers. The guy was absolutely pathetic then. Kelly and the girls seem to know all the words and are up and dancing and trying to get Simon up to dance too. He does not want to and I can feel for him. What is it about this rap stuff that gets to the girls in the way it does? They even give him a yes. Simon as well. Unbelievable. I guess that he knows he can easily get rid of him at the next round anyway. And, to be fair, the guy was decent enough otherwise, unlike many we've seen.
That's that for auditions. Now for some cuts.
They're looking for 10 from each and I have to type fast as they read the names out to the crowds on the stage. This is so much better than the annoying group thing they used to do. It isn't that brilliant TV, of course, but they push on through pretty quickly and it's a good reminder of who's who as well.
That must have been tough as quite a few talented girls remain.
As suspected, three girls are brought back and three Country guys and three young boys too to make the missing three groups.
So how are the mentors going to be split?
Kelly gets the Over 25s.
Demi gets the Girls
Paulina gets the Boys
Simon gets the Groups
Everyone seems happy. The Groups and the Girls especially so but that might just be because there are lots of girls making lots of noise in both categories!
