Mario does the lengthy intro and we have to smile at the rather sad colour text overlays on the screen, Something from the 80s!
Melanie has a voice that simply has to be Country. She is a little older than average and you hope she'll be good. Titanium was not what we expected. Nor was the rubbish voice. Move on.
I don't expect much now from the Ukraine woman. Didn't get much other than a painful ear. Lots more I cannot be bothered to mention. Finally Emery comes along and seems pretty cool and capable. Do I hear boy band? He sings pretty well and there's something there. People will like him and he could easily get a big fan following. Seems a decent guy who could work out well with a bit of training here and there.
Next a girl who will be good. You just feel that she will be. 15 year old Khaya Cohen sings a boring song and not very well. Luckily for her, Simon says so. She has a second song. Ha! This will be better! I Put A Spell On You is a great tune and she fares a lot better all right. I think the judges were well over the top but hopefully that'll keep the girl coming. She could be entertaining.
Hilarious bit about an anteater!
Now James Kenney. The Overs are pretty sparse this year and he would be a worthwhile addition. He looks nice and sounds pretty good too. He made it to Judges' Houses in Season 1. Summertime is another really cool classic and he can do it justice. Great appreciation from the crowd. The girls certainly love him and he'll make it through again. In fact with so few good Overs so far appearing this Season he may well be on our screens longer than just to Boot Camp and Judges' Houses.
Cue cute daughters on stage to say well done to daddy. Well, wouldn't you know - that's exactly what happened.
Isaac Tauaefa is a football player who can sort of sing. Chase Goehring is much better and writes his own tracks. Alison Davis has a very short T shirt. Iasabel Requena sounds similar. Isiaiah Allston too and he's a boy. The two girls also go through.
David Gray is a bit odd. He is all romantic and we learn eventually that he is there so he can propose to the next contestant, Lauren Waguespack. Now she can sing reasonably but doesn't get through. She does get proposed to on stage in front of x million viewers, though, which can't be bad.
Tim Oldstead isn't helped by the three girls asking dumb questions of an already nervous guy. He actually sings well and does well to get over his nerves. Good singer. Deserves a break. He's up against some very tough competition here but the publicity should help him immensely even if he doesn't get much further than Boot Camp. I am constantly surprised by Demi's professionalism as she managed to build in an apology for the dumb questions and reviewed his performance really succinctly and with great grammar and continuity. She's smart.
Wesley loves Kelly. Whether that helps his singing remains to be seen. Quite an embarrassing moment when he gets all hot and bothered but eventually he moves back to the stage and there is something about his style that is quite good. To be honest, he'd be better if he wasn't so worked up but that was a good effort. Demi is so spot-on when she calls him creepy. He had better behave less creepily next.
Celine Polenghi is confident at 16. Difficult song. she didn't perform it well but the judges clearly see something special there.
Bree Randall is cute. She is confident and has a great stage presence and attitude. A lovely looking girl who can perform. Nice.
Primrose Martin purs a lot of effort into a Jesse James number and gets another set of four yesses.
Summer Reign looks cool and sings reasonably well but has lots of stage presence and glamour that will carry her through in one way or another. There are a lot of girls doing well.
Ricky Clark Jnr does the Usher look. He is also in love with Kelly but not as creepily as the previous guy. Slightly off-key but he has a good way of performing and appeals to the crowd. Simon is right about his voice and the girls also disappoint him. Looks like he was not expecting that. Kelly did a cool job comforting and guiding him. Quite impressed with that.
Lorie Moore is a professional footballer. We've had a few people from the sports world this time. She is a good singer. Not sure she has any X factor but deserves to get through as much as many who have already.
This has been a very average set of auditions and none strike me as potential winners. We'll see some in the Live Shows and perhaps they'll spring to life or find something special between now and then. Hope so.
A strange couple. Second Hand High is a duo. The girl talks a lot. The song goes well and gets quite a few people up on their feet, including Kelly. I can see that being a hit. The duo were rubbish but they can write for sure.
This week's show ends with a clever mock-up of Kelly, Demi and even Simon performing the track.
