X Factor, Ep. 2.4: Auditions

Willie Jones--he comes out looking like Will Smith:the fresh prince of bel-air, and then...country music starts playing. Oh the look on Simon's face was classic! And to top it all off the song is Scotty McCreary's audition song: "Baby lock the doors and turn the lights down low..." Haha! Very interesting combination and it wasn't half bad. They liked him a lot more than I did.

Kalvin McManigle--I think there should be a rule: no teeth, no audition! When you got no teeth, there ain't no way we gonna understand ya buddy!

Julia Bolluck--she's very different and original. I like her tone. "Pumped up Kicks" is a tough song to sound good on and not sound corny, and she definitely pulled it off.

Krysten Colon--she's ok, not great. The judges ask her to go pick another somg and come back. I would have just said "no". Attempt #2: still not that strong...there's been many, many better songers. She needs some lessons and then maybe she could come back next year. Scratch that...she also needs an attitude adjustment. If you're going to work in the entertainment indistry, you need to be able to handle rejection.

Jeffrey Gutt--risky choice singing the ever popular "Hallelujah". It starts out a little rough, but he really starts to get some rasp and grit in his voice and he was hitting some high notes. Wow, he even changed the song up to make it original. I LOVED IT! He is truly an artist. That was just beautiful! He sang with a lot of emotion and it was truly touching. And his son is so darn cute!
