Onesie Auditions

  Last weekend saw the launch of this year's X Factor. Simon Cowell was joined by fellow judges, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Mel B and Louis Walsh This is the 11th series for the UK Talent Show, that started back in 2004. There are 4 stages; Stage 1: Producers' auditions (these auditions are un-televised, and decide who will sing in front of the judges) Stage 2: Judges' auditions (either arena or audition room) Stage 3: Bootcamp Stage 4: Judges' houses (The contestants have now been split into groups; Girls, Boys, Over 25's, and Groups, and have been assigned to a certain judge). Stage 5: Live shows (final) To celebrate the launch of the 11th series, we've been thinking of our most memorable X Factor auditions; 1- Number 1 has to be Leona Lewis! Her cover of Over the Rainbow was absolutely stunning! Leona went on to win the X Factor in 2006. 2 - Singing one of our all time favourites As Long As You Love Me by The Backstreet Boys, Jedward made an impression on everyone. Just like Marmite - whether you loved them or hated them, everybody knew about them. 3 - Sam Bailey, last years winner, blew us away with her audition, belting out Beyonce's Listen. 4 - Ella Henderson made an impression on the judges with her own original song. Although she didn't win, Ella released her debut single Ghost on June 8th, which reached number 1! 5 - Of course we couldn't forget One Direction! Although the boys, Louis, Harry, Zayn, Liam and Niall, all audition separately, the decision was made to form the boys into a boyband - and what a fabulous decision it was! Again, the boys didn't win, but they have become the WORLD's biggest boyband!In the four years One Direction have been around, the boys have released 4 studio albums, won 19 awards, preparing for their 6th tour, and their debut, number 1 single' What Makes you Beautiful' sold 5 million copies! Did you know that as of June 2014, a total of 35 number-one singles have been achieved by artists who have appeared on the show, including Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, JLS, Olly Murs, Cher Lloyd, One Direction and Little Mix! We're so pleased to see the X Factor back on our screens - one our of most favourite things to do is to curl up on the sofa watching the X Factor in ourOnesies!
