The first episode of ‘The X Factor (UK)’ premiered yesterday on ITV. Featuring judges Kelly Rowland, Louis Walsh, Tulisa Contostavlos and Gary Barlow, this week’s installment focused on the auditions phase of the competition where hopefuls introduced themselves to the world.
Watch the full episode below:
This episode was hilarious! Some of the constants, especially the first duo, were so horrendous that it was impossible not to laugh. Also, the judges had great chemistry and Gary’s cynicism was a worthwhile substitute for Simon Cowell’s legendary remarks.
However, the standout performance of the show came from the club bouncer who sang Stevie Wonder’s ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours’. Although he encountered a few rough moments with the high belting that bore a striking resemblance to Christina Aguilera’s recent shows, his tone and interpretation of the song was excellent.
I’m eager to see what the other contestants have to offer. The US edition of the show is on the horizon so they need to bring it!
I love it! You really get to see their personalities. And watch it Kelly! I see you getting close to Gary, who’s married!
I wonder if Louis Walsh can understand Kelly better than Cheryl.
This is a great episode! I’m looking forward to the rest of the season! Thx for this post Trent!
