leona lewis is a great singer but she seems
to try and sing like mariah carey.
The key is to being a gud solo’ist
is to sing the songs your own way.
not by trying to sing like the original
singer.i recently applied for x factor as i think i have what it takes to get through
the first couple of rounds.
thankyou for
listening to my veiw

thank you this is my one and only chance
December 24th, 2007 at 10:51 pm
I am slightly confused - maybe someone can answer my query.
I am 13 y/o right now, but I will be turning 14 in May 2008. I’ve looked up sign up forms for X Factor, but it says that the auditions are “estimated” to be next April. I have not entered as I have a feeling you have to be 14 by the first audition, although it is not clear. Quite annoyed that I am a month too young, especially as the dates aren’t even confirmed yet.
Anyways, if anyone finds out any better or clearer info, please reply to this post. This is quite important to me as I’d love to audition and I know I can sing.
Luv Laurie

I am only applieing for the x-factor to see what people think of my voice. People ask me non stop to go for it but after leon won i don’t think people have faith in scotland.
There is so many people going for it and wish everyone luck
December 27th, 2007 at 3:11 pm
i am applying for X Factor 2008 because i believe i have a good voice and i want to win it. But i feel if Simon, Sharon, Louie & Dannii says no then im gonna walk out because whats the point arguing? lol

Ive wanted to be on this show for a little while now,
and was going to audition last year,
but couldn’t as i was 3 weeks too young.
i filled all the forms out but my mum and dad wouldn’t sign…
so this year im going to audition, with my grandpa as my escort.
Iv been in many shows and im playing the part “Fantine” in “Les Mis…”
at the Preston Playhouse in April! iv also won a singing competition and since im not that good at English, maths, science, but i can act, play the piano (grade 7) and sing. so i hope to get through (1st audition, and thats all) i would love to get through to the live stage… but i don’t exspect to win! I just want a chance to supprise people of what i can do when i put my mind to it!
thanks for reading, nicola xxx

January 13th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
i really want to try out for the x-factor this year! im 16. bt i cant find a site for Ireland to apply!
pleas comment me back with information
thank you
January 14th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
I’m applying to try and change my family’s lives, we have been stricken with bills and debts we owe to the government over benifets which were rightfully ours, now the only way to get out of this slump is for me to do something extraordinary and compete to win X-Factor.
I also want to change the face of the competition, because i also think the show is incredibly, undeniably STUPID!!! I wont go into detail about my opinion but one of the things is that it’s turned itself into nothing but a Kareoke competition when the whole thing is about putting on a show for the audience, so if i get the chance, i will show the audience something they havent seen in a really long time, a Jack of all trades.
January 14th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
i am applyin for the x factor because the previous talent that was on the 2007 show, were not the best!!! music has been my intire life its all i no, i started in a band when i was very young, then we split up because i did not think there was enough dedication, i then went on to go to college from school where i studyed music tech for three years, where i did alot of production in music and djing, and vocals i meet up with another group were we did the biggist gig we have done at the embassey centre,but i want to be solo i feel that my voice is to distinct to be in a band or group, i am doing this for my family and my self, and if i get in the auditions i will prove i have what it takes.
January 18th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
With reguards to the X factor auditions. Will the X factor be coming to newcastle or sunderland this year.
January 19th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Hiya,
Ive been watching X-Factor now for years and Ive got to admit there has been some exeptional talent. Leona Lewis, Gareth Gates, Will Young are all success in there own rights….
Im applying not because I am good at singing or even good at entertaining but I believe there is something different about me, I have a good voice and attract a croud with my attributes BUT I am not overly confident and dont think I will even get through second round but I will try my hardest and hopefully achieve my dream.
There is alot of people who will think I am utterely useless but I hope to make myself proud and overcome obvious anxiety and nervousness when stood infront of Mr. Simon Cowell, I hope I impress every Judge and audiances at home with my uniuqness.
See you all soon at auditions
January 21st, 2008 at 12:33 pm
i am 19yrs old soon to be 20 all i want to do really is sing i spend most of my time singing and all of you people who think you have a good voice go for you never know if there will be another chanceot do it so go on apply it all for fun not just about winning.
January 21st, 2008 at 12:36 pm
that’s why i am applying for the x factor i have always wanted i have had chance to go before but havn’t been able to afford to go and i am hopeing if i get in this time that i will go no matter what and show everyone that i can sing and that i am good at what i do.

February 12th, 2008 at 12:23 am
I would have entered my Daughter in Law who is excellent but judging by the last series the best singers don’t win, only the Karaoke pretty boys!
February 12th, 2008 at 12:25 am
Cilla I agree I won’t even bother to watch this series after last years travesty.
February 13th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
hi
February 14th, 2008 at 1:53 am
I applied to be on xfactor for the simple reason, I have never been to a proper audition, like this, to find out how good of a singer I actually am. Fair enough when people tell you that you are good but actually being in an xfactor audition and if possible making it to the next round really shows me my abilities. I’m really excited to find out about the auditions, when there taking place. This is really exciting!!! GOOD LUCK…
February 14th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
if you are as curious about the X Factor auditions as you sound, then you should really join up to our forum on forum.unrealitytv.co.uk
We have hundreds of auditionees chatting over there about their experiences of past auditions and sharing details on their upcoming ones.
February 15th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
hiya..im thinkin of entering in 2008 because someone said that that you can audition in Ireland..but when i tried to apply on itv.com site it didn’t have cork or dublin as one of the venues.. but if you send a letter what do you have to put inside it, your adsress and your name or everything that they ask for on the itv site?
please help!!
February 16th, 2008 at 12:38 am
hi,
just wont to say, im auditioning for x factor 2008, because i enjoy singing, i would like to think iv got what it takes 2 win the show, but at the same time it would be gr8 to no where i need to improve, everyone gose on the show thinkin they can win and i dont think thats the right attitude to have, ye if your good n you have conidance then farplay, but dont make out like you are better than everyone else, no one is better, we are all diffrent
so good luck to anyone who is entering, hope you get where you wont to.
February 17th, 2008 at 10:13 pm

February 20th, 2008 at 2:56 am
i really want to apply for Xfactor but my confidence is very low. i no i can sing but doing it infront of people is a different story

February 20th, 2008 at 10:48 am
Have a look over on our forum. We have some great posts written by vocal tutors in relation to this type of auditions.
February 23rd, 2008 at 2:52 pm

i am 16 this year 2008 in april and i really want to go on the x factor but i dont think im good enough and can my voice improve if i practice for next year to go on the show
and laso simon cowell is so wicked but he really makes me nervous when im watching him on tv so im afraid i would mess up in the auditions lol please write back thanks very much
March 20th, 2008 at 2:33 am
I luv the xfactor and luv all the judges. I hope to enter the xfactor some day i cant this year because i am only 13 yrs old and ive been told that i have a good voice so mybe in 2009 i’ll give it a go. I would really want to win it but even if i dont i would still get noticed. I think it would be a great experience it would also make me more confident look at Leon he was so nervous and now hes confident. I’m glad Leon won he deserved to and he is a lil cutie.
March 20th, 2008 at 2:39 am
apparently most of the famous singers are getting pissed off with the xfactor because they dont understand why they had to work so hard to achieve their dream and a show is making people famous over nite and stealing their place in the music charts.
March 25th, 2008 at 4:36 pm

I’ve auditioned for the x factor for the experience.
I’m 15 & I think it’ll be a once in a life time oppurtunity.
The only person who knows i’ve auditioned is my mum cos NO-ONE else knows that I have a passion for singing. I kinda kept it a secret?
Anyway, I was just wondering:
HAS ANY LONDON AUDITIONEES RECIEVED THEIR LETTERS YET?
Thanks x

ive just got my letter back to go on the x factor but i need to get better does anyone now were i can get cheap sining lessons in leicester thanks

April 15th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
I have done the last two shows and got through two rounds the first time but none the second.Just beaware that the first two or three rounds are not in front of the panel but the production team and be aware that the best singers do not always get through.It does undermine the morality of the show when you see people in front of the TV panel who cannot sing an note and you know they have been put through as opposed to better singers becasue they make good tv ratings. So dont be disappointed if you dont get through it does not mean you ahve no ability of or talent.
April 18th, 2008 at 12:32 pm

April 20th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
I went to the auditions in Manchester yesterday, and the whole day was a nightmare. These people treat the public like cattle. Making them wave and cheers for approx 2 hours in the freezing cold, told us to hide our duvets, hoods or umbrellas to make it look like it was summer (it was BALTIC!) and after an 8 hour wait in the cold, some of the best looking/amazing singers were discarded.
Notes to all people auditioning:
You are judged by ONE judge on the first round.
You only make the televised audition 3rd time around.
You will be stood in the cold for at least 6 hours.
Take lessons in being a performing monkey as opposed to singing lessons.
Get your £10 ready for parking (how do you think they make thier money??)
and lastly, harsh as it sounds, if you are fat, ugly, have spots or are a mediocre performer - don’t even bother trying, you WILL NOT get through!! The bad and bizarre ones you see on tv are all paid actors!
April 20th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
i got through the first audition of the xfactorrrrr.. gotta go back tomorrow at 12pm, wish me luck guysssssss. what a awful day today. freezing and waiting around for 9 hours for 25 seconds of audition. but its well worth the wait. good luck to those auditioning
April 20th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
also i didnt have to pay my tenner for the damn carpark. i blagged em i didnt know lol and they let me in freeeee. they have mad over 150.000 quid just on parking fees today as i found out. thats so unfair. hotdogs £3.80 lol. what a rip off. but we got water free lol from the carfone warehouse crew.
April 21st, 2008 at 10:42 pm
what a load of bollox!!! i went for 2nd round and was treated like feckin sheep…. 9 hrs of waiting to get told i didnt have what they wanted. they let nobheads thorugh. who just looked daft and dressed up. that is not the xfactorrrrrr
April 22nd, 2008 at 2:28 pm
X Factor Manchester auditions - more like hypothermia factor. 10 Hrs in baltic freezing, cattlemarket conditions.
Letters, to applicants went unchecked but had advised to arrive for 8am. Some had camped from 3am. Vendor prices were sky high but the Carphone Warehouse greatfully gave out free bottles of water. Queing outside was ok despite feet starting to ache but everyone just wanted inside. BIG MISTAKE!!
Eventually at 11am the doors opened but inside, the stadium was a baltic prison as doors were locked, the temperature dropped and it rained. More camera footage was shoot and brollys were banned being told “its only water”.
Eleven black screens were erected but mostly only 8 tv production assistants(not judges), under large black, witches hat, umbrellas took auditions and twice these were reduced to 4 assistants while they rotated lunch and dinner.
With no legroom, nothing to see or do, nowhere to go except the toilet to stretch legs, boredom rose and by 4pm only a third of the crowd had been auditioned and the toilet hand dryer was becoming a thaw out impliment. Irritability rose, tempers flared as people flagged and became frozen and restless while constantly being told by presenters to stop moving and stay in your seats.
The bars & food stalls were very pricey and then closed at 5pm.
I know singers shouldn’t smoke but many do plus what about the people who are there to support auditionees. Some were going down to the exits to have a smoke but security were on trail screaming “your adults, you should know better, put them out or you will be evicted from the stadium” Some asked at the entrance if they could go outside for a cigarette but were blasted by a security guard “if you go out you stay out”.
10 hours of nervous applicants and supporters all hungry, frozen to the bone, bored and many with nicotine withdrawal the atmosphere was bleak.
As for people being judged, many many great singers were given no’s while clowns and wacky dressers who couldn’t sing for toffee were given yes’s. One fab girl heard by the crowd was given a round of applause when she finised but the production assistant gave her a “no” which caused an uproar from the crowd shouting “let her through” repeatedly. As she left the stadium the crowd thankfully gave her an almighty cheer.
By 5pm many supporters had bailed out and left applicants to face the freezing temperatures on their own. My own support had also gone in a strop saying they wished they’d never come. All very good for the nerves!!
By 6pm we still hadn’t been seen but an assistant moved the applicants further down the stadium to seats which had been empty for hours. WOW those plastic seats were cold on the legs and bum. We hadn’t long sat there, when they moved us again to another row of cold seats.
As a trained singer, temperature and warming the voice is crucial but at this point I couldn’t feel my toes, fingers, top lip or nose and my body was shivering uncontrollably even with three layers, two of which were of a fur lined variety.
Gradually in tens we stood on the stairs of the stadium in a que to be seen.
Singing my body shook uncontrollably with the cold as a cold cutting wind surrounded me and it started to rain again. I was told by the tv assisstant “very good, but I’m afraid today, it’s a no”.
My disgruntled support & I headed to our hotel and even after a hot meal and hot bath 2 hours later we were still cold at the bone. My support went to bed at 10.30pm and we’re still not speaking!
I thought X Factor was about talent not an endurance test.
Britain doesn’t have the weather for outside auditions. Auditions could have been staggered through the day to reduce the waiting time or even if we’d been given our numbers and told to come back in x time.
Alternatively auditions could have been held at one end of the stadium with a large screen erected at the other showing films or something to alleviate boredom and frustration for supporters never mind the applicants.
The production team should stop auditioning and look at their organisation factor.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:53 pm
i went to manchester on saturday to support my sister and it was a complete nightmare they didnt have a clue what they was doing!!we was there for 9 hours in the freezing cold and having to act like idiots and taking our hoods down to make it look like it was summer it was a JOKE!! and as for the judges they havnt got a clu what talent is there was some realy good singers who didnt get through my sister was one of them and she can sing!!it wasnt fair!! and as 4 the judge who was on screen 4 WELL he did not have a clue what he was doing!! it didnt even look like he was listeneing i only saw him let 2 people through the whole day!! he also looked a mess he had an hat on and his hood up there was no way he should have judged!! not even one of the proper judges could be there it was pathetic!

I really love x factor and would love to take part. I am an unfit, ugly guy what do you think my chances are? I think I can sing though.
May 1st, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Does anyone know when the phone calls come to see if you have been called back to audition in front of the real judges??? I auditioned for the 2nd round on the 21st April. I got through. But I don’t know if I got through the 3rd audition yet. I’m worried that they won’t call at all. Can anyone offer some reassurance!
May 1st, 2008 at 10:57 pm
How long before the audition did people get their letters because I’m worried the letters going to come really short notice and possibly clash with my exams :S. The X factor manage to keep us waiting before we even que to audition.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:44 am
yeh i got the phone call to get thru to the 3 rd round. dont worry the producers have got a lot of people to go through.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:53 am

I really really am desperate to enter the X factor
I have the voice of an angel and my whole school
is behind me. I am 15 years old and i always
wanted to act sing and dance in the west end.
My singing teacher says that i have a great voice
and i know that the public would appreciate a boy
who had a tragic birth but a successful life from
then on.
May 7th, 2008 at 10:48 am
good luck to everyone who enters
xxx
May 7th, 2008 at 10:53 am
hi yeah the producers will normally give you a phone call to let you know if you’ve got through to see mr.cowell and the other judges.
good luck everyone.
May 7th, 2008 at 11:56 am
I’m glad I’m not the only one who hasn’t received a letter for the London auditions, I was beginning to think I had missed the boat. Obviously the London ones are being done last. Hope we hear soon tho. Good luck everyone.

Hi to all you wondering, the birmingham auditions are at villa park on sunday 18th by invitation (first come first served) if you survive that you come back on 19th (monday) Hope tht clears it up. I’m going to be there but just in it for a laugh, who knows i might be lucky but i aint pinning my hopes on it. My advice, just chill out and do your best, either you’ll do it or you wont, either way for me its back to work tuesday lol.
May 17th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
I have an audition for the 25th but cant make it. Anyone know who to contract to try and change it to the 26th?

May 18th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Folks, I have been reading previous comments and whilst I would LOVE to have a bash (I’m 42 for god’s sake) I am having second thoughts. I love singing, and have been having lessons, BUT at 42, they clearly want youngsters…. Having seen what others have gone through, and noting that great singers have been rejected but clowns are getting through, I fear it might be a wasted day out. I think I’ll still go but will be absolutely livid if they treat me with contempt when like everyone else we have been waiting for hours for them to brush us aside without even taking much notice.
May 18th, 2008 at 11:57 pm
hi all just wanna say gd luck to everyone going to the auditions this yr and well done if ya all ready got through
