There always is the weird contingent to ITV’s X Factor and tomorrow night we can look forward to meeting Fouad, the French, Mariah Carey wannabe.

He tells Dermot:

“I’m Fouad, I’m a catering assistant and waiter, My big inspiration is Mariah Carey. The first time I saw Mariah Carey on TV was when I was 11. Mariah Carey’s voice is incredible because when she sings, I would love to be as successful as Mariah Carey. “

Fouad reveals to the judges that he left France so he could enter the talent show, he then starts singing accapella, and you can barely recognise the song.

Simon: “That was not Vision of Love by Mariah Carey. “

Louis: “It was!”

Simon: “No it wasn’t.”

Fouad: “I would like to sing another song if you want.”

Simon: “I don’t want you to. “

Louis: “What’s your second song?”

Fouad: “I can sing you… Hero if you want?”

Fouad: “Do you want Hero? “

Audience applaud. As he starts singing, the audience stand up and sing along. All the judges are laughing. Simon chokes on his coffee. Has Fouad changed the judges minds and convinced them he’s the next great music talent on The X Factor?
