X Factor 2008: Ant And Seb

Earlier this week the X Factor judges each released some questions and answers about this years show, series and acts.

More than one of them mentioned Ant and Seb as one of the most memorable acts they had seen throughout the auditions, and guess what, the pair are featured in the series first show on Saturday night.

I think it’s fair to say that if you don’t laugh at the Welsh boys audition footage then you are 100% lacking in a sense of humour and need to see your GP about a transplant.

The pair are teenage Welsh boys with really bad bum fluff. Whe Simon asks who they compare themselves to Seb states that he is rather like P.Diddy while his pal Ant is very like Usher, he goes on to explain however that when Ant sings solo he also sounds a lot like Rik Astley. How someone can sound like Usher and Rik Astley all at once confuses me a lot!

Ant then launches into a pretty bad rendition of Peter Andre’s hit ‘Mysterious Girl’, which is hard enough on the eardrums before Seb starts dropping in bad rap lines in an even worse Jamacian accent.

Unsurprisingly none of the judges liked Ant and Seb, but would the pair be told? No! They kept singing and pushing until Tony the Great had to escort them out of the audition room.

It is a classic X Factor moment, made better by the fact that Sharon Osbourne wasn’t there to back the boys up and try to put them through to bootcamp for their pure novelty value.
