X Factor 2011: James Michael & Emma Wright impress the judges

James Michael and Emma Wright were briefly featured on tonight’s X Factor show, and thankfully for them, they weren’t among the rubbish joke acts.

Both performers impressed the judges with their auditions pieces, and both won a place in the London bootcamp stage.

James took to the stage first and sang Adele’s popular song ‘Make You Feel My Love.’

Afterwards Gary Barlow raved:

Amazing voice! Totally unique! I think you’re a recording artist waiting to be recorded! Well done, yes from me!

Tulisa Contostavlos added:

I loved it, I thought that was a wicked audition, it’s a yes from me.

Emma, 19, Blackpool also sang her way to succubus, when she performed Christina Aguilera’s Ain’t No Other Man.

After her song, N-Dubz’s Tulisa enthused:

It was a brilliant audition, you have amazing potential, you’re a little pop star, I’m going to say yes.

    Although I loved Jmes, I don’t think he’s totally unique- He both looks and sounds a little like Paolo Nutini?
