Hello hello, how are you?
I'm good, how are you?
I'm all right, thank you.
Are you the last to audition here tonight?
I am the last one today
Okay, been a long day right?
It has been a long day, but I'm ready
You know, but this if you ever watch The X Factor before it often goes:
It's the end of a long day and our last contestant ...
Is silently waiting in the wings
Yeah
And you know what happens then
Yeah, it either goes very good or very bad
Yeah, one of the two
So tell me about you
So I'm 21 I went from Billingham and Teesside
I'm a car mechanic
And then obviously I sing a little bit as well
And you live on your own?
I live with my mom
Just me and my mom.
I love that you say mom like me
Yeah, she's my rock, sir
And what are you gonna sing?
I'm gonna sing jealous by labyrinth
And tell me why you've chosen that song
It means a lot to me for a different reason I think to how labyrinth wrote it
Which is?
Lost my best friend a couple years ago
and I kind of interpret the lyrics in a completely different way I
Lost my best friend two years ago. He was only 18 at the time, and we were really really close we did everything together
We got a call saying
We had to go to the hospital because he wasn't gonna last the day
and I know that was tough on Josh
So
The lyrics kind of say
I'm jealous that you're happy without me
And I kind of see it in the sense that I'm jealous that he's now happy in heaven that he's moved on to a better
Place and that I can't still be with him
Well best of luck Josh, thank you
I'm jealous of the rain
that falls upon your skin
It's closer than my hands have been
I'm jealous of the rain
'cause i wish you the best of
All this world could give
and i told you when you left me there's nothing to forgive
But I always thought you'd come back tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It's hard
For me to say I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
i wished you the best of all this world could give
and I told you when you left me there's nothing
to forgive but i always thought you'd come back
Break it's hot
And it's hard for me
You're happy
And
You know what Josh on his seat Wow
That was the most captivated athlete in all the auditions
Very much, and you really touched me I believed every word is done
I can't don't wanna. Love you. I love a hug Alex Nestor. Oh, Sh
Well
Journalist
Josh that really got me right in the heart. I was completely transfixed like I know I didn't want it to end
Thank you
Josh I'm gonna kick this off with very emotional yes
Also you're getting against for me Josh
Yes dresses
Probably isn't proud you're doing proverbs. Oh you did
I don't know today
I'm feeling the pressure because first audition was good last night. I asked you to marry me
Second audition no till you're drunk, and I'll show you
It was a little awkward at times
Yesterday, I messed up so badly and I came off the stage and I was so low in a really bad bad place
Today I want the judges to be able to be like that's what we saw and though I can do it now
I've got my guitar and L can do this and there's no reason why I shouldn't
Hello, Lacey, hello, how are you doing? I'm good how you I'm right better than yesterday
Tell me about picking you songs. How did it go?
I've done a bit of a mix up of some songs that really look like and mean a lot to me
I want to hear one of one of yours. I've got one called tea and toast, but it's a sad song
It sounds good go for it
Okay, so this song's about a real couple that I saw so yeah
Tom was born in 1942 with eyes of blue and the doctor said his birth was far too fast
His heart stopped twice, but yet he survived as he took his first breath his mother took her last
And he rarely spoke about her, but when he did he said your mother used to say this
When the skies aleut kimbap my dear and your hearts lost all his home after dawn there will be sunshine and
All the dust will go
The skies will clear my darling I wake up with the one I love the most and in the morning. I'll make you up
Some giant oats
Well they met through a friend who introduced salmon the first thing Tom said was would you like to dance
But two quick years I went by there were side by side
And without a plan they can see the little child
The little girl girlfriend so this day they said that they love each other every day, I'm 40 years later
That brings us to now
And as in walking down the street her grip loosens on his hand puts her arm around a side as she falls to the ground
He hears her breathing
And he sitting by a bed in the hospital warden that daughter walks in with the family of her own
She says that I don't know she can hear you now, but there's one thing mom would want you to know
When the skies are looking pop my dear and your hearts lost all its hope after dawn there will be sunshine and
All the dust will go
The skies will clean my nothing now. It's time for you to let go I gonna wake you up in the morning
With some tea on toast
That song is so good
For it's every bar he's a total
It's huge before without a dynamo down
When you hear Christian
Been singing you know on and off flat as a little child, but couple years back went to an Ed Sheeran gig
Yeah, I saw him just standing there on the stage just with his guitar
I just wanted to be that I wanted to be him and do what he's doing, but you know with him
It's all about the songs. You know that I mean I write songs myself, so could we hear one of your songs?
You can yeah
I've got I've got a
Song I wrote for my brother who passed away when I was when I was on the young
And it's just a song that you know means everything to me and only only my mum has ever heard it so
Do you want to perform it I?
Can do I feel like I'm ready it's entirely your choice Christian
I feel like I'm ready to be sure yeah, all right take your time
Good
I
Would do anything just to be 2 years old you can
Imagine what we could have done
By June wahoo we could have been making paper planes till the Sun Goes Down
nothing holding your hand this you squeezing onto my
Hold on time you should never let go
Remember building castles also fold ah go just to knock him down. She's changed. No. You're not you're out
I'm not the same
But I hope you proud I wish a little face was still around with that cheesy smile and then little chubby cheeks
imagine all the mischief we get up to
Imagine noise tag team one plus two
Imagine all the good bats and happy times
Imagine all the time out know each step cries stay here play watch TV
We couldn't watch we go to school break the rules play hopscotch
And climb trees chase bees just backed up and fire fire fire fire
Over brothers stuff and sneaker they play football till the Sun Goes my Thunder, buddy
I will keep you safe as she goes off to sleep bad boys and counting sheep off to sleep night night
Baby, brother sleep until we meet again
Stay safe my friend
And I will keep you in my thoughts to the very end
My little Charlie choppy in the sky with a smile my lettuce on the body. I will see you in
Sorry little rainy but stars come out to play oh, I miss you
I want to be with you my friends. Just wish we could be together
