One of the most impressive auditions on the X Factor tonight was from a South Shields barman called Aidan Martin who took a risk and sang his own original song about breaking up with somebody.
It gave Sharon Osbourne the water works and she said: "It was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. It was just perfect."
Nicole Scherzinger said he was: "That song was so revealing and vulnerable and that takes the most strength and the most courage. Not a joke but a force to be reckoned with."
Even Simon said: "It was a very special audition." The man got four yeses from the panel.
Former hotel worker Bukky Shittu gave her rendition of Whitney Houston's I'm Every Woman but was not so successful. Simon Cowell gave her a yes, but the other judges were not as impressed.
One contestant flew in from Anguilla thanks to fundraising on the Caribbean island and sang Whitney Houston's I have Nothing.
The judges thanked her for coming and told her "You're a class act." Nicole said that she was: "a beam of light," saying "you took those balls and you bounced them off the walls"
Another happy contestant with four yeses.
Anguilla was only down the road in comparison to one band JBK which flew from the Philippines singing Sam Smith's Lay me Down.
Elysa V was another person who travelled all the way from Sydney to sing Fleur East's Sax.
Luckily all the contestants who travelled from far away made the cut.
One teenager who works in Iceland (the supermarket) attended the audition in Bristol with his mother and he sang Elton John's Your Song.
Louis Walsh said: "You gave it everything, it was like you were in your own little world," another contestant with four yeses.
There was a family group called The Cutkelvins performed Runnin' (Lose It All) by Beyonce featuring Naughty Boy to praise from the panel, while
Osbourne advised singer Shereen she should take centre stage.
Cowell compared the audition to when he first saw the Black Eyed Peas, saying: "It was odd but it worked, I hope you end up working with me on this show," as the group sailed on to bootcamp.
The X Factor continues on ITV next Saturday at 8pm.
