Judges' verdict: OUT

Rudi, 19
Rudi wants to be able to perform and entertain people.  On his Dublin audition, it was only Louis and Simon judging.  As he performed Phil Collins 'In The Air Tonight'.  It impressed Louis but not Simon who was disappointed.  But he was sent home...but Rudi felt it was unfair because Sharon wasn't there and that may have made a difference...and so he attends the Glasgow audition and this time Sharon was there.  As he performed, Simon remained with his decision with no all the way, Louis still felt there was a chance and Sharon also saw potential and agreed with Louis.  Rudi finally got through!

Judges' verdict: IN

Chloe, 16
Chloe would do anything to be famous and she loves the lifestyle too!  And for this occasion, she wore a pink dress with matching cowboy hat just for the attention of the judges.  Chloe performed her version of 'Killing Me Softly', but the judges didn't even think she was good enough for the competition. They felt it was over the top and just a fame factor.  And with that, Chloe threw her cowboy hat in protest.

Michael is here at the auditions to see if he has the X Factor and wants to know the answers from the judges themselves!  Despite his performance of 'Mandy', Louis felt it was a decent performance, but Simon didn't see anything in it and he was out (by the way, Sharon wasn't there to judge)...but they did like the hair.

Judges' verdict: OUT

4th Ba5e: Blair, Christian, Daniel, Glenn and Mark
Yes, they are back once again!  The first time it was up to Boot Camp, the second time it was the Judges Homes stage...but this time, they are as ever determined to go all the way!  The guys performed although this time, Simon did not see anything special and said no.  Louis and Sharon still felt there was potential and both said yes.  Third time lucky...but how far?

Very giggly, Thandie got Sharon in fits of laughter with what Thandie was wearing!  Because of this, during the audition, they had to stop to allow Sharon to calm down.  Thandie brought her grandma along to keep calm while she performed, 'I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker'.  Overall, apart from the outfit, all the judges put her through!

Judges' verdict: IN

Judges' verdict: OUT

Nicola
The thing with Nicola is she is a huge Christina Aguilera fan and because of that, she has dressed a little bit like her and even impersonated her in front of the judges.  That was something that they did not like because it was like she wasn't herself.
