X Factor

Trevor Moran almost missed his moment on tonight's (Sept. 27) final audition episode of 'X Factor.' The precocious 12-year-old spent much of his time backstage in San Francisco walking around, talking about how much he loves to entertain. He was dancing and generally annoying other people. The drama came into play because he wore himself out and forgot to drink the proper amount of fluids, because the medics had to be called when he passed the heck out. Oops!

The infinitely stylish David Correy auditioned on tonight's (Sept. 26) episode of 'X Factor,' and he was quite the Travie McCoy lookalike, with his beard and tattoos. Before he sang Bruno Mars' 'Just the Way You Are,' he shared his heartwarming reason for coming on the show, which was easily one of the most inspiring tales we've ever heard on a reality singing competition.

We kind of knew Austin Corini was going to be a big deal on 'X Factor' when two young female audience members -- unexpectedly, in the contestant holding room -- went gaga for the 16-year-old.

Arin Ray's face should be familiar to 'X Factor' diehards. He auditioned last season, and while he didn't make it as a solo act, he was placed in Intensity, a 10-member group the producers assembled from castoffs who weren't strong enough on their own. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, right? Intensity made it to the live shows, but they were eventually sent packing.

The familiar face on tonight's 'X Factor' belonged to Sophie Tweed-Simmons -- or make that her father, Gene Simmons of Kiss. Mind you, the pretty 19-year-old made it clear from the very beginning that she wanted to make it on her own, and that's something anyone can respect.

Krysten Colon was a girl gone wild on tonight's (Sept. 20) North Carolina audition episode of 'X Factor.' She sang a more obscure Adele song ('Don't You Remember') but Simon Cowell cut her off and told her to come back with something more classic. She returned later, unwisely performing Whitney Houston's 'I Have Nothing.' She butchered it and was dismissed, and ultimately lost her mind, flicking water at the cameras and throwing chairs, WWE-style.

Up next on 'X Factor' was 36-year-old single dad Jeffrey Gutt. We first met Gutt outside with his son chatting up another father who brought his young son along with him.

Gutt chose to sing Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' during his audition, and man did it tug at our hear

'X Factor' auditions continued as the gang of judges headed down south to Greensboro, N.C. Britney Spears admitted she felt at home there because she's from the south, and the weather was very reminiscent of her home state of Lousiana, but we all know this is the episode where lightning strikes and Spears freaks out, something we're very much looking forward to!

Willie Jones was the first to audition. With a Kid n' Play haircut and dressed in jeans, a jean vest, and a plaid button down hanging around his waist, Demi Lovato said he looked like the fresh Prince of Bel Air, and she was spot on. But as we were waiting for Jones to thrill us with something fast and loud, he opted for 'Your Man' by Josh Turner, a country song.
