X-Factor auditions can be exceptionally tense to watch; we know some of them will be good, we know some will be bad and we are absolutely blown away when some people perform their audition songs. Here are thirteen of the best X-Factor auditions. 

1. Our very own Mary Byrne.

What a voice!

2. Cher LLoyd

Well, she did get a little annoying during the competition, but we loved her audition.

3. Danyl Johnson

Man, that guy could sing!

4. James Arthur

Raw talent, here you go.

5. Jahmene Douglas

We still feel the need to give this guy a hug.

6. Leona Lewis

They knew they had a star in Leona.

7. Ella

At 16, own song, stunning voice.

8. Lucy Spraggan

Another original song, what a performance.

9. Olly Murs

Just too cute for words.

10. JLS

They were already a boyband when they got there.

11. Craig Colton

He surprised his parent's in the audience... Awww

12. Laura White

She was sick. She sang like this and she was sick.

13. Rhydian Roberts

Was this one of the most weirdest auditions ever?
