Aaron's a lucky beggar!

Song: Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay  Check out 'Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay' at Amazon.co.uk (Otis Redding  Check out 'Otis Redding' at Amazon.co.uk)

Aaron's incessant begging wears Sharon's resistance away until she changes her nay to a yay!
After 17 year old Aaron sings a pretty good rendition of "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay" he must feel like he's standing in the dock of the X Factor audition bay.
The judges pass their majority verdict of 2 nays to one yay (Louis'). Like a man condemned to non-x-factordom he pleads for mercy. His pleas are followed by begs which are followed by implorings followed by more pleas.
Simon is his usual impervious self, but Sharon gradually weakens and reverses her decision. "I've said yes, now go home!" she yells, able to take no more of it.
Passion and persistence pays off for Aaron. He's through to Boot Camp and most likely he'll be hoping he doesn't have Simon as his mentor. Maybe he'll sing another Motown classic when he gets there, "Ain't too proud to beg" perhaps!

Simon Cowell:  I'm gonna say no.

Aaron:  Please, can I have another go?

Simon Cowell:  No. Aaron, we've got to say no.

Aaron:  (In disbelief) Is that a 'Yes'?

Louis Walsh:  You're through!

Sharon Osbourne:  Go away Aaron!

Louis Walsh:  You're through.

Sharon Osbourne:  Go away, go on. Yes, go home.

Aaron:  (Walks over to shake Simon and Louis' hand. Wiggles his finger to beg a kiss off Sharon, she playfully wiggles hers at him, before giving him a peck.)

Sharon Osbourne:  Now, go! Go! Be gone! (Simon frustratedly slaps his palm down on the table as Aaron exits.) ... Ohhhh! (Sharon pulls at her hair) All right it's me. Why does everybody beg me?

Louis Walsh:  (Laughing) Because you're easy!

Sharon Osbourne:  (Indignant) Ohhh!

Louis Walsh:  You're a softie. That's the nice thing about you Sharon.
