There's only one judge, according to Onkar, but it's still the jury that calls the verdict!
Onkar Judge tells the panel he's right up there with Michael Jackson, Daniel Bedingfield and George Michael. Unfortunately his whiny, nasal audition rendition of Jackson's Earth Song tell them something entirely different!
He also rates himself as a dancer and he certainly makes some memorable moves. First he does a backwards sprint into the set wall which nearly dismantles the entire studio! The next minute he crashes his knees down onto the wooden floor. "Wow, that's got to hurt" says Sharon. "No, it doesn't hurt" insists Onkar, screwing up his face in agony!
The four nos seem kind of inevitable by this stage but obviously not inevitable to Onkar. Outside the audition room he rants, "Don't judge the judge, please, cos there is only one judge. Because my name is Mr Onkar Judge."

Panel-Bites:

Onkar speaks before his audition...

Onkar: This means a lot to me today. I've never felt my heart pounding this strongly. Thinking, will I do it or won't I do it? I want them to see the entertainer in me, the dancer. Like some of the world already sees me.

The audition...

Simon Cowell:  Hello.

Onkar: Hello.

Simon Cowell:  What's your name?

Onkar: My name's er, Onkar Judge.

Simon Cowell:  Okay. Why are you here, Onkar?

Onkar: Because I believe I've got what it takes to make the X Factor.

Simon Cowell:  Are you going to win?

Onkar: Yes, I am.

Simon Cowell:  Good. Who are you as good as?

Onkar: Michael Jackson, Daniel Bedinghield, George Michael.

Simon Cowell:  (Nods in anticipation) All right.

Onkar: All right. Here I go, then.

Onkar sings...

¯ What have we done to the word? ¯ Look what we've done ¯ What about all the peace that you pledged your only son? ¯ Did you ever stop to notice ¯ All the children dead from war? ¯ Did you ever stop to notice ¯ This crying earth, this weeping shore? ¯ Ah-ah-aa-aa-ah ¯ Ooo-ooo-ooh ¯ Ah-aa-aah-aah-aa! ¯

Onkar runs backwards, attempting to slam into a not so solid set wall which he nearly knocks down!

Onkar: Pha... Sorry, I thought that was the... I thought that was... I thought that was a solid wall. (He drops to his knees)

Paula Abdul:  Ow!

Sharon Osbourne:  Wow, that's got to hurt.

Paula Abdul:  Ow!

Onkar: No, it doesn't hurt. (Finishes his number) ¯ Ooh-ooh-oooh.... ¯

Sharon Osbourne:  Are you sure?

Onkar: (Sounding pained) No, it doesn't hurt.

Simon Cowell:  Onkar, what the hell was that?

Sharon Osbourne:  (Shaking her head) Whoa.

Onkar: My voice isn't there, sorry to say. Seriously, I am a true performer. I've been in karaoke finals without looking at the screen and I've had 95% of the audience on my side.

Simon Cowell:  I'm going to be honest with you, Onkar. It is one of the worst I've ever, ever heard... It's crazy.

Louis Walsh:  Okay, Simon, moment of truth.

Simon Cowell:  (Emphatic) No.

Paula Abdul:  Sorry, Onkar.

Louis Walsh:  Sharon?

Sharon Osbourne:  No, Onkar. Not this time.

Louis Walsh:  Four nos.

Onkar: All right.

Louis Walsh:  Thank you very much.

Onkar: (Walking out) And there's only one judge.

Simon Cowell:  Who's that?

Onkar: That's me. Onkar Judge.

Simon Cowell:  Oh, Onkar.

Onkar speaks to the camera after the audition...

Onkar: Don't judge the judge, please, cos there is only one judge. Because my name is Mr Onkar Judge.

Back in the audition room with the judges...

Simon Cowell:  Well, that was ridiculous. And he's broken the set.

Sharon Osbourne:  That hurt my ear!
