The wonder of... George!
He doesn't look like your typical pop star, but 62-year-old factory worker George is much misunderstood! In fact we only really understand him when he sings for the panel. Ironically (or perhaps it's George's little joke) he sings about being misunderstood!
Despite receiving the inevitable 3 'no's from the judges this brummie is still brimming with confidence. After the audition he boasts that he has the X Factor... or maybe he's just looking forward to some 'eggs after'... we're not sure. ¯ That's the wonder... the wonder of George!!  ¯

Panel-Bites:

George speaks before his audition...

George: (Inaudible) I mean, I'd do anything for charity. I wish I could be a big star, not Joe average. Let's see, let's see. It's my pride and joy

George enters the audition room...

Simon Cowell:  Why are you here?

George: (Inaudible - sounds kind of like...) To take part in your incredible series. (Maybe!)

Simon Cowell:  What artist would you aspire to be George in the next 10 years?

George: (Sounds like...) They all like me. I have respect for other people.

Simon Cowell:  Who?

George: You can't wish for anything better.

Simon Cowell:  And do you think you can win the show?

George: (Mumbles what sounds like...) That's my life. That's my life.

Simon Cowell:  All right. (Under his breath) Didn't understand a word of that... All right George.

George sings...

¯ Oh ho ho ho ¯ When no-one else can understand me ¯ And we're always there ¯ To lend a hand ¯ In everything I do ¯ That's the wonder ¯ The wonder of you ¯

Simon Cowell:  (Interrupts) Okay George... This is one of those moments where I ask myself why we do this.

Sharon Osbourne:  I don't think your voice is right for recording. There's a problem...

Simon Cowell:  (Talking over Sharon) No-one would understand a single word.

Sharon Osbourne:  ...with your diction. I'm just trying to say that Simon! Right George?

Simon Cowell:  Or you sell a record with subtitles. Louis, yes or no?

Louis Walsh:  Erm, I think it's going to have to be no.

George: Fair enough.

Simon Cowell:  Sharon?

Sharon Osbourne:  No, but thanks for coming in.

George: Fair enough.

Simon Cowell:  Thanks, George.

George: Thanks very much.

Outside the audition room George's self-confidence remains undented...

George: I have got the X Factor. Brilliant!
