This is the final episode of auditions this season. I’m more than ready to move on!

We start with Alesha Dixon sitting in for Nicole Scherzinger.

Boybanned – Scott (28, student nurse) and Ben (27, joiner), from Nottingham. Up until the morning of the audition this group used to be a trio, but their third member Jack decided not to audition. To be honest, these two look way too old for a boyband. They sing Backstreet Boys’ ‘Everybody’. My god, the cheese! The judges are giving them he looks. Louis doesn’t like what he sees. Simon’s face says it all. Simon says Jack made the right decision. Sharon tries to let them go gently. Louis says they are the cheesiest act he has ever seen.

Just Us – retired friends Anna-Maria (67) and Carol (70). They want to prove that you are never to old to chase your dreams. Simon says they are the female version of him and Louis. Louis asks if they are married and one says that her husband passed away, but he was a womanizer anyway. They sing ABBA’s ‘Hasta Manana’. They are terrible. That’s what you get from a couple of deluded pensioners. Simon asks them to find another member – Louis Walsh. Nicole also wants to join. Simon thinks this group could win Eurovision next year for the United Kingdom. Sharon and Simon say YES.

She also worked as a background singer. She wants to be as big as Chaka Khan. She sings Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’. She can sing, but I’m not blown away. Also, Nicole Scherzinger sang this with Matt Terry in the final last year and that was way better. Simon praises her performance, but then brings in her age. Everyone else gives her positive comments. 4 YESes.
