Olly Murs Steals the Show on X Factor

By , About.com GuideSeptember 12, 2009

Follow me on:

This week's most impressive X Factor audition was saved for the end of the show. Simon Cowell said it's the easiest "yes" he's ever given. 25 year old Olly Murs proved he has a soulful voice and more than a few onstage dance moves. His version of Stevie Wonder's classic "Superstition" brought a full set of enthusiastic "yes" votes from the judges' table.

There were additional notable auditions. 82 year old William Hooper proved that X Factor will indeed give an opportunity to anyone over the age of 16. After turning in an energetic performance of the standard "Come Fly With Me," Hooper found out he made it through. This week also saw the return of a performer who was perhaps eliminated too soon last year at boot camp. Rikki Loney took the stage once again with greater confidence and wowed all of the judges with both his talent and his courage to return.
