The audition phase of X Factor is over and the bootcamp begins. In what will be the toughest week of the competition, 162 performers or groups will fight a spot in the top 32. These will be split in to the four groups – boys, girls, over 30′s, and groups. Each of the judges – Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger, and L.A. Reid – will mentor one of these groups through the competition.
This time around, the X Factor crew head over to Newark, NJ for the final set of Auditions. This time around there are more potential stars to get excited about. By now we know how the groups form up. They are Girls, Boys, Over 30s, and Groups. As this is the final set of auditions, we will soon learn who will mentor each group, as we move on to the Boot Camp round next week.

The second night of X Factor Premier week went to Miami and Dallas. The show featured some weirdos again like a girl that claimed she sees ghosts and a guy that argued so much with Simon that may have cost him a passing vote. However, we also had a few excellent contestant, like 18-year-old Melanie Amaro, who did a Beyonce song that got standing ovation from all judges and Paula stating that she is the best contestant she has ever seen. Another highlight was Nick Voss who did an Elvis cover. Below you will see some of the videos. READ MORE
