15 Most Appalling X Factor Auditions Ever

By Maddi Lewis /

14. Ant And Seb

Not a single judge was able to control their laughter as brothers Ant and Seb launched into their rendition of Peter Andre's "Mysterious Girl," which featured Ant on vocals and Seb with the occasional ridiculous Jamaican-accented utterance. Even after the judges sent them on their way, the brothers weren't ready to give up, breaking into a second song before being physically removed from the room, and then yet another when Simon passed by them in the waiting area. Simon hit the nail on the head when he dubbed the pair "Ant and Deaf."

13. Emma Chawner

Poor Emma. While the singing admittedly was not great (and yes, that dress was godawful), her parents proved to be more of a problem than she ever was. After a teary-eyed Emma came out of the audition room with four noes, her mum and dad went into the room to confront the judges, who the mum referred to as being "downright ingnora." Nevertheless, they were unable to change the judges' minds. But Emma wasn't done...This time around, Emma, with a new-found confidence and nastier attitude, was joined by her sister, Samantha, on The X Factor stage- but with absolutely no improvement. As Simon says, it was "arguably twice as bad" as the first time Emma gave it a go.
