Louis Tomlinson's Audition: EXTENDED CUT | The X Factor UK

When Louis was a judge on the Xfactor, he said something like how the audition was the scariest thing he's done in life. So so proud of him and everything he's achieved!

[@melissareichel1301]

I think a big reason why one direction became so successful were the video diaries from the x factor days. Bringing personality to the group instead of just being singers. Louis being the funny, chaotic group clown personality is what brought them up another level and made them what they are today. The judges were right, he has a very likeable vibe to him which is what he brought to the group, not just singing talent.

[@filelps1178]

Not just that- he worked A LOT behind the scenes. Harry was the face* of the group, but Louis was the leader. Has the majority of song credits, was the one who got them to fire the dude who wrote album 1 so they could write their own lyrics, was the one who was able to get their music people to change their sound from bubblegum pop to something less childish, was credited by liam for being the one who got the band to sound how it did due to his talents, made enemies behind the scene for the sake of the group, etc etc. He was a key gear inorder for 1D to be what they're known as today and then. Bless the man.

[@Robbie_Tega]

He doesn’t have talent, and he is fairly average looking too. He is likeable and charming in the audition, but the amount of luck this guy had to be in the right place at the right time and get put into 1D is like winning the lottery 3 times in a row.

[@chrisnoziere2893]

I was very upset that Louis rejected Marc Higgins from the reason when he came back as judge in X factor 2018. Watching his first audition he wasn’t that good and he wasn’t going to win the competition as solo artist. That’s why he was placed in a group. His first song he sang didn’t do it for me it sounded a little karaoke. His version of Hey There Delilah was okay. He’s lucky One Direction became a global phenomenon after the show. If they never got recognition from the United States they wouldn’t be where they are today. Because name one contestant who became global success in the X factor UK before One Direction you can’t name one. One Direction is honestly lucky.

[@ShambhaviKamat]

@@chrisnoziere2893it’s almost same for every other famous group that uprised from X factor or infact any other global shows. One direction was lucky but all the members had equal contri to it. And each of them have very loyal fan base and even solo fanbase other than directioners

[@emmablodgett5546]

yeah it really shows that he was just nervous and a bit pitchy, but he had a unique timbre to his voice, it was warm, bright, and soft, and when he did hit the notes right it sounded great. the judges could see that he had potential, he connected with music, and he truly loved singing. add the likeability factor and it’s obvious why he got through. now with how much better his voice has gotten tone and pitch wise it shows how hard he’s worked to get where he is now, all thanks to the chance he got here

[@perfumeaddict1204]

@@emmablodgett5546 I grew up listening to Ian Curtis and Bernard Sumner trying frantically to hit a right note and Louis' pitchiness is no bother to me at all. What I love is the TONE of his voice, which is so bright and hits your right in the heart. His is the voice I listen out for in every One Direction song.

[@emmablodgett5546]

@@perfumeaddict1204 yes!!! i used to care a lot about the notes being accurate bc I’ve been a musician for years, I play like 4 instruments, and I think I have either relative pitch or perfect pitch, so an out of tune note really sticks out to me. but listening to Louis actually changed that bc logically ik that some of the others (Liam and zayn mostly) are much better technique wise, but Louis’s voice touches something inside me that they can’t. idk what it is, but the inflection, the dynamics, the tone… something about Louis’s voice really connects with the music. i mean just listen to copy of a copy… I can’t imagine anyone other than Louis singing that. so like ik he sings some notes out of tune, just like a LOT of singers, but his unique tone more than makes up for it. he’s incredible.

[@emmablodgett5546]

@@perfumeaddict1204 and you’re right, one direction would have honestly sounded bland without Louis. in every chorus you can hear his voice ringing above the rest. he’s got insane projection to the point where he has struggles with the microphone bc it’s too loud at a normal distance. and he adds the color to the music, it fleshes out the harmonies. one direction wouldn’t have been the same without him.

[@emmablodgett5546]

@@Mothromance cause the part they showed was fine at first and then the second half was really pitchy, and they only played the part like that. it was the first chorus. he went a whole tone off pitch and seemed to just lose the key he was in for a part of a phrase. but then he got back on after for “hey there Delilah I know times are getting hard” which wasnt in the original, and that part was really good and showed off his unique timbre. he had a few notes that went off pitch after that (“good” and “me” were off) but overall that’s easily fixed by not straining, and he’s gotten better at that by using more breath support and less throat tension. that’s why he was off for a bit at the end of “oh it’s what you do to me” at the end but then it got softer and on pitch when he repeated the phrase lower. he stopped being tense the second phrase. sorry for the rant I’m a singer and I love Louis yk how it goes lol

currently crying all my tears, i’m so proud of him

[@Amelia-hz3hr]

I'm crying I'm so proud of him and how far he's come the "please just give me a chance" literally broke my heart 😭

[@kristelpenafiel5716]

I don’t think I can put into words how proud of Louis I am, like you can see now how confident he is on stage now and he says all the time that it is partially thanks to the fans cause he feels strong enough to get it wrong in front of us and we’ll still be there but Louis this is all you! You were born for this. I’m so so proud of you Louis

[@sharonwhitaker710]

Louis is so talented...he wrote the best music for 1D and his solo career is soaring...FITF is insane I love basically all the songs on that album...You didn't have to beg for a chance you are bigger than that whole panel ❤️🥰🔥

[@meghbanerjee4259]

I AGREE SO HARD LOUIS IS ABSOLUTELY KILLING IT OUT THERE RIGHT NOW ❤🥰🔥

[@icarusfalls1427]

He have come from so far, he was so nervous but no one have the same voice, his voice truly is unique.

[@a111ine]

"how the f did this lad from doncaster get here?" forever proud of this boy! louis deserves nothing but the best things in world.

4:08 Simon described Louis Tomlinson the best way possible, such an intriguing artist with a unique personality and very unique voice, top

[@Ila28]

He was so nervous, but he has that crystal clear voice we all love. I love it. Louis Tomlinson you are one of the greatest.

[@ImJustParanoid]

He was so nervous and so cute it makes my heart melt. He truly has a connection with music, time has proved it. So proud of his path and what he has achieved. Pretty sure his lovely mom would be too, especially looking at this video now. Keep going Louis, we love you.

[@juthbriggs9810]

OMG Louis sounds so good, I love him so much ❣️🥰

[@nadica3675]

Im tearing up omg. This full audition is so much better than the short one we've seen!

[@waoyfbabe]

louis and nicole knew how people could just sit from afar and admire him for years without getting tired of his voice, appeal, beauty and presence. i can't grasp how so much people could hate his beautiful soul, but there's also us who would give up anything for him. let him keep smiling please

[@marthaisabel9520]

Nicole: "Honestly, Louis I really do believe you when you're singing and I think you have an amazing connection with music. So, I just want you to stand there and sing for us. I'm really happy that I get to hear that second song because I really like you" Got emotional when she said it!!! 🥺💗

[@listenup28_]

he's so cuteee💙💙💙 i've been on his concert the 3rd september 2022 at milan and he was amazing,i seen how much care and dedication he give to his work and that day was the best day of my life,i'm so proud of him he deserves all this💙💙

[@zuzia_szy]

3:26 and his little "please just give me a chance" has me sobbing my eyes out. He seemed so nervous, bless him, but now he's selling thousands of tickets to a tour all around the world from people that care about him more than they care about themselves.

[@chloeshayden]

They did my boy DIRTY with the Hey There Delilah clip we've had for the past eleven years. He's such a sweetheart and this clip shows a part of him we haven't seen 🥺

[@aerialhardaway4634]

CHLOE!!!

[@ritamolino7005]

Why is this the audition that got me in tears? So proud of you Louis xo

[@camille4710]

That pure smile he got through out this whole audition, his unique and soothing voice, and the tense he is feeling while singing and speaking to the judges. I can feel his whole love and passion to music and his real dedication to show it to the world. Little did he know he will be part of the biggest boyband and will soon make great music and will perform on thousands of arenas in different parts of the world. You made it Louis and i am so so proud of you!!

[@alwayslouistomlinson]

Aw he was so nervous, but still looked the cutest and sound the sweetest! He has come so far and achieved so much, just ended his first solo tour, is getting ready for his own second Away From Festival, and finishing his second album! Yeah he’s doing amazing, so dead proud of him! So many years later he still have that beautiful and warm smile ❤️

[@RohiniRoy22]

Probably Louis isn’t the most “successful” artist out there, but out of all the boys, I respect him so much. And this extended cut shows the world the wonderful human he is, grateful for whatever good comes his way. Hope you always shine Louis. ❤

How did they think Hey There Delilah would be the best one to show on tv 😭

This made me cry, his confidence has improved so much, I have attended his concert last year and I am so so proud of him, the energy he gives is just something else I can't explain. I love him so much 🥺💖

[@ysabelbarker2950]

his full audition truly shows his full talent and potential. so so so proud of what he's become, and not only is he talented but even from day one you can see his kind-heartedness shine

[@CraigBukenya]

His voice is vocally quite weak but nonetheless sounds nice. But he’s got star quality

[@ysabelbarker2950]

@@CraigBukenya weak for 2010? sure, but you can hear his potential and i’m glad he had the chance to prove himself and improve

There was definitely potential there for sure, i feel like you either absolutely adore his type of voice or you don’t and i absolutely love it, it’s so unique in the best way

[@conde7625]

Wow he actually performed well back then!! Louis has this huge magnetism since the very beginning. Such a talented and invested artist, too... it's been such a journey and somehow I feel there's much more to come bc he's always improving

[@NilsFLindberg]

Performed well? Are you delusional?

[@joselopnandez3720]

I was so nervous that they wouldn’t choose him for a sec and then I realized they did and he’s an incredible artist now

[@Ok_Loren]

I stopped breathing 😮‍💨 for a min but that happens a lot with Louis videos

[@anyacanna5121]

This was his third audition for the X Factor and he did it in spite of his nerves and fear of failure....true Capricorn spirit. Can't think of anyone who has worked harder, under more duress than Louis. He deserves the world and is such an inspiration and joy.

[@jhersonkevin1300]

wow i didnt know this was his 3rd auditiom, id love to see the others

[@isafranco7747]

It's not. This was his first

[@anyacanna5121]

@@isafranco7747 Tomlinson auditioned for the television talent competition The X Factor in 2009 but was turned down. However, when he returned to try out for the show's seventh season in 2010, his rendition of the song "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's brought him successfully into the competition. I had read a long time ago that it was his third time in 2010 but I can not find any article that goes up to three times now...they all parrot the same information. Our boy has ambitions!

Very out of tune

[@danielarocha8729]

He just don’t know how much we love him, this was amazing, I’m genuinely crying, I’m so proud of him. “Just give me a chance” really got me, he’s just the best person and so talented.

[@luluvinella2596]

Me rompe el corazón ver lo nervioso que estaba... Quiero decir, es ta fácil empatizar con él. Su lenguaje corporal no miente, realmente estaba pasando un muy mal momento y a pesar de todo trataba de controlarse. Estoy ta feliz y orgullosa de que haya podido llegar hasta donde llegó porque él es realmente talentoso, mueve a las masas y su voz es demasiado dulce.

[@margaritaceciliasilvaarred9933]

The Louises are so proud, you haven't changed your essence, that's so appreciated, you're a sweetheart and now you're so confident on stage, you give everything, your concert in Chile was one of the best I've ever experienced I love you sun ♥️

[@VinylsforHalo]

I'm just glad they gave him a chance or else I wouldn't have found my favourite artist that has saved me time and time again and kept me happy for so long. Hearing him live irl was the best ever and I'm so glad they did give him a chance

LITERALLY EVERYONE LOVED HIM FROM THE FIRST DAY IM SO PROUD OF MY BABY
