Hello everyone and welcome back to The X Factor: Project Stars, where the search for a true star continues tonight!

A few days ago, the judges sat through the first batch of auditions hoping to see lots of talent. While they did find what they were looking for, there were also a number of acts they found to be less pleasant on the ears. In total, 12 acts from the first show have made it through to boot camp, with a few more waiting to reinforce the categories should the judges be unable to find any talent tonight.

Tonight's show is a bit of an improvised one as I hadn't planned for it to be tonight. However, due to conflicting schedules with another game, I've moved it into the slot where it has to compete with the real X Factor. No matter, I'm sure our judges can multitask.

Speaking of our judges, please give them another warm welcome:

I know Nathan isn't here and Paul will catch up later, but who is ready to judge 24 more auditionees?

Just about to eat tea. Any chance of starting in 15?

I was gonna say - I am here, but am leaving for like 15-20 mins for food.

Then will be here for the duration

So basically everyone is leaving and returning at different times? Great.

In that case, I'll just kick things off with the first two auditionees of the night and let you comment at your leisure. Here are Times Red and Owen Stuart.

Times Red.

I guess 6:30 PM wasn't the best possible starting time was it?

I'm back and will be here now for the duration

Times Red
Overall It was a great way to kick off the second audition show, you bring something a little bit different to the show and I like your voices and the way they gel together. I guess my main problem with you is that for a boyband you look a tad old and not the best in the looks department. However your voices are great and you work well together, so from me it's a YES

Owen Stuart
Hmmmm.... if i'm totally honest with you I think the backing track completely swallowed you up in that performance and really I don't think you have a strong enough voice. So from me it has to be a NO.

Good, the first two acts have been posted already, and Pingu and Paul should both be around shortly.

Back. Will post my decisions in a moment.

Times Red
Ohhhh, I really liked that and I think you could be taken down a few very interesting routes. A really nice way to kick off the 2nd round of auditions. It is a massive YES from me.

Owen Stuart
That was quite weak and I think we have better acts than you similar to you already. It is a NO.

EndOfSanity

09-11-2014

Well, that only took you what, 30 minutes? Paul should be around shortly to reinforce you two soon. Anyway, a promising start for Times Red but Owen looks to be in trouble...

Next up, a familiar face from 2012 - Kye Sones.

I must say, I wasn't a fan of you on the show. However, I think your voice could be worked with and tbh, you have been one of the best Over 25s we have had from auditions so far. It's a YES.

yohinnchild

Kye Sones
I think you didn't start the strongest, however then when it hit the chorus you were totally there. I think you've got a good voice and add something different to the Overs that are already through. I liked the mash-up and thought that it worked really well. For me it has to be a YES!

EndOfSanity

09-11-2014

Two yeses for Kye, meaning he just needs one more form either of our absent judges to make it to boot camp.

Time for more familiar faces by means of a double dose of UK acts. Here are Ryan & Liddia and Jake Sims!

Ryan & Liddia
Hahahahahahahahahahaha.....NO.

The video didn't work for James but I have found it myself:

Jake Sims
Here's the thing. You have a good voice but it's very plain and I just think you would be drowned out by the other, more diverse boys. Unfortunately, it's a NO.

Ryan & Liddia
I love a novelty act, but it just wasn't for me. The voices were weak and it's just not what i'm really looking for, so it's a NO.

Jake Sims
Wow! thought that was a great audition and you've got a lot of soul and depth to your voice. Looking at who's in the boys category, I think you'd only make it stronger. So from me it's 100% YES

EndOfSanity

09-11-2014

Not looking good for the duo there, but Jake might still be in with a chance if he gets the other judges on board.

Time for the already crowded girls category to show off again. Please welcome Tasha Leigh!

Tasha Leigh
Meh is what I would describe you as. There was nothing unique and nothing interesting that made me want to put you through. It is a NO from me.

yohinnchild

09-11-2014

Tasha Leigh
Tasha, I don't think that was a bad performance and you do have a good voice. However I don't think it is strong enough considering the girls that we have put through, so for that reason for me it's a NO.

EndOfSanity

09-11-2014

Two rejections for Tasha, meaning the best she can hope for is to be put on the reserve list.

How about to US acts next? Ladies and gentlemen, it's Marivana Viscuso and Francesca Duncan.

Marivana Viscuso
If i'm honest that performance and indeed your look kind off scared me. It was.... how can I put this a little shouty, however I want to watch it again. So from me it's a YES

Francesca Duncan
Honestly, it looks like you need a good meal inside you and vocally I found it hollow and unemotional. It's nowhere near the standard of the other girls, so it's a NO from me

pingu58011

09-11-2014

Marivana Viscuso
What were you listening to David? That was dreadful and you just shouted your way through the song. An absolute NO.

Francesca Duncan
It was nice but that was it. There was nothing interesting and the other girls are much better. It is a NO.

Boooooooo!

The judges seem to be a bit on the grumpy side don't they?

Let's see if Chloe J and CJ from the US can change that.
