'X Factor 2015' updates: Boot Camp winners and losers revealed!
"X Factor 2015" Boot Camp round is where contestants are given the final chance to impress the judges and show them what they are made of. Some buckled under pressure, while others fought their way through. And as the head judge, Simon Cowell, would say, "Now you know why it's called Boot Camp."
Anton Stephans, a backup singer, didn't hold back with his performance, and made Olly Murs teary-eyed. Cowell was awestruck and said he found the singer "fascinating."
Even if she did not make it through last year, Monica Michael came back and got the support of the judges after singing "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers. Judge Rita Ora said that Michael wants this "bad."
Ben Clark, Bupsi, and the Filipino girl group 4th Power, now 4th Impact, also made it through the next round. "We'd be crazy not to put you through," said Ora.
Silvertone, a group of Gospel singers, made the judges unimpressed when they sang "Changing" by Paloma Faith. "I think they've gone back to their old habits again," Cowell commented. The group still made the cut, but was warned by the judges that there is no more second chances for them.
One contestant did not handle the pressure well, and has forgotten the lyrics. Lauren Murray said that her mind just "went blank" during her performance of Brownstone's "If You Love Me."
Alien, a girl group, made an out-of-this-world performance of "Diamonds" by Rihanna, which amazed the judges. Unsurprisingly, Alien, who's dubbed as the "Spice Girls on Mars," made it through the Six Chair Challenge round.
Now that the Boot Camp is over, it will now be the time for the "dreaded" Six Chair Challenge. The 15 acts of each group will now be down to six after this round, which is described to be the most feared level of the competition.
"X Factor 2015" Six Chair Challenge will start this Oct. 4 on ITV.
