News about James Morrison

More unseen footage from the boys' initial auditions has been posted twelve years since Simon Cowell's fateful decision to band a group of X-factor hopefuls together, formally forming One Direction. This time, it's Louis Tomlinson's turn to face the music. In the new edit, his trepidation is palpable. All fans of Tomlinson's audition were shown a video of him singing a short snippet of "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's prior to this video. However, this clip shows that he started with a different song and was asked to change it up halfway through. In the video, an empathetic 18-year-old Tomlinson says, "I love singing, and this means so much to me"; "I just want to give it my best." He names James Morrison as a musical inspiration of his, and then starts his audition off with the Scouting for Girls song "Elvis Ain't Dead," making it through the first chorus before Cowell stops him and asks, "What other songs?"
