An unimpressed Simon gives an auditioning singer a second chance, and the man nailed his X Factor audition!
Simon Cowell is known for his brutal honesty. He’s made singers and performers bawl on stage over the years. But this time around, something astonishing plays out on the stage after a performance. Unimpressed, Simon gives singer Gary Barker a second chance. Then Gary nails his X Factor audition!
Gary came bouncing onto the stage and already the judges were not impressed with his theatrics, especially after the music began to play with his song choice. Gary chose Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ 'Uptown Funk.' The upbeat, high energy song failed to impress the judges. When Gary belted out the words to the hit song, the judges signaled for the music to stop halfway into the performance. It seems Gary’s chance is over before it even started.
Simon was brutally honest. He told Gary they weren’t looking for an entertainer but someone with an incredible voice to coach. Gary then pleaded to try out with another song. Simon relented and warned him to throw out all his bad habits and connect with the music.
What happens next is astounding. Gary shows off what he is really capable of, with the song, ‘A Change Is Gonna Come.’ The judges were visibly shocked and questioned why he didn’t go with this performance first.
He told the judges, “I don’t class myself as a singer. I class myself as an entertainer.” Simon stops him right there in the moment.
“You know what? Sorry. This is absolutely wrong. No! You’re not that kind of person. You don’t see Sam Smith bouncing around,” Simon said.
Then, Simon and the rest of the judges tell Gary who he is supposed to be. They lifted him up and encouraged Gary by telling him to be himself, to be proud of his talent, and not try to mimic other artists. Because Gary wanted to be a performer so badly, he tried to conform himself to this world and other things and it was definitely the wrong choice.
“I think you are actually way, way better than even you know because you’ve been asked to do stupid things for entertainment,” Simon said. That moment was not only life-changing for Gary, it was also soul-changing as the judges reminded him of who God meant for him to be!
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2
