Worthing singer with the X Factor
3:50pm Monday 10th September 2012 in News
Rocker Eddy String, from Worthing, managed to impress the judges at the latest X Factor auditions last night.
Eddy, real name Edward Wilkinson, performed the Strokes’ Last Night for the panel – Gary Barlow, Tulisa, Louis Walsh and guest judge Leona Lewis – on stage at London’s huge O2 Arena.
On stage, Gary told Eddy: “You seem at home up there.”
“I feel at home,” Eddy admitted.
“I’ve never been on stage before but I feel like I’ve found my place.”
Gary replied: “Are you auditioning as a singer today or a comedian?”
To which Eddy quipped: “As a singer, it's the premise of the show.”
The audience applauded as Eddy jumped on top of the judges’ desk and sang to Leona.
Gary Barlow said: “The personality thing is on the edge of being annoying, just tone it back a bit… but I thought it was very good.”
Eddy got four ‘yes’s and was sent through to boot camp.

Might make it to the stage after the next one but will then be booted out when they realise he can't sing. Would have been booted the other night if he had stayed on the stage to deliver whatever it was he was trying to do. So predictable.
