Getting closer to the final hurdle for 2009's contestants...


With auditions over, it was time for bootcamp to begin. 2009 has shown us some awesome talent, this year has been a blighter, and we've got some of the highlights for you to check out, just in case you were busy on Saturday night. Because God forbid you completely miss out!

School teacher Danyl Johnson's performance was filled with energy and dubbed by Simon Cowell as "the best first audition ever". Since then, the media hype surrounding him has made him the favourite to win. Doesn't he sound a bit like Daniel Merriweather?

Ethan Boroian, we fancy you. His version of Paolo Nutini's Last Request was a hit and got him through to the judges homes along with the rest of the boys!

A stylish Olly Murs returned as cool as before, singing Elton John's Your Song. How wonderful life is now he's in the world! (Ugh, I just made myself cringe.)
