Sep 23 (THAINDIAN NEWS) As the second night of the Season Premiere of X Factor kicked off, judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger, and LA Reid were ready to sort through the riff raff and decide who would be one step closer to the largest prize in television and music history, a five million dollar contract with Sony. As the Miami auditions continued, the judges felt it was the worst session ever, no one had made it through after many many contestants performed.

Nick Voss asked for two days off to audition for X Factor, and his boss told him that if he went, he was fired. He went. He cried as he explained that this is his dream, but he wants it for his family as well, for his mom. He said that prize would change his life forever, that music is his life, that he can;t do anything else.

Nick sang ‘Trouble’ by Elvis Presley. The twenty one year old rocked the stage. The audience exploded. Nicole smiles, as Paula nodded. Nick danced and pranced all over the stage…just like you’d expect a modern day Elvis to do, and played to the audience very well. His mom was crying backstage.

LA said that he did not love the singing alone, but he brought it into the room and to him excited for the first time that day. Nicole didn’t like it at first, but, “I dig you,” she said, and loved his uniqueness. Paula advised him to lose the Michael Jackson choreography, and work a bit on his vocals. Simon absolutely loved him. He loved his emotions, that he really wanted this. All of the judges gave him a yes, and Nick was the first Miami contestant to go through.
