Season 1- Robert Unwin. The chicken factory worker. If you remember he sang Tragedy and Barbie girl in such an obscene voice. For this show, I'll have him singing BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM by Vengaboys. That would be so hilarious

Season 2- Chico. Whilst one of the more talented ones, you can't deny his audition of him singing Kiss by Prince was absolute cringe, especially the screamy part. Of course I'll have him do his signature song "It's Chico Time"

Season 3- Debi Stevens. She was the pub singer that sang "When You Believe.", then got in a water throwing fight with Louis. For her, I'll have her sing an original song called "Louis" about how much she hates Louis and wants to slap her, then end the performance with her chucking water at him again

Season 4- Rachel. Don't remember her last name but she was so damn deluded, had a nasty attitude and gave an awful rendition of "My Sugar Walls" which ended up in her cussing out the judges. I'd have her butchering a heavily profanity laden version of Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats".

Season 5- Ant and Seb/Deaf. When your mum makes you take your little brother with you. I'd have them doing the same song they did in their audition; "Mysterious Girl" by Peter Andre. That cmon move your body is too iconic

Season 6- Triple Trouble. They half arsedly sang Umbrella by Rihanna and told the audience and Simon to shut up. I'd have them butchering N Dubz "We Dance On" then cuss out the audience mid performance

Season 7- Ablisa. They sang...or attempted to sing That's My Goal by Shayne ward. I'd have them butchering Hero by Mariah Carey which results in Lisa telling the audience to shut up mid performance, Abbey storming off again and punching Lisa again and Lisa popping back to ask one of the judges who they are

Series 8- Goldie Cheung. I'd have her performing Tina Turner's "Simply the best" and add her own flair to it

Series 9- Sheyi Omotayo, the guy that sang Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World" and Will Young's "Leave Right Now" like he was the Cookie Monster. I'm gonna have him absolutely butcher "Please Please Please" by Sabrina Carpenter

Series 10- J-Star. The guy that tried to sing Hallelu-YAHAHAHAHAHA! I think it would be hilarious to see him try to take on Elton John's Tiny Danc-Ahahahaha!

Now here's the challenge- The Newer Series seeing as the bad auditions were toned down

Series 11- Oceane Guyot. I think she had the worst audition of the series. She basically squealed too much trying to sing Mariah Carey's Emotions. I would have her take on Dangerous Woman by Ariana Grande. But she might be one of the better ones because I heard her real covers and they were decent

Series 12- This was the hardest one to find considering a lot of the auditions were actually good. But one rare find was Susan Pryce. The woman who sang No Limits whilst shaking her arse. I'd have her doing that again

Series 13- I was torn between three options but they would come together to form a trio. Abiola would open the performance with whatever she was doing in her audition: HEEEEHEEEEHAAAHAAHAAA HAAAAHEEEEE

then it would transition to Beck Martin, who would perform his original "Friday Night", then it transitions into a remix of that song with the one and only Honey G, who raps her own verse to the song

Series 14- This was also a hard one to find much like Series 12, but due the memes I would choose The Clique (🫰🫰🫰) and I would have them perform Scandalous by Mis-Teeq. They might be good, they might not, but we definitely need to see a death drop somewhere.

Series 15- Ivo Dimchev, who will performehis original lucky day, which got booed by the audience.

If you had to pick a winner out of these who would it be?

If you wanted to add a horrible iconic audition who would it be

Lmk 😊
