The first contestant to make it to the next round of The X Factor from the Miami auditions which aired Thursday September 22, 2011 was 21-year old Nick Voss. Nick, a modern-day Elvis impersonator, sang the king’s Trouble.
I am not sure if Nick is as amazing as the judges thought he was, but because he came after 100’s of mediocre to bad singers, Nick was a fresh of breath air to them.
Nicole Scherzinger called Nick “Jim Carrey meets Jerry Lee Lewis with a little sprinkle of Elvis,” but she also said, “I dig you.” Paula Abdul told Nick to stay unique and “lose the Michael Jackson choreography.” She also said people pay for the kind of performance he put on.
