Uh, but I found that I that I don't stutter. when I sing. >> Oh, wow.

Is it going to be a song we know? Is it an original? >> Uh, I will be singing uh a song that I wrote and it's just about some hard times.

Good luck. I hope she's good. Uhoh.

It's okay. I still remember that kid afraid to open the door. And now she's grown and she doesn't keep that fear anymore.

It was kept in a box and it locked. She held the key, but now the box is locked and the key is nowhere to be seen. Oh my gosh.

But what if I could go back in time and change the way I felt about my life? Oh, but then would I still have inside everything that brought me back to life? I still remember that kid wanting to be more.

But now she knows that she's worth more than what she's been told. She tried her best to be best and just forget the rest, but the rest is the best and it's what you get. So just let go.

But what if I could go back in time and change the way I felt about my life? Oh, but then would I still have inside everything that brought me to life? Hi Melanie.

>> Hi. >> How are you? >> I'm good, thank you.

How are you? >> Yeah, good. >> I'm Melanie McCabe.

I'm 19 years old and I'm from Dublin. This is my fourth year to do the X Factor. So, I did it in 2008 when I was only 14.

I am beautiful. In 2011, I got to Kelly Roland's house in Miami, which was a huge, big milestone in my life, cuz you know, not many girls from Ireland get to do something like that. >> And I'm going to have to say no.

>> I remember just feeling totally pulled apart. I had to go back to school and all my friends were kind of like, Melanie, are you back? I thought you were on the X Factor.

My dream had just been crushed in a million little pieces. >> I picked myself up when I came back last year and I got to boot camp. Then when it was a no again, it was like deja vu.

I was so so devastated. >> Here we go again. >> I was going to say, here we go again as well.

>> Coming back on a fourth time, it's like you're really putting yourself out there again. But if you look at anybody in the music industry now, they've all got like so many nos before they've gotten a yes. And that's what drives me to keep going.

>> And what do you think's gone wrong in the past? >> I think that I wasn't fully like myself maybe. And I think I feel more confident maybe this year.

>> Well, Melanie, good luck. >> Thank you. >> Here we go.

Good luck. Fine light in the beautiful sea. I choose to be happy.

You and I. You and I. We're like diamonds in the sky.

You're a shooting star. I see a vision of ecasy. When you hold me, I'm alive.

We're like diamonds in the sky. I knew that we'd become one right away. Oh, right away.

And at first sight, I felt the energy of sun rays. I saw the light inside of your eyes. You and I.

You and I, we're beautiful like diamonds in the sky. I to so alive. We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky.

Shine bright like a diamond. Shine bright like a diamond. Shine bright like a diamond.

Thank you, Melanie. >> Wow, >> that was absolutely brilliant. >> The best audition of the day by far, by a mile.

>> It was effortless, controlled, and beautiful, but still very honest. Thank you so much. >> I didn't know what to expect.

You're such a tiny little thing and you come in and you're all shy and when you sing you light up. Thank you, >> Louis. Yeah, Melanie.

>> I know Melanie. You see, and I really want this for her. I just wanted it because I know what it means to you.

I know her family need this. I know you need it. And I really want it for you.

I know you've got the talent, you know, and I really, really want you to do well. >> Thank you. >> So, well done.

We're going to vote Louie. >> I'm saying a very big yes. >> Thank you.

Best audition of the day. Four yeses. Well done.

>> Great to see you back. >> Congratulations. Well, >> we'll see you at the arena.

Melanie, this is your time. Go for it. >> Oh god, she was so good.

And I crashed down and I tumbled, but I did not crumble. >> It's her talent that's going to get her through as far as she goes. So talented, >> but she didn't last year.

She was the same. She was great. Our first audition, we loved her.

>> I don't know why, but it just feels different this time. Do you feel like that, too? >> Yeah, it really does.

>> Yeah. I have to say this year I I felt at home more than I have any other year. And I just love this.

>> Oh, you're so brilliant. That was amazing. All worth it in the end.

>> Yes. >> I got to know my own. >> Hello.

>> Hi. >> What is your name? >> My name is Beth.

>> Beth, where are you from? >> I'm from Devon originally, but I live in London. >> Amazing.

Okay. And you are going to be singing? >> I I am indeed.

>> Is that how you make a living? >> Not at all. I'm a pediatric nurse.

I work at um a big children's hospital here in London. >> Do you ever take your guitar to work? >> I do.

Yeah. When I was a student, there was a boy who wanted to learn guitar, but he had nobody to teach him. So, I said, "Oh, I can teach you.

" And then as I would play with him, other parents would say, "Can you come into my kids' room and play? " So, I'd end up just going around the wards just playing for the kids. >> That's so cool.

>> What an amazing thing to be able to bring a smile because of all those faces. It made me think maybe I should give the whole music thing a go. So, this is why I'm here today.

>> And Beth, are you going to sing a cover or an original song? >> Um, I'm singing an original song. >> Good.

>> Um, it's a it's a difficult job and part of processing a lot of the things that happen on the ward. Um, I I write songs. So, the song I've written today um is about what I've learned from from my patients and their families.

I'm not a parent myself, but I've got a snapshot of what it's like to love a child. Um, so that's what inspired this song. >> Good for you.

>> Take a deep breath. Let's make the next two minutes count. Okay.

So, this is called You Taught Me What Love Is But I'm thinking about you. If I could take your place, I'd do it a thousand times. Now there's a Ushaped hole in my life.

And no, I won't be the same. You taught me to be brave. And although it wasn't for long, you taught me what love is.

No, I won't be the same. You taught me to be brave. And although it wasn't for long, you told me what love is.

For just less than a year, I never slept at all. And I'll never sleep again. If I could see you once more.

You were too good for this world, this life. You were handpicked for paradise. And know I won't be the same.

You taught me to be brave. And though it wasn't for long. You will never know how much I love you.

That was bad. >> Hello. Who are you?

Hi, I'm Cherylyn and I am 40 years old and I'm from Flatley in South Wales. >> Cherylyn, tell us a little bit about yourselves. >> Um, I have three beautiful children and I uh I run my own charity.

>> What is the charity? >> I found out I have a heart defect and we basically raise funds to uh place defibrillators um in public places. >> Have you tried singing before?

Or did you not want to be at a pop star when you were all teenaged when I was 13. I grafted around the clubs and the pubs and then I stopped when I was 30. My husband had a really serious accident in work and he was paralyzed for 6 months.

So I gave it all up to basically help him get back to fitness and learn to walk again. And I never went back and now I'm here and I cannot believe it. myself and Sharon be married coming up to 10 years now.

As soon as uh I saw her and I just fell in love with her voice and I fell in love with her. Very soon in our relationship, I was involved in a in an accident. It was a life changer in the police force serving at one minute and then paralyzed the next.

It was tough times and Sheron was my rock. >> She held on to me when I there was times there was dark times. She saw me through it, you know.

It's an opportunity for Cherylyn now to to come here and have that dream that she she left behind for my for my sake. You were there for me. It was tough and I want you to go out there and I want you to show that you are she's a special person and I love her all the world.

>> What are you going to sing for us? >> I didn't know my own strength by Whitney Houston. So, are you ready?

>> Okay, I'm ready. >> Okay, good luck. >> Thank you.

Lost touch with my soul. I had nowhere to turn. I had nowhere to go.

Lost sight of my dream. Thought it would be the end of me. I thought I'd never make it through.

I had no hope to hold on to. I thought I would break. I didn't know my own strength.

There were so many times I wondered how I get through the night. I thought I took all that I could take. I didn't know my own strength.

My face kept me alive. I pick myself back up, hold my head up high. I was not built to break.

I didn't know my own strength. I was not built to rain. No, now I know my own strength.

Thank you so much. Thank you. >> Are you okay?

You're all right, baby. >> I can't handle that thought. >> Sorry.

It's ridiculous how much the words resonate with me and I understand you've been through some hard times. It really touched us. >> Thank you so much.

Thank you. Look, Shelon, you know, it wasn't the best vocal I've heard from from that song. >> It's true, but it's quite rare that every lyric of the song is relevant to your life.

Your husband's okay. >> He's fine >> because that could be the best backstory we've ever had on. >> Do you have any stray dogs?

>> I love my dog. >> Is it a rescue dog? He's not.

No, he's um Oh, I can get one. I can get one. That's fine.

>> There was such emotion in it. I really connected to you. I think you're really awesome.

>> Thank you so much. Thank you. >> Now, we have the vote.

My biggest inspiration is actually Beyonce. Yes. So crazy right now.

I'm Melanie. I'm 44. I'm pretty much a stay-at-home mom, but I also run a music class called Fairy Flutterby Little Rockies.

>> Children in my local area know me as Fairy Flutterby. Not many people call me Melanie. Usually people call me Fairy.

I flitted and I fluttered with all my little animal and insect friends. Started singing in bands really from the age of about 15. I used to sing all over Glasgow.

But then I had two wonderful children who are my absolute life. But I still have dreams I've yet to fulfill. Music is the only thing I've ever wanted to do.

But I feel it's kind of make or break now. I'm going to sing today like this is the last time I'm ever going to sing. >> What are you going to sing for us?

>> Crybaby. It's a Janice Joplin song. >> All right, let's hear it.

Cry baby. Cry baby. Cry baby.

Welcome back home. I know she told you. I know she told you that she loved you much more than I I did.

And I know that she left you. And you swear that you just don't know why. Hey, but you know, darling, I'll always be around.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

And cry. Cry baby. Cry baby.

Cry baby. If you're feeling lonely, baby, you want to do it. Come on home.

Come home this right here. And if you ever feel loving, all I want you to do right now is cry baby. Welcome back.

Oh my god, that voice. You were guiding us through the song, telling us the story. It was amazing.

It really was. >> Thank you. Thank you.

Melanie, where did that voice come from and where has it been? You're 44. This is what the show is all about.

Finding somebody as amazing as you and giving them a chance. >> I I completely can't believe that you killed it like that. Um, it is never too late to have a record deal, girl.

Oh my god. I tell you what. Well, you came on stage and you seemed really gentle and then all of a sudden this fire and this soul and this diva came out of you.

You own that stage. You absolutely rocked it. That's how you do it.

Thank you so much. >> One 2 3. Yeah.

Thank you. >> Did you see? Did you watch it?

So it's 10 years. >> Wow. >> And Mandy, how did you lose your hearing if you don't mind me asking?
