I\u2019ve worked in a car wash, I\u2019ve worked in a pub, in a shoe shop, I\u2019ve been a dish washer, a tour guide in a museum. I\u2019ve done so many things and I\u2019ve never really thought that they\u2019ve been right for me. Singing \u2013 I think I\u2019ve finally found the job that I want to do. X Factor feels as though I\u2019m going for a massive interview for the best job that I\u2019ve ever had. I\u2019ve just got to make a good impression.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>After a long question and answer session with the judges where Tobias held his own coming across as a fun and likable character, he then sang Elton John\u2019s \u2018Your Song\u2019 in acapella.<\/p>\n<p>After his performance Louis Walsh said: I think you\u2019ve got a good rock voice but you\u2019re going to have to start believing in yourself. Do a better interview\u2026you\u2019re making us nervous. You\u2019re going to have to start taking this seriously, this is a very important audition and loads of people would love to be in your place.<\/p>\n<p>Nicole Scherzinger commented: I really like your voice a lot. You have a really unexpected fire behind your voice. You\u2019ve had a lot of jobs but hopefully the train stops here. I think there\u2019s a reason why you\u2019ve had so many jobs, because you\u2019re supposed to be singing.<\/p>\n<p>Simon Cowell wrapped up the judges comments by saying: I think you\u2019ve got a good voice. My problem is you. It\u2019s a little bit of a worry when you\u2019re 20 years old and this is potentially your 21st job. This is not going to change my life, but it could change yours.<\/p>\n<p>With all three judges giving him the yes vote, Tobias sailed through to bootcamp.<br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* middle blog 2 468x60, created 9\/10\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"1963694971\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><br \/>\n<object width=\"590\" height=\"375\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/qA98bSy9Vhc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Clothes shop manager Tobias Sumpton from Hull wowed the judges at his X Factor audition with his personality and singing ability.
