Nicholas McDonald sings True on The X Factor 2013 eighties night on the first live show

Scottish singer Nicolas Mcdonald will be hoping all of Scotland will get behind him in is bid to become the winner of The X Factor 2013.

Nicolas is one of the three boys in the boys category mentored by Louis Walsh this year; the other two boys being Sam Callahan and Nicolas Luke Friend.

The 16-year-old has impressed at every stage of the competition so far and he is hoping to do the same again tonight on the first X Factor live show singing ‘True’ by Spandau Ballet.

We enjoyed this rendition of the track but to be honest its to a song we particularly like, but it was well suited to his voice.

This is what the judges made of it:

NICOLE SCHERZINGER: I have always loved you….you are so effortless up there. Tonight is the first night I have noticed those baby blue eyes of yours though. Good job sweetie.

LOUIS WALSH: I am really glad to be your mentor….you are what this show is all about. Finding an unknown little kid with a whole lot of talent. I think you are going to be here for a long time and I am really happy I am your mentor.

GARY BARLOW: You have had limited experience, you are singing a song from a period you think is a period drama and you nailed it tonight. You have got everyone on your side….it’s loveability with this guy.

SHARON OSBOURNE: Did you say almost 16? You are such a darling! So talented! I am glad you are here! You’re confident and fabulous….I’ve got my eye on you.
