I did it in 2008 when I was only 14, in 2011 I got to Kelly Rowland\u2019s house in Miami which was a huge big milestone in my life, because not many girls from Ireland get to do something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember just feeling totally pulled apart. I had to go back to schooland all my friends were like \u2018Melanie are you back? I thought you were on the X Factor?\u2019. My dream had just been crushed into a million pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI picked myself up and came back last year and I got to bootcamp. Then when it was a no again, it was like Deja Vu. I was so, so devastated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComing back a fourth time it\u2019s like you are really putting yourself out there again but everyone in the music industry got so many nos before they got a yes and that\u2019s what keeps me going.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After her performance the judges said:<\/p>\n<p>Gary Barlow: \u201c That was absolutely brilliant. The best audition of the day by far. By a mile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nicole:  \u201cIt was effortless, controlled and beautiful but still very honest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sharon Osbourne: \u201cI didn\u2019t know what to expect. You are such a tiny little thing and you come in all shy but when you sing you light up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While an emotional Louis Walsh told the hopeful:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMelanie\u2026.I know Melanie you see and I really want this for her. I just want it because I know what it means to you. I know her family need this, I know you need this and I really want it. I know you have got the talent and I really want you to do well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Melanie McCabe got four yeses and went through to the arena auditions.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* auditions mid page 300x250, created 9\/6\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"2217652781\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"330\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QnvICX6fhgg?feature=player_embedded\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>19 year old singer Melanie McCabe returned to The X Factor auditions for the fourth time after narrowly missing out on a place in the live finals back in 2011.
