To get the reaction that I did, it was really emotional. I joined the Navy at 16, but I got a really bad injury which meant I couldn\u2019t join my ship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c3 months before that, I bought a guitar and discovered I could sing. I wrote my first song and that\u2019s where I came even more addicted when I started to write my own music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been doing music for quite a while now, and I\u2019m trying to make a career in music. I\u2019ve put myself out there, and you realise the music industry is tough. Your perception changed when you have a child, and I\u2019ve been thinking for the past year \u2018Am I really supposed to be doing music?\u2019 I need to put my wife and my child first. Something needs to happen, otherwise it\u2019s time for me to do something else\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jay went on to sing &#8216;Fix You&#8217; by Coldplay for the pannel and 5000 strong audience. He went down a storm!<\/p>\n<p>Cheryl tells him: \u201cJay, you know what we though of you in your first audition, now listen to this\u2026 That\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re looking for.
