It was the time and pce fress... The British X Factor had twning elements, anticipated by the operations of the venue. X Factor was and would be one of the most iic series in every aspect, without a doubt. This pce will be the foany eyes because of its iiature. It’s a pce that heralds the birth of artists, the beginning of Simon Cowell's career, and the attention of many audiences who long to be part of the spotlight and stand out.

  -I didn't expect a star like you to admit being part of the social circle of a small show that's just getting off the ground, - ented Kate Thornton, the host of X Factor.

  The show had already started, they were iermission, two months ahead of the recs, and thousands of people with dreams in hand presehemselves, with the hope of surviving in the austere world of music, the gathering of musis, and the potential to stand out.

  -Well, you invited me, so I came, - Billy replied with a smile.

  -Ahahaha, a bit funny, - Kate said. -A lot of people say you're one of the most successful people in rht now. Any advice for our testants on the success they should strive for in the petition? -

  -Practice as much as you . Your moment will e in the least expected way or in the most illogical way... Sometimes it’s not about success, it’s about satisfa, - Billy responded.

  -So what is success for all of us? Do you have any key insights? - asked Kate.

  -For artists, have to marry their taste, defiheir specialty, and their vocal tones. Some of us have a deep void try to sing in a high pitch. It’s about feeling fortable, and following that, finding your style, - Billy expihe strength in his voice was something he never had to work on, but it was always something he was warned about as his voice improved through practice. Its color ah established a mark that stood out from the ordinary, and didn’t need further improvement, just tinued practice.

  Songs like "Chop Suey," "Teenagers," "Helena," or "Bck Paradise" demanded a powerful vibrato, which wasn’t Billy's primary skill. It was a simple ability, quite different from what usually happened with softer songs.

  But he improved, and now that his singing surpassed the ordinary, it led him to improve even more.

  -So it's important to choose the style you belong to. I thought versatility was good. - ented Kate.

  -It is, but... no one do it all. It's like choosing a career for your life; you choose what yood at or something you want to bee good at. The more areas of study you take on in your life... the more plicated it gets, - Billy ented. - Well, that's my guess as to why choosing a focus is important. Of course, there are exceptions; you always embrace versatility. -

  -Well, it’s your turn to sing, - Kate said.

  -You're in luck. I hope you pay close attention to my song, - Billy replied, smiling, happy to be in the moment. The situation and his position gave him a plete sense of strength.

  The X Factor ptform drew him in, the force of being there. Normally, these shows attract a lot of people. Billy had watched the show in his previous life and had certain memories of the program, from the auditions, the performances, and the struggle... The judges would grade the songs, give their feedback, and pare Billy to other singers. Why is he participating? To build retionships in the UK, especially as he’ll be involved in Harry Potter. He o keep a low profile; for now, his participation will remain private.

  The stage was set. He missed his band; it was the first time he didn't have his big stars by his side, Spencer, or, Jack Sauce, and Sugar Egg, who all brought a different kind of power.

  -Good evening, I hope you enjoy it. I'll be singing "Here Without You “ by 3 Doors Down, with everything I’ve got, - Billy announced, with a distant rasp in his voice, his mind bnk, fog on the song’s effort to vey solitude. To transmit loneliness.

  ??? ???

  A hundred days have made me olderSihe st time that I saw your pretty faceA thousand lies have made me colderAnd I don't think I look at this the same

  But all the miles that separateThey disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

  I'm here without you, baby

  But you're still on my lonely mindI think about you, babyAnd I dream about you all the timeI'm here without you, babyBut you're still with me in my dreamsAnd tonight, it's only you and me, yeah

  ??? ???

  Loneliness, without words.

  ??? ???

  The miles just keep rolling.As the people leave their way to say helloI've heard this life is overratedBut I hope that it gets better as we go, oh, yeah, yeah

  I'm here without you, babyBut you're still on my lonely mindI think about you, babyAnd I dream about you all the timeI'm here without you, babyBut you're still with me in my dreamsAnd tonight, girl, it's only you and me

  ??? ???

  At the end of the song, the iy... pletely transformed the atmosphere. Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne, and Louis Walsh were stunned by the power and strength o impress the judges. These judges had been listening to auditions for months, just beginning a rigorous training process, and now the performances spawo weeks to give partits time to improve.

  But hearing a singer after so many others was a rare grace. It left them speechless; some wao appud and nod their heads, but the judges found themselves disseg the song, preparing to critique it. Summarizing the performance, Billy, for example, simply exuded grace because he didn’t o move age with the audience. Closing his eyes, he celebrated aion.

  The truth is, for Billy, it was torturous to sing when his instruments were out of sync by mere milliseds. It made him a bit furious, especially the drums.

  They were novices... just novices.…

  ??? ???

  Everything I know, and anywhere I goIt gets hard, but it won't take away my loveAnd whe one falls when it's all said and do gets hard, but it won't take away my love, oh, oh, oh

  I'm here without you, babyBut you're still on my lonely mindI think about you, babyAnd I dream about you all the timeI'm here without you, babyBut you're still with me in my dreamsAnd tonight, girl, it's only you and me, yeah, oh, yeahOh, oh, oh

  ??? ???

  …

  -Wow, - ented Simon Cowell.

  Billy smiled.

  -I think we’ve just experiehe true brilliance of a professional artist pared to novices. It’s no ce—the color of your voice is above anything I’ve ever heard. Your pronunciation was magnifit. I love that slight rasp you have in some parts of the song, perfect sustains, perfect melismas. Your singing is perfect with the band. You’re incredible, - Simon said, pletely captivated by Billy’s music.

  The cameras focused on Simon, who was lost in thought, his fapletely red... It was the first time he had been so expressive, leaving the other judges speechless.

  -You vey so mu your music, almost like a powerful punch, - ented Sharon.

  -It frustrates me pletely that I couldn’t see you live, - responded Louis Walsh.

  -I perform certs all the time. You invite me whenever you need if I’m iy. Don’t hesitate to call me. As long as I have the time, it’s not a problem, - Billy said, happily. His inner fan was thrilled to be part of a show he had followed with all his heart. This time, it was the strength of his singing that brought him here. What would happe?

  -I think, without a doubt, I would reend you to anyone. I think, without a doubt, I’d call every tact I know and invite you to record an album, - Sharon said, ughing untrolbly.

  -That’s exactly what Jerry said when he saw me sing, - Billy replied.

  In a plete downturn, this might bee the most popur performan X Factor.
