Now this kid can sing. This kid is another Charlie Pride you don't find many AfroAmericans that can sing country like this kid. He is a star already, he sang that song just as good as the original singer way to go Willie Jones I will be looking for your album in the future. Wow 17 and you sing like a star but to me he is a super star. I wish you nothing but the best Willie Jones
His lower register was incredible!! His higher version not so good here but if has kept on going and hasn't given up since he was voted off the live shows I bet by now that's incredible! He is definitely talented!
Their reactions to his song choice bugs me! What, is every black teen boy expected to sing a specific genre? Those judges are in the industry and are supposed to be professionals. Still they stereotype and act like immature newbies just cause of his song choice. He did awesome and I just have to say him and his family have the best teeth I've ever seen!!! Seriously, great freakin smiles. Who's your dentist? LOL
Rock N Roll Girl Well, there aren't that many black people singing Country music, so you can't blame the audience. I'm black and I sing Classical, and people often say after my performances "Well...we didn't expect that!". But you are right about Willie having nice teeth - why he chose to have some gold ones inserted recently is beyond me.
Rock N Roll Girl People do judge based on appearance - and that's not *totally* a bad thing so long as you don't use it to harm another person. Looking at his outfit, I would've guessed that he was going to sing rock or something. I don't think it's such a bad thing. If he was white their reaction would have been the same.
Ok, I have the lack of pleasure in living in the UK but, how can any one individual criticise this when a few thousand audience, and two industry leading music moguls are totally impressed. Eighteen years old and what astonishing confidence for his first time on "the big stage"!
+andy gabriel Agreed. She was a sour puss throughout the whole song but when she realised the other judges liked him all of a sudden it was smiles all round!!! Plus I find her a tiny weeny bit racist.
Black people paved the way country music tho....like just about every other genre others try to claim. A black man invented the the banjo....especially if your a southern black person, This isn't surprising to see. People just don't know or acknowledge history.
***** Yeah do the research. He wasn't technically black (from Africa, but an American Citizen) but developed the chip that made computers smaller and faster. See he didn't invent the computer, for sure, but his microchip made it possible for the common people to use computers. black man invented the super soaker too! lol
slater1ist well , at least you got some of it right. im pretty sure that gunpowder was invented in China and slavery dates back about 8000 years and was first seen in Egypt.
He is adorable! lol Honeys....where do you think country music started? With the first cowboys. But the only one who got commercial recognition was Charlie Pride. But you youngin's don't know nuthin' 'bout that. lol
it is because those rap and all the thugs and what not. even meets "brothers" who said "blacks dont do frank sinatra shit or rock and roll". huh? apologized to Nat King Cole and Jimmi Hendrix, imbeciles!
He looks like the kindest most gentle person, his mum must be so proud of her son.
He is. Graduated with with Willie (we called him Trey) I run into him here and there. Truly a great guy
I don't even like this kind of music but he totally made me enjoy this song. Props.
Is it weird that after 2 years i cant get over my passion for this guy and this audition?
you are not weird hon!
It's been a decade and still love this.
That how I feel after 12 years
so cool to see a black beautiful guy with country swag his low notes are so dawn goood
hugo de blois
Fes Y you just can't enjoy good music
Fes Y Ey yo go back tah yo Black Beatles music yo!

ACID Ruthless omg stop hating

Probably the most of the audience didn't expect he'd sing a country song. Very nice!
I don't like country, but he can sing.
Same here

I'm not a big country fan either but this was good.
I don't like his singing but I like country music.
Donavan o'Brein stop hating you fat bitch

His lower register was incredible!! His higher version not so good here but if has kept on going and hasn't given up since he was voted off the live shows I bet by now that's incredible! He is definitely talented!
Omg one of the best and most surprising auditions ever I've watched this like 15 times

+Azza Bouzidi Tu es*
DOESN'T ANYONE REMEMBER CHARLIE PRIDE? ....yes, i'm yelling......he was one of my dad's favorite country stars......we white!

His voice is just magical. I keep coming back!
He has such a nice attitude. I can see him making an album someday. Good luck
Loads of love from Oz! Perfect performance and what a well brought up young man!
The low notes are goals 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This never gets old, what a voice on this little cutie :)
I love the smile he put on Britney's face,but then he puts a smile on all of our faces!
definetly the best audition any x factor around the world has ever seen . what ever happened to willie jones ? destined to be a star x
*dies laughing at everyone face when the country music started*
Lol the faces were just so priceless. I LOVED this.
He has talent on his own. Beautiful singer and song.
One of the best auditions ever

Glad i wasnt the only one 😃
Same..
I feel so racist but I did too
vutex gb me too oopsies
Absolutely love this! Willie Jones! Perfect name for him! Best I have ever heard at doing that kind of voice👌
OMG when he started singing I was like "OMG that's amazing, I love that!"
One of my favorite videos in youtube that never fail to visit from time to time....
Eminem and willie jones should make a song together haha
Dieva Lala Nah, Willie Jones and Nelly instead...because they're both country.
+Dieva Lala Stranger things have happened ;) ....I would listen to that
Haha! Me too!
No eminem would ruin it
Lol he's got personality
Just found these old X Factor videos as I missed them, this is a good one.
Amazing voice, love it
at first when the music came one every one was surprised but then he showed them how good he was. he is AMAZING at singing,it was so good!
Hope this young man is still singing what a cool bloke
Their reactions to his song choice bugs me! What, is every black teen boy expected to sing a specific genre? Those judges are in the industry and are supposed to be professionals. Still they stereotype and act like immature newbies just cause of his song choice. He did awesome and I just have to say him and his family have the best teeth I've ever seen!!!

I think you should be the judge
Rock N Roll Girl People do judge based on appearance - and that's not *totally* a bad thing so long as you don't use it to harm another person. Looking at his outfit, I would've guessed that he was going to sing rock or something. I don't think it's such a bad thing. If he was white their reaction would have been the same.
Rock N Roll Girl “Who's your dentist?” I want to know as well ! LOL
i just thought people were surprised how young boy would sing a low pitched song!!!
The beginning is my favourite lol everyone is stunned as was I. This was a very pleasant surprise. Great job honestly!
SO HANDSOME
His performance was great, the fact that it's a great song also helped.
You guys should see how much he's improved its quiet amazing
Loved this performance of Willie's. 👍☺️❤️
Ok, I have the lack of pleasure in living in the UK but, how can any one individual criticise this when a few thousand audience, and two industry leading music moguls are totally impressed.
Eighteen years old and what astonishing confidence for his first time on "the big stage"!
Jealousy
Cela fait exactement 28 fois que je l'écoute depuis hier soir ! Je m'en passe toujours pas !

A brother singing country music!? I thought I saw everything in guess not! Love it!
hes so handsome and charming and I freaking love his voice so so sooooooo much😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Probably one of the few country artists whose music and voice I enjoy.. Brings back some grittiness to country.
I think I'm in love 💜💜💜💜💜💜💖💖💖💗💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💟💞💝
Graduated with Willie! Glad to still call him a friend. He’ll be performing at our 10 year reunion
Britney is the only one of them that had a country background and even she was like wtf.

0:42 what a fake smile.
+andy gabriel Agreed. She was a sour puss throughout the whole song but when she realised the other judges liked him all of a sudden it was smiles all round!!! Plus I find her a tiny weeny bit racist.

Black people paved the way country music tho....like just about every other genre others try to claim. A black man invented the the banjo....especially if your a southern black person, This isn't surprising to see. People just don't know or acknowledge history.
Blacks built the Pyramids so good they forgot how they built them
lilHippo There are pyramids in Southern Sudan and Northern Nigeria. It was no fluke - ancient held techniques are still being used to this day.
Yeah Black people are very creative and inventive and 9/10 times white people just stole the creation or invention and took credit for it.
***** Yeah do the research. He wasn't technically black (from Africa, but an American Citizen) but developed the chip that made computers smaller and faster. See he didn't invent the computer, for sure, but his microchip made it possible for the common people to use computers. black man invented the super soaker too! lol
slater1ist well , at least you got some of it right.
im pretty sure that gunpowder was invented in China and slavery dates back about 8000 years and was first seen in Egypt.
