He may well go down in X Factor history as the actย who reduced Simon Cowell to tearsย โ but hopeful Josh Daniel almost opted for a different song altogether at his audition.
Speaking to the Mirror Joshโs friend Kerrianne Covell โ who reached the judgesโ houses stage of the ITV series in 2014 โ revealedย that heโd actually had his eye on another track, but chose to sing Labrinthโs Jealous after performing it for her and friend Liv Quantrill.
โJosh was going to sing Kiss Me Quick by Nathan Sykes,โ Kerrianne recalled.
โWe were in the dance studio and Liv said โI donโt think thatโs the song. What are your other song choices?โ
However, the pair managed to change his mind after being blown away by a performance which saw him kneeling on the floor to sing.
