Comment transcript:
(Hollie starts to sing "You've Got The Love" but is stopped by Simon after 2 lines.)
SC: Hollie, I've heard so many girls sing that song. What else have you got?
Hollie: I've got "At Last".
SC: Forget it.
Hollie: "Crazy" Gnarls Barkley?
SC: No.
Hollie: "Creep"?
SC/LW (same time): Yeah.
GH: Wow.
SC: Yeah.
(Hollie sings "Creep".)
SC: Cheryl?
CC: That was my favourite audition of the day.
LW: Hollie, I like your energy, I like your song choice, I like your vibe, and like the words of the song, I think you're special.
Hollie: Thank you very much, thank you.
GH: You're the first person today that I...I've looked at and thought, 'yeah, you could be a pop star'. And it's fantastic, I really enjoyed it.
Hollie: Oh my God, thank you so much.
SC: Hollie, I mean, I stopped the first song because I, I quite liked it but I've just heard it so many times. I love this song, I've never heard a girl sing it before, I was very impressed with you - I like you. But now we don't have a clue. Louis, what did you think?
LW: Hollie Burns, a hundred per cent yes.
Hollie: Thank you!
SC: Geri?
GH: Yes, definitely.
SC: Cheryl?
CC: You just made this competition exciting; it's a 'yes' from me.
SC: Hollie, you are representing Scotland. You're through to the next round.
Hollie: Oh, thank you so much, thank you!
GH: She was really good wasn't she?
SC: Yeah.
KH: Hollie Burns.
LW: She was the best today for me.
KH: Oh really?
LW: She was the best person.
KH: Out of everyone?
LW: By a mile.
SC: I kind of take credit for that. I stopped her singing what she was singing, then I got her to sing something which, y'know, you haven't heard a girl sing before.
GH: She was the most authentic artist that we saw today, that was in her own original...
SC: So I do take kind of credit for that.
