_ _ [C] _ Outside, the hopefuls continue to arrive.
And next up is one person who's desperate to impress the judges.
It's 18-year-old Joseph McKeldry.
Hi, good morning.
Welcome to the X Factor.
What's your [D] name?
Joseph McKeldry.
My name's Joe.
I'm 18 years old and I'm from [Am] South Shields.
I only [G] started singing about four years ago, [C] just on a karaoke, found out I could sing.
[G] But singing karaoke to a small crowd in South Shields
is [D] a far cry from the two and a half thousand people Joseph is about to [Am] face today.
[G] I like entertaining people and seeing that people are enjoying me singing.
[D] Hello, mate.
How you doing?
You alright?
[Am] What's your name?
Joe.
Joe.
[G] Nice to meet you.
Hi.
[C] _ _ [G] Literally, they're filing in like the Von Trapp family.
[C] My parents are really, [Am] really supportive and my [G] big dream is to make [C] them proud.
Good luck, mate.
In you go.
Thank you.
_ [G] Today's really important for me [C] because [F] this audition today could change me life.
_ [Am] _ [G] With dreams of making his [C] family proud, Joe takes his place on stage for his [G] big moment.
Hello.
[Gm]
How you doing?
[Eb] Hey, I'm fine.
Are you?
Yeah, good.
What's your name?
I'm [Db] Joe.
And who have you got with you here [G] today?
Oh, the whole family.
The whole lot.
Where did you get the performing from?
I don't really know actually.
I kind of just stumbled across me voice.
_ Just got up on a karaoke one night and just give it a go.
Where are [N] you from, Joseph?
South Shields.
I thought.
_ _ _ _ Nice to hear a [G] familiar voice.
Yeah.
What are you going to sing?
Dance with my Father, Luther Vandross.
Tough song to [Eb] sing.
Why did you choose it?
I've kind of grew up listening to Luther Vandross because me mum likes that kind of music.
It's a nice song.
I just like singing it.
Okay.
Look, most importantly, this is your two minutes and I really hope it goes well for you, Joseph.
Thank you.
Good luck.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
Back when I [F] was a child
_ [Eb] _ _
Before life removed [F] all the [Bb] innocence
My father [F] would lift me high
[Eb] _
And dance with my mother [F] and me
[Bb] Spin me around [Eb] till I fell
_ [Ebm] Then up the stairs he [Bb] would carry me
[C] And I knew for sure I [F] was _ loved
[Bb] I could dance [F] another dance
_ [Gm] Another walk, [Eb] another dance [Cm] with him
I'd play a song that [Gm] would never ever end
How [Eb] I'd love, love, love
To dance [F] with my father [Bb] again
_ _ [Eb] _ Sometimes I'd listen [F] outside the door
_ [Bb] To Daddy, Ha, Mama
[Gm] I'd forget it for him
[Cm] I'd pray for her [F] even more than _ me

_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
I'd sing a song that [Em] _ would never ever end
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ I'd play a song that would never ever [C] end
