Because sometimes you need that as a kid and especially, actually even as adults, you know, in a situation where you're second guessing something, as soon as someone goes, go on, you can do it, you're okay.

So I think that definitely played a big role in that.

Even if I suggested that I wasn't going to go to this audition,

Throughout the year, she would have been giving me a hundred different reasons to go.

Now, not literally, but just from a confidence point of view, the way that she was talking to me, how she always used to put me on this amazing pedestal.

She made me feel like I could do anything, definitely.

And I think that...

that helps in those kind of situations.

Going for it for a third time, because my mum's saying I can do it, so maybe I can.

So you do the audition where you sing, Make You Feel My Love.

That was boot camp.

So that was the second part of the audition.

My first audition was a song called Hey There Delilah.

It did nothing for me, like, sonically.

Like, obviously now I can say this because I've got a bit more experience, but as a young lad, you're not thinking about any of these things.

It was just, I like that song, I'll sing that song.

It was bad.

It was really, really bad.

And to the point where, like, it still makes me deeply uncomfortable, like, listening to or watching that audition.

The only thing I'd done like this is the school production of Grease, and that was to about 250 people over two nights.
