We get a preview of the 4-Chair Challenge. They say television auditions will never be the same again! Oh is that so, Simon & Co?

MELANIE WRIGHT, 48 is up first

-She has been a paralegal for 28 years and wants to do what's been in her heart and soul! She wants to win. It will mean everything! I'm already sensing she will be a joke act. Smh. She's singing "Titanium."

-Yes. Joke act. Next. Why do they let them sing so much and its so bad? PauCharro is already getting on my nerves..it's 8:06. I have no time. She gets four 'No's and exits stage left.

OKSANA MAMCHUR, 36, is up next 

- She is a dentist originally from Ukraine. Another joke. Bye. Luckily they don't spend a whole segment just on her. PauCharro tried to be funny but it didn't turn out that well.

8:10

Several more joke acts follow. Zzzzzz.

EMERY KELLY, 15, is up next (view performance)
- He wants to be the next Justin Bieber and One Direction. He looks like he could be in a boy band. Demi instantly calls him Bruno Mars as PauCharro seated beside her continues to do the most. He sings "I Won't Give Up"
- Interesting voice. It's not really that strong. Let me take that back. It's alright it's just not too special. He does have a rasp but I don't know. He's not just compelling to me at all. Simon calls him an unpolished diamond and he can grow. He gets 4 greenlights and goes through!

KHAYA COHEN, 15, is up next (view performance)

- Khaya sings "I Love You I Do" from Dreamgirls. She's a bit nervous. The judges don't really know what to make of her to begin with. I really like her voice though! She definitely needs training. Simon and Kelly say the song is wrong. But y'all said Emory Kelly was amazing!?!? C'mon.

- She now sings "I Put A Spell on You" by Nina Simone. She has some control and pitch issues, but her tone is sooooooo great! She's definitely raw talent, not like the plants we've seen before. The judges end up giving her a standing ovation say she is what they've been waiting for! PauCharro fails to channel Shakira. Simon says her tone reminds him of Adele and Amy Winehouse. Kelly wants to get to a vote - and they all say yes! #TeamKhaya! Demi predicts to see her in the finals.

JOSEPH, 19, is up next

- My joke act senses are tingling. He has a very high pitched voice. They think he is hoarse so he comes and drinks some of Simon's water. He's singing Demi's "Skyscraper."

- Not only are my joke act senses tingling, but my ears are as well. Don't clog airtime with this! They don't really clown him too much though. They say he should do voiceover. Kelly says "Do you know how much Dora the Explorer make!?" LOL that was so ratchet. They tell him he is adorable and unique, but say the competition is not for him and good things will happen after this.

JAMES KENNEY, 35, is up next (view performance)

- He is a working family man! He auditioned during season 1 as well. He has a very soul-ish voice. Like Emery, he has a good voice, but nothing is compelling. Kelly and PauCharro look so intrigued.

- Demi loves his rifts and says it was a "pretty sexy song." PauCharro is basically at a loss for words. Simon liked the brilliant song choice. He gets through! His wife and kids come on stage and PauCharro assumes they know Spanish as she cries "HOLA!" to them.

ISSAC TAUAEFA, 25, is up next

- Former college football player. He has a raspy soft voice. But not notable. However, all four judges say yes.

CHASE GOEHRING, 17, is up next

- Eh. He's not too good either. But gets all nods from the judges.

ALLISON DAVIS, 27 is up next

- Now this blue-eyed soul singer singing "I'm Going Down." Did the dang thing. Yes ma'am.

ISABEL REQUENA, 24, also sings the song, as well as ISAIAH AUSTIN, 15.

All three of them sung the song well and they all get four yes's.

DAVID GREY, 31, is up next 

- He is doing something out his element for love. He and his girlfriend do everything together so she wanted him to audition! He asks his girlfriend's father's blessing for his daughter's hand in marriage. PauCharro says he sounds in love. He has a country speaking voice but is singing "Nice & Slow" by Usher.

- So he can't sing. So he's clearly using this as an opportunity to propose. Zzzzz. So we just missed those three great performances of "I'm Going Down." BUT WE ARE GOING TO SPEND TIME ON THIS!? I AM SO INFURIATED. I don't care about a storyline on a reality television show. Let me calm down.

His girlfriend LAUREN WAGUESPACK is next.

- She's singing "Teenage Dream." THEY BOTH SUCK. OMG. Now the boyfriend returns on stage to propose as Simon calls the performance off. He says it doesn't matter what the judge say he loves her and proposes. PauCharro and the other female judges are having a fit at the table.

- The judges don't send her through. So. we. wasted. so. much. time. on. this. #ByeFelicia

TIM OLSTAD, 23, is up next (view performance)

- He is SUPER nervous. Demi just made this so awkward. He sings "A Thousand Years." Remember when Fifth Harmony killed this song last year?

- He has a really good voice and is still really nervous. His parents are backstage so proud! I'm loving the actual raw talent that is appearing this year. Still so nervous at the end and the audience gives him a standing O. Kelly says his voice came over her like a blanket of love. With Simon gone, PauCharro thinks she's leading the panel. Demi got chills and she says she gets it. PauCharro basically just says what Demi did. Amidst PauCharro using bad grammar, they send him through!

WESLEY MOUNTAIN, 19, is up next (view performance)

- He better be really good. He is in love with Kelly Rowland. Wesley is so nervous because of Kelly! LOL. Kelly says "Green is the color for you boo." He comes down to the panel and kisses her hand. I thought this would be good but my joke act senses are starting to tingle a little.

- He sings "Wanted" by Hunter Hayes. All of these voices that aren't compelling! He has a rasp too. I would never imagine him singing music like this though. I was thinking R&B. He is singing to Kelly! All the judges say yes!

CELINE POLANKY, 16, is up next

- She thinks she can win! She has a little R&B tingle in her voice singing "When You Believe." She better do it. She's sanging too. She doing the dang thing! Simon says it wasn't perfect but he sees potential and a future pop star. They are playing Cher Lloyd and T.I.'s "I Wish" in the background. She gets, as Simon says, "4 big fat yes's."

Three great girls come through, but of course we only get to see seconds of them because joke acts take up most of the time.

BREE RANDALL, 20, sings "Treasure," PRIMROSE MARTIN, 20, sings "Nobody's Perfect" and is blowing! She got a standing ovation. SUMMER REIGN, 17, sings "Impossible." The judges love it! All three go through. IT MAKES NO SENSE WHY NONE OF THEM GOT FULL SEGMENTS.

RICKEY CLARK, JR., 19, is up next

- He knows he has 'The X Factor!' He loves Kelly too! A very likable character it seems. He sings "Superstition." His voice is alright. It's not really doing much for me at all. Simon says he likes him but not his voice. He said said it sounded flat. He's right. Kelly tries to tell him that as well and says how long it took her to make it and not everything comes overnight. He seems devastated. He starts crying. PauCharro tells him to come next year. He's almost bawling. Kelly says it is a no for now as well. She runs on stage to hug him. She tells him the story about when she was denied on Star Search. She says he will learn about his voice and come back and do so much better. His tears will be temporary.

- Now this is the type of not-so-good act that that I can tolerate.

9:37

Only two judges are here, Simon and Kelly.

LORIE MOORE, 34, is up next

- She plays Women's professional football and has won the latest championship! 1st & goal - The X Factor!  Simon says she looks familiar. She tells Kelly it's always been athletics & music.

- She sings "I Have Nothing." OMG. LORIE IS SLAYING! She has such a nice and tender voice. Like really, she better work! I love Lorie!! She is going to be a major standout in the Over 25's - watch & see! As Tamar Braxton would say, she did that! Kelly said she s-a-n-g! Simon got a sense that it was more than audition, it was a performance. The reason they have no age limit is to find people like her. I'm rooting for Lorie! She goes through!

SECOND HAND HIGH, a group is up next

- They are a male/female duo. They think Simon is going to give them a good smirk. They were engaged, but are not anymore. Weird. LOL. They are singing an original. They are rapping. Eh. Next. "You like these round hips you like this fat pack?" Clearly she thought she was Cher Lloyd for a second. She's out of breath and the dude is bout to start his rap and he is out of breath too.

- Honestly, the song is catchy. Girls are twerking in the stands and Kelly is stands up and starts twerking on Simon! Simon says the song was terrible and they should change their name to Diluted. Kelly says its kind of weird - but she likes the song. LOL I AGREE. She says they did a good job constructing the chorus, its current. Demi says it was catchy but not for her. They don't go through.

9:53

- Really hate the faux random scenes. It isn't that bad though. Kelly and Demi are singing and Simon is rapping.

- That's it for the night. We wasted the end of the show. They pub the 4-Chair Challenge again.

Tune back in tomorrow for the live blog on Thursday with Nick!
