The “X Factor UK” hosts a lot of talent, but recent contender Sam Black might just be the next thing.
With his stunning voice and vibrant personality – let alone his good looks – it seems like this singer’s not going anywhere soon.
Although Sam is an amazing singer, it wasn’t originally his choice to audition for the “X-Factor.” In fact, his girlfriend actually applied for him because she wanted him to pursue his true love: singing. Even though he was hesitant to perform, he got up on stage in front of the judges and delivered a stunning performance of the ’60s song “Runaround Sue.”
Since Sam is only 27 years old, this song choice may come as a surprise. But, as Sam explained during his audition, he grew up listening to ’60s music. It’s obvious that he has a passion for this kind of music after the performance he delivered.
Luckily, all of the judges were big fans of his acapella performance.
Judge Nicole Scherzinger danced along to Sam’s performance almost the whole time, clearly enjoying the young singer’s music and style. The other judges all made positive comments about the singer’s performance while offering him some helpful advice. Simon, though explaining that Sam was clearly talented and passionate, pointed out that the singer just had to find the right direction. Even so, all four judges passed Sam on to the next round of the competition, meaning that his new fans will have something to look forward to for a while.
All over the internet and social media, people are talking about this new young star and commenting on his good looks. That’s understandable with his light eyes, messy hair, and casual style. He is sure to be a favorite for weeks to come as the competition heats up. Let’s just hope that his girlfriend doesn’t mind all the extra competition he’s going to be getting from the crowds.
Sam came to the audition with his girlfriend, Emma, and their 1-year-old son, Mason.
He said their relationship went very fast. After they met, they traveled around Thailand together. On the trip, Emma found out she was pregnant, so they went home to the UK to have the baby and to get prepared for their new life together. During an interview, Sam mentioned that they had to grow up fast after having their child.
However, the two seem very happy together. Emma, smiling and holding her and Sam’s son, watches as her boyfriend performs the song he prepared for the event. During his interview before his audition, Sam sneakily told the camera that he was planning on marrying his girlfriend, Emma, but didn’t mention any details.
Later in the show, though, Sam Black officially made a move and took himself off the market for good.
Grateful that his girlfriend pushed him toward his dream, he proposed to her live on-stage after the show. She, of course, said yes (who wouldn’t?) and Simon gave the couple a thumbs-up to congratulate them.
No matter what happens with the competition, Sam Black’s new fans can at least be excited for his upcoming marriage and starting a new family with his beautiful girlfriend. However, something tells us that Sam Black’s not going to be going anywhere soon. With his signature good looks, trendy style, and strong voice, he’s likely to be a contestant for quite a while.
