The X Factor

A friend was lucky enough to get 6 tickets

to the

Melbourne Auditions

today ..I dont watch the show

but thought the kids would like it.

We  - me Mad & Seb, Michele Ruby & Jed,

headed off on the 7.48am train to Melbourne,

we then headed to Hisense Arena.

we were in line  in the foyer by 9.40am...

and we waited..and waited...and waited...

lucky we had bottles water and snacks with us ..

Finally at 12 a "warm up guy" came out

and did his thing, then the Host

Luke Jacobz

 did some audience camera shots with us all..

we were right in front of him..the hair you

can see is Rubys ..

the boys were on camera quite a few times with

their dancing, so maybe we might

see them on t.v

After the filming done, we were let in..

BUT ...it was a mistake ... 50 or so of us were

then stuck in the middle of the foyer again..

we waited ..and waited ...again ..

this time we were close to the toilets

and able to go buy a $4.90 bucket of chips !!

finally at 1.30 were finally got seated ...

the show started at 2pm ...

no photos allowed inside but got these few ..

some very strange, weird and talented singers

in the auditions ..

Saw Mel B - Scary Spice, Guy Sebastian, Natalie Bassingthwaighte

& Ronan Keating as judges ..

We left at 5.30 , it was still going but we needed

to get home..

which we did at 8.40pm ..

long but good day out ...
