Bicknacre teenager James Graham has sailed through to the boot camp round of ITV's X Factor on tonight's (September 13) edition of the popular singing show.
The 17-year-old, who counts his mum as his biggest fan, wowed the four judges with his rendition of Adele's "I can't make you love me" on the show filmed at Wembley Arena.
The former-Sandon school pupil has been practising for the ITV show by singing at Rettendon-based recording studios A. T Music and received four yes votes from the judges.
Notoriously hard-to-please Simon Cowell said: "You could hear a pin drop in here.
"You might be the dark horse in this competition."
Whilst former spice girl, Mel B, added: "This is what X Factor is about."
