X Factor UK: Anastacia cries over emotional audition

Anastacia (The X Factor 2012)

X Factor 2012 guest judge Anastacia was left in tears at yesterday’s auditions by an emotional performance.

One young male singer dedicated his performance – a cover of Sarah McLaughlin’s In The Arms Of an Angel – to his gran.

The budding performer explained how his 90-year-old relative was currently battling breast cancer.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the audience as the youngster sung the track, with all the judges rather teary eyed as well.

Anastacia told him: “You made this whole audition very special.”

Auditions in Glasgow yesterday also saw the return of Jade Richards, who had a similar impact on the panel last year.
