YES! The X Factor is back this weekend and along with the return of Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Louis Walsh and Mel B, we are also going to see a new batch of aspiring singers hoping to make it all the way.
Simon may have already teased us with what is on the way when he told EntertainmentWise earlier this week: "There are some crazy moments. When you're in those small rooms and you're seven or eight feet away from someone who is really bad, it's really really hard. I try to stop myself laughing but when you're so close to someone and it's really awkward", but before you settle down at 8pm to watch the show, we thought we'd offer you a comprehensive guide of which singers you should be looking out for in the first episode.
Take a look!
Blonde Electric:
These sisters are little bursts of energy who just don't stop talking either on their own or together. But when they stop chattering and start singing, they surprise everyone with their performance. One thing to note however, you may need to have some ear plugs handy when they scream...
Reece Bibby:

Reece walks into the audition with his guitar and performs his rendition of Disclosure's Latch. We're just going to say that this audition is one to watch.
Jay James:

Jay walks in and declares that the competition is "everything" to him and then he sings Say Something by Christina Aguilera and A Great Big World...
Lauren Nicole Platt:
She might only be 16-years-old but Nicole has a voice that sounds much older. And it's that voice that gets the judges attention, but will she get yours?
Amy Connolly:
For those who tuned in to the X Factor in 2008 will remember Amy who got all the way to judges houses with Cheryl. But will it be second time lucky for the singer who has come back to the show for another shot with the former Girls Aloud star?
Shayden Willis:
Shayden looks promising as he wheels in his own keyboard and starts to perform his own song...And that's all we're going to say on this...
Jale Antour:

Jale makes her entrance dressed as Cheryl circa 'Fight For This Love' and Simon just can't wait to point out the similarities between the two ladies. Oh and before we forget, she reads the lyrics to 'Fight For This Love' from a sheet of paper...
