‘The X Factor’ UK preview: Barclay Beales gets Nicole Scherzinger all worked up

In the second preview video that we have for tonight’s all-new episode of “The X Factor” UK, we bring to you a man in Barclay Beales who is going to be showing off quite a bit of talent, but the question we have is this: Is the yodeling that you are about to hear just one facet of his personality, or something much more?

In the video below, you can hear Bradley perform an audition that includes quite a bit of yodeling, and it is so good that it manages to work Nicole Scherzinger up to the point where she loses her jacket and danced around. Who knew yodeling had this sort of impact on … well, anyone?

We don’t deny that the guy is pretty good at it, but we just can’t see this becoming mainstream. The thing that really has us more interested in him is his charisma above all else. He is not the best singer that we have ever heard on the show, but he is pretty good, and should at least make it through to the part of the competition where he goes up in front of a live audience.

We’ve went ahead and enclosed one of his YouTube covers below, which is basically him incorporating some of his yodeling talent into One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful.” What is nice about some of these younger contestants is that they seem to have a nice bit of footage of them online already, where you can actually get a sense of the talent they really have.

What do you think about Barclay’s audition? If you want to check out another contestant auditioning for tonight’s show, just watch the video here. We will be back with the full review later in the day.
