We were BLOWN AWAY by Stacy Francis' fist audition…. but her second audition was kinda of, meh.

Well, in this clip Stacy reveals she had a pretty decent reason for last weeks slip up: her dad passed away that morning!

Whaaat?? We're not sure how she made it out of bed that day!

We totes forgive you for going for going a little sharp, bb!!

For this week's audition, Stacy used the pain from her father's passing to inspire a spectacular performance that gets her through to the next round!!

Feel that soul? We do!

59-year-old X Factor contestant Leroy Bell REALLY stepped his game up for his bootcamp audition.

We thought his first time on stage singing Lean On Me was okay at best, but this performance is definitely a better example of his talent!

The judges shared our sentiment and Leroy moved on to the next round, but do U think he's good enough to go all the way?

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Brian Bradley!!

He's only 14 and look at all the talent he already has.

Check out the above video to hear him talk about how committed he is to his craft.

Brennin Hunt walked on that X Factor stage like he already won.

And while confidence is great, there's a fine line to watch before you crossover into arrogance!

He sang Alicia Keys If I Aint Got You, but then Simon Cowell had to cut him because…

Wll, Ull see! Pressss play!

Last week, Paula & Nicole weren't feeling this girl and we thought they were crazy!

This week, we think they would be downright INSANE if they denied this girl a spot in the competition! She's incredible!

Tiah Tolliver performed for the judges last night a raspy, beautiful song for her Bootcamp camp audition! Check out the video (above) to see how well she did!

Even Nicole couldn't help but smile!

Get it, girl!!!

Wow, Simone Battle!

One of our favorite contestants to audition for X Factor showed up to perform Your Song by Elton John for the judges at Bootcamp, and, well, check it out for yourselves (above)!

She CHOKES!

We're rooting for you, gurl, but you need to tone down the cockiness and get your head in the game!

Don't tell the judges why there's no one else out there like you - SHOW them!

X Factor's Bootcamp is tough for anyone, but we can't even begin to imagine how hard it would be for someone so young!

To see so many people who are older, more experienced. It has to be so difficult!

Well, if it is, Rachel Crow barely shows it — and she went out there and definitely killed a rendition of If I Were A Boy.

Wow. She definitely is one talented kid, but we're not convinced she has what it takes to rise above the experience of the other contestants and win! We'll see!

Good luck, Rachel!

There's something special about this girl! She has a lot soul and a lot of power.

Last night, Drew Ryniewicz performed again for the judges at Bootcamp and she proved that she had every right to be in this competition, even at the tender age of 14!

Ch-ch-check out her Bootcamp audition (above)!

Do you thang, honey!
