The First Breakout Star Of This Season's X Factor: He's An American!

Filed under: Reality Television > Anglophilia > Yummy Yummy Screw > Simon Cowell

We're in love!!!

His name is Ethan Boroian. He's from Chicago, Illinois, but currently living in the UK and he just gave the best audition of the new season of Simon Cowell's X Factor.

Not only can he sing, but he's sooooo dreamy. Like, soooooo dreamy dreamy dreamy.

We have a new crush!

Ethan Boroian definitely has that special "X Factor"!

Check out his audition to the Kings of Leon's Use Somebody (above).

Perez… dont gaynetize him
coninbrum says – reply to this

209

He's not the best audition this year, not by far…you're only saying that because he's American. Lucie Jones, Stacey Solomon and Danyl Johnson were all way better! Breakout star? Bitch please.

breakout? that is not a breakout star, there have been better people on the show over the past few weeks, his voice wasn't even that strong, definitely needs work!

That really wasn't the best this year, it was one of the more average ones.

EVERYONE SHOULD SUPPORT MY FRIEND DANYL JOHNSON!!!! PEREZ YOU'RE A JOKE, I LOVE YOU BUT DANYL WAS CLEARLY THE FIRST BREAKOUT STAR, HE HAD THE WHOLE LAST 10MINUTES OF THE FIRST EPISODE AND EVEN SIMON COWELL SAID IT W AS PROBABLY THE BEST FIRST AUDITION HE'S EVER SEEN.

DANYL TO WIN
XfactorFiend says – reply to this

221

WHAAAAAAAT????? I'm sorry, have you not seen Danyl Johnson???? He wipes the floor with this poor boy-with everyone. Gorgeous and super-talented, Danyl Johnson to win. This gut looks the part but his audition? Far from mind-blowing.Fine.Passable.Hmmmmm mediocre even???
Lioux says – reply to this

222

He's not all that Perez, there are amazing people on the x factor this year!
He's shit in comparison to others! You're only saying this cos he's hot and American.
ice says – reply to this

223

He is very handsome and cute .. but far away from being the best audition!!
cuttie_c says – reply to this

224

gosh perez you know so little…this wasn't the best audition…not by a long shot!
tootielou says – reply to this

225

ok #1, KOL is my favorite band…has been for 6 years. #2, that guy IS pretty hot. with that being said, that audition was not impressive what-so-ever. thumbs down. you have to have an amazing voice to back up good looks…not an "okay" voice.
britbird says – reply to this

226

Ok so the guy was good not as good as Danyl Johnson but he was good. My issue is with the X Factor itself. Firstly when those people perform on stage its NOT there 1st audition its there 3rd thats y when someone is told they are shit they are so gobsmacked and argue they choose shit for comedy value and really good for the live shows. Also the cheering at the beginning of the show when dermot says Were in London and shows the crowd cheering they are miming its all rigged i am disappointed with the whole thing half of these winners where r they now eh? (Leona Lewis excluded)
LaurenGuy101 says – reply to this

227

anyone else think he looks a tiny bit like Enrique Iglesias? which is a very, VERY good thing
lolzordz says – reply to this

228

you're only saying he's the best ’cause he's american. There have been so many better contestants.
TMM says – reply to this

urm, check out daniel johnson. Blows this dude straight out the water and back to illinois
Chris1985 says – reply to this

231

Yes he was ok, but no way is he a breakthrough star. Also Jamie Archer in week 2 who sang Sex on Fire was 100 times better. People only like this lad because he's good looking, if he was ugly he would just be an average singer. Also its bloody unfair how an Americans can apply for X Factor and we cant apply for Idol. Now all we're gonna hear is people like Perez banging on about there citizen in our show. Don't get me wrong I love Americans and the US. But I don't think its fair on our home grown talent.

He is a horendous singer, there was absolutely no talent their, and i dont think he was very cute either, he looked like a bear…

So basically i pretty much doubt he'll win cause his singing sucks
dajloesque says – reply to this

235

Just a pretty face and he's only being mentioned by you Perez cos he's wayyyyyy out of your league.
Ellaaaaa says – reply to this

"I have to question the character of a man who attacks others on such deeply personal levels, without provocation and for self-benefit, monetary or otherwise….If he's emotionally incapable of exhibiting even the tiniest bit of compassion for closeted people, if he can't be sensitive to the fact that coming out is a very personal decision and that the process can be difficult for some — especially celebrities — I feel sorry for him. If his juvenile behavior is his shtick, I think it makes him a much more pathetic figure, and one the gay and lesbian community should not support…If we support behavior like Hilton's, we applaud shallowness, arrogance, rage and invasion of privacy, and risk becoming what we despise."

Nah P, best audition has been from the teacher guy in the first episode, this guy was good, and hott, but not as good as some others.

Just because he's cute, doesn't mean he's good; I thought you could recognize real talent Perez, this one's a let-down.

Marc_London says – reply to this

253

The first episode had the breakout star, Danyl. I predict BIG!
DeesBees says – reply to this

254

Ok, so he was great, but I think it's nonsense that the rules of American Idol state that you must be a US citizen yet X Factor gets people from all over the world competing in it. Not really fair I don

The key word there being AMERICAN….. whining is never a cute look

Re: Chicago Girl 05 –
If that's how you speak to people for your own state, how would you deal with the rest of the world??

BS Perez.. just cos he is a Yank God you are pathetic.

He was NOWAYS the best act male or female on XF this year, which has some very high standards for a change.. and none of them American

You Obviously havent been watching it, There was danyl johnson There was Olly Murs! gosh there has been loads!
samanthaiam says – reply to this

261

You've got to be kidding. i was expecting this guy to have an amazing voice… He totally MURDERED "Use Somebody"!! His voice does not have nearly the range or power that Caleb has… what a f-ing disgrace!!! He is good looking but that's about all he's got.

Hes Dreammmmyyyyyyyy…………
buttcrackcheese says – reply to this

263

A guy like that would never have sex with you Mario. Your best bet is to find a cheap whore who might let you suck their dick as long as you provide a blind fold. Nobody could hold a boner and look at your disgusting pig face at the same time.

Madonna Merges Express Yourself & Born This Way! MDNA Rehearsal Video HERE!

Prepare to be amazed!

We all thought it, but Madonna did it!

Some sneaky sis (or bro!) took a little behind-the-scenes video of Madonna's MDNA tour rehearsal in Tel Aviv this weekend and has shared some incredible footage!

Part of Madge's setlist is her iconic homage to self-love, Express Yourself, but in her 2012 version, she is spicing it up by mashing it with Lady GaGa's similar anthem, Born This Way.

Yeah, you're not going to want to miss this!

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to hear Madonna sing BOTH Express Yourself and Born This Way!

We're. In. AWE!!!
