Last night, we bid farewell to X Factor’s season two auditions, but the night would not have been complete without ANOTHER AH-Mazing performance!

As we saw with Freddie Combs earlier, Greensboro really impressed the judges with the hopefuls that came through!

16-year-old Lauren Jauregui quickly got added to Simon Cowell’s favorites list, when she flawlessly took on Alicia Keys’, If I Ain’t Got You!

Check out Lauren’s stunningly mature voice (above), in what L.A. Reid called the “perfect audition!”

SUCH a beautiful tone!!! We are so happy the panel loved her as much as we did!

We can’t wait to hear more from her and see how she does next week during the show’s boot camp round!

Poor Simon Cowell came face to face with probably one of his BIGGEST nightmares during X Factor auditions in San Francisco!

During the last night of XF season two auds on Thursday, the gang hit up San Francisco and Greensboro, North Carolina!

Between the glitter, pigtails and super peppy attitude, 12-year-old Jordyn Foley took the stage with one of Simon’s most despised songs ever — Tomorrow from Annie!

Check out why Britney said she had an “amazing voice” but Simon couldn’t be convinced, in her audition (above)!!!

It’s like season one’s very first promo came to life! Ha!

Now, someone just needs to get Simon a pink sweater and maybe he’ll end up changing his mind about Jordyn! LOLz!

Wow, this is by far, one of THE most inspirational auditions we’ve ever seen on a reality show!

When 41-year-old, 540 lb. Freddie Combs was wheeled onstage during X Factor auditions last night, no one knew what they were about to experience.

However, as soon as the retired Tennessee minister — who, at 920 lbs. in 2009, almost died — opened his mouth to sing, it was like HEAVEN!

Check out the audition you MUST see for yourself (above)!!!

TEARS!! CHILLS!! What an absolutely phenomenal voice… it’s a shame that it has gone unheard for this long!

We LOVE the deal Simon made with him, too! We too are standing by your side, Freddie, AND believe in you!

One of the MOST talked about auditions so far this season on the X Factor was that of Gene Simmons’ daughter, Sophie Tweed-Simmons!

As we reported back in June, Sophie showed up to the show’s San Francisco auditions as an attempt to break free from her dad’s KISS frontman shadow!

So, did the 19-year-old help continue her father’s legacy or completely bomb the chance of ever having her own music career???

Check out Sophie’s audition (above), where she took a chance and covered Adele!

Oh shiz! Did you see her face when Demi recognized where she knew her from?! Oops! LOLz!

We were happy to hear that Sophie actually DID have a beautiful voice and was super humble throughout the audition, too!

Guess we’ll have to see if she ends up winning over judge L.A. Reid when bootcamp rolls around next week!

Ms. Swan? Is that you?!

When 52-year-old China-native Changyi Li took the stage during X Factor’s Providence auditions last night, she rendered everyone speechless!

…but NOT in a good way!

Her cringeworthy, creeptastic performance of Celine Dion's, My Heart Will Go On, was surely enough to sink the Titanic, according to Mr. Cowell!

Check out Demi awkwardly laughing, Britney scowling in pain and Changyi belting it out during her never ending audition (above)!!

Oh boy… we thought we’d never hear the end of it! LOLz!

And whoa! Look at Brit Brit living up to her Queen of Mean title — though, covered up in Southern sweetness, of course! Ha!

Britney Spears threw DOWN last night on X Factor!

We have now entered into the very last week of XF auditions, with Wednesday night’s episode covering more of Greensboro, San Francisco and Providence, Rhode Island!

Greensboro’s Nick Youngerman made everyone STOP! Collaborate and listen! … when he took the stage with Vanilla Ice’s iconic 1990 classic!

Check out Britney (above) getting up out of her seat and shaking that oh so sculpted booty of hers!

Nooooo, Simon! Let Brit Brit keep on dancing 'Til The World Ends! Nick CLEARLY grabbed a hold of her tightly! Ha!

The competition always needs someone who can keep the energy levels up and Nick seems like the perfect fit!

Nicole Scherzinger might’ve gotten cut from X Factor US, but it seems she’ll be sticking around on the UK’s version… that is, if Sharon Osbourne has anything to do with it!

Sharon, who had judged XF UK from ‘04 to ‘07, finally made her return this past weekend as a guest mentor!

While helping out Louis Walsh during the judges’ houses round, Sharon took the opportunity to address the rubbish that's been floating around about former Pussycat Doll, Nicole!

The outspoken Osbourne recently took credit, stating:
