Steve Brooksteins 1st and 2nd audition

[CPFCGibbo]

This is so much better than others, auditionees don't play up for an audience or anything, they are just themselves

[Ellythrion]

I love how much more real and unmanipulated the auditions seem in the first few series - it seems more like a genuine documentary and reflection of what happened in the process as opposed to the overly produced, hyperbolic nature of later years.

[RachelNo1mjfan88]

he's got a lovely soulful voice :), got his albums :).Love his song 'Butterflies' xD

[missscrapgirl]

(hes from mitcham)

[missscrapgirl]

GOOOOO MITCHAM!!!!!!!!!!! WOOO!

[shieldsguy]

I Think Steve has an amazing talent i agree with what Tarastar said about having soul in his voice if anyone remembers he was a contestant on the Big Big Talent show he won his heat and came second in the Big Big Talent show Final he was a deserving winner on the x factor I bought his cd dance with my father it was brilliant

[Charsiupao]

He really needs to work on his body language and manners. In my company we've hired a few people with great skills but with body language like this and none of them lasted long. He looked so much better at the end of X-Factor when he could at least stand still. Great voice, though!

[D26J68]

i like him a lot even now!!!!

[davidmichaelb1]

All the 1D fans hating on Steve here, you're the ones that need a reality check. Steve has a great voice - Louis hasn't yet, that's why he only sings backing vocals. Steve won with over 6million votes because he has a wicked voice. End of.

[KT926]

What song was his first audition?

[rockguitar2012]

He has a great voice, shame his career hasn't been as successful as some other x factor winners, but then good on him for breaking away from Simon's record label and focusing on his own original music.

[thebirdisblue]

He's brilliant

[sunnygirly2k4]

What is up with Sharon? Why was she so bitchy towards him? Nice to watch this again and he had a lot of potential.

[GC0020]

Steve had every right to criticise Simon Cowell because of the way Steve was treated while with Sony BMG. X Factor doesn't transform every contestant's lives, so it's not a very good show.

[urock200]

i agree with the person below me

[ungelbertpendo]

he only sounds lower in standard because hes singin solo in a small room without a mic!

[rahulm1987]

he is singing 'with' a mic above his head.... the mic is actually handeled by a guy. it is not shown in on camera....

[ITIMBERLANDI]

he its a pretty good jazz singer now ^_^

[bm5956]

steve, why did she say you are not what you seem, did you upset her or is she aware of something about you

[XxLauraTamayoxX]

when he sings he sounds a bit like a black person lol, very good

[Tarastar1983]

Ok...that's a lil stereotypical. Doesn't really matter what colour he is. (I am black btw) He has soul in his voice and that's all that matters.

[themrduragss]

@Tarastar1983

Who are you trying to impress uncle tom?

[stevebrookstein]

I actually liked Sharon, at the Brits she said that she thought I didn't like her. Sad, just bad communications. I regret not being able to get on with her.

[alongcamesummer]

You must be the only person to have entered the audition room 3 times in one series lol, btw dont worry bout not getting on with Sharon I think she finds it hard to get on with herself sometimes!!!!!!!

[tiibbo]

@stevebrookstein dude, is it really you? I am absolutely blown away. Spend enough time on youtube and you will start meeting celebrities.

[GBJ83]

@stevebrookstein im sorry you didnt make it, guess you were crap...however i agree with your comments about xfactor in general especially 1direction

[alexjoeyking81]

He has a good voice, but he has taken an ounce of speed for his nerves, and it bloody shows!!!

[xxxjessrules01xxx]

he wos ok

[n6ikos]

1:13-1:15 yay or nay !!! SOOOO SWEET FACE !!! LOVE HIM

[boydie40]

yeah sharon was a cunt to him and actually helped him win giving hiom the sympathy vote in the final. He seemed a really nice guy actually and good

[VikkiFruit]

thats a bit harsh isnt it, but in actual fact she hated him in the live shows, she was very mean to him just b4 he won!

[dabrat80]

They said he didn't believe he could win. But when other contestants come across with lack of confidence they are just told to believe in themselves and put through.

[thecakequeen]

sharon liked him here, why was she soo horrible to him on all the shows?

[ImBurblee]

i love simon when he's like "oh, can we get him back?" lol

[Zecalran]

yea man you don't fuck with soul.

it's all about the stereotype. white people some do have soul e.g Elvis wasn't really accepted for what he was until his death.

The world is not as clever as it think.

[20thabizz08]

xoxodabratxoxo what r u on about he is amazing, a great singer and he deserved to win. i had so much respect for sharon until she sed all tht about steve.

[aderitson]

I really liked this bloke! I did.

N chance he got his name shud be more known than it is

[mahditherasta]

so whats it say? a yey or ney lol

[crumpet68]

What a great guy and a great singer.

[sange62]

If you followed the 1st X factor, boot camp and the live finals you wouldn't need to ask that.

He won because he has a great voice, great look- in fact, the X factor, natural, consistent talent!

[sange62]

Steve- you had a narrow escape- Louis said he wasn't sure of your package!

[sange62]

Thanks so much for this Sookas... can't get enough of that Stevie Stuff!

[stevebrookstein]

ps. thanks for putting this up, brings back good memories!

Why am i so misunderstood? :( lol

[stevebrookstein]

LOL...Louis said I was 'soulful' on the show he said ' i sounded like a pub singer'

the politics of The X Factor!

[crumpet68]

brought back a lot of memories thank you any thing Steve does is great .Brenda

[floramargarine]

We have been looking everywhere for these interviews every since the final. Thank you so much, don't suppose you have any of the little interviews during the course of the show do you?

[Trix71]
