Daniel Evans stuns Judges with emotional performance! ｜ The X Factor Auditions

I'm only just beginning to see the real you. And sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much. And I have to close my eyes and hide. I want to hold it till I die. Till we both break down and cry. As the last few contestants are called to see the judges, everyone in the holding room is hoping that today could be the start of a brand new life. And waiting for his big moment is 38-year-old father of three, Daniel, who's here with his mum and his youngest daughter, Anna Maria. My name is Danny Evans. I'm 38 years old. And at the moment I'm a pool cleaner. But I'm kind of trying to do whatever I can, really, just to get by at the moment. What brings you here today, actually? Well, it's a kind of a wish that my wife always had. And my family always drive me crazy to come up here. But I never seen the form of it. It was my wife who used to pressure me to do it. What I've come to realise is life is too short, you know. And I think you regret more the things you don't do than the things you do. And I'm thinking, you know, if I do this, at least I can say to my wife, like, I tried, you know. And of course for my daughter as well. If I could have a career, you know, that could look after my family and push forward in something that they know I love, to do something like that for my family would be amazing. Hello, sir. How are you doing? Alright, thank you. What's your name? My name is Danny Evans. And why are you here today? It's kind of a wish of my wife. She's always pushing on at me about, you know, you should go for this, you should go for this. With this show? Yeah, with the show. And every year, you know, for the past four years, you know, I've had the forms and I've been thinking of doing it. I never got around to doing it. There was always some excuse. And unfortunately, last year, just after giving birth to my gorgeous little baby girl, my wife passed away. So now I kind of obviously learnt some harsh lessons in life and I realised that life is kind of too short. So now I decided this year, let's go for it, you know, and just least I can say I tried. Okay, and Daniel, what's the dream? The dream is to win X Factor. I mean, I'd love to. Especially for my daughter, you know, she's 11 months now and she's been like my little rock. I mean, she really has kept me going when I thought I couldn't. And to give her a better life, that's really what I want to do. Okay, Daniel, okay. I think he needs something to focus on now. He doesn't know where he belongs anymore. He asked me if I love you and I choke on my reply. I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie. And who am I to judge you on what you say or do? I'm only just beginning to see the real you. And sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much. And I have to close my eyes and hide. I want to hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry. I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides. Okay, Simon. I think you actually sang that song well. Thank you. I can see why your wife wanted you to audition. Thank you. I think she'd be very proud. Yeah, so do I. Thank you very much, thank you. Alright, Louis, yes or no? I'm going to say yes. Thanks, Louis. Cheryl? I say yes. Thanks. Danny? Yeah. You're 38. You've got a good voice. Thank you. You just got your fourth yes. I'm glad you auditioned. Thanks. Good for you. I'm sorry to upset you. Thanks, Louis. Actually, it's thanks for that. Focus on me. Don't tell Daddy. I feel like they were singing it to his wife. He was? Yeah, yeah, he was. My wife, I know she was with me in there. I know it for a fact. And I'm sure she's proud of me now. I've done it for her. And hopefully my daughter's just as proud as well.
