Sharon Osbourne, the former judge of The X Factor, recently delighted fans by recreating one of the most unforgettable auditions in the show's history. During Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in London this summer, Sharon bumped into a fan who refused to let the opportunity slip by. Armed with nothing but a phone and a dream, TikTok user Yameurr set out to make himself go viral.
His video, which reached 1.4 million views within 14 hours of posting, was inspired by a 2007 audition on the popular singing competition. In series four, a woman named Rachel walked into the audition room to perform for judges Sharon, Dannii Minogue, Louis Walsh, and Simon Cowell. However, it was her pre-song chatter that captured the hearts of viewers and has since been immortalized on YouTube and social media.
Sharon, now 71 years old, asked for Rachel's name, to which she coyly responded with a smile before looking away from the judges. When Sharon asked what she did for a living, Rachel, dressed in skinny jeans and a black crop top, revealed that she was currently living the dream of doing nothing. Sharon then asked if she sang professionally, to which Rachel confidently replied that she had been singing all her life.
When Sharon asked if Rachel thought she could win the competition, she confidently answered yes. However, unfortunately for Rachel, she didn't make it past the audition stages and the series was eventually won by Leon Jackson. But Rachel's audition remains a memorable moment for viewers.
Fast forward 17 years, Yameurr's recreation of the audition caught the attention of Sharon, who pleasantly surprised him by agreeing to reenact the audition with him. As they went through the lines, Yameurr playfully reminded Sharon of her lines and the two couldn't help but giggle as they delivered their parts.
The hilarious clip, which was posted on TikTok, received praise from fans who commended Sharon for being a true icon. One fan even wrote, "Sharon Osbourne agreeing to recreate the Rachel X Factor Audition in 2024 is exactly why this woman is an icon – dreams can come true."
Their commitment to bringing the audition back to life in 2024 was met with delight from fans, with many calling it "insane," "iconic," and "legendary." Some even wondered if Sharon realized just how iconic her actions were.
Aside from her amusing recreation, Sharon also made a statement at Taylor Swift's concert by wearing a white sweater that read "Taylor for President 2024." The red-haired star was all smiles as she posed for photos, sporting a pearl necklace and matching earrings.
