21-year-old X Factor hopeful Kash – nicknamed by friends as ‘Flash Kash’ – pleads with the judges for a second audition in tonight’s show. The singer, who appears at the Cardiff auditions with guest judge Pixie Lott, asks the panel to sing something a capella after a lukewarm response to his first performance.

Speaking before performing, Kash says: “I’m a sales executive and other people would probably perceive me as a flash guy by the car that I drive which is obviously a BMW, a white BMW convertible. I’ve got diamond earrings in, they’re not real but obviously they’re white gold. I’ve got some sunglasses – River Island never went wrong anywhere.”

He adds: “Image is part of it but you’ve got to deliver with the voice too. There are those people out there who make things happen or there are those people who wait for things to happen. I’m the type of person that wants to make things happen and that’s why I’m here at X Factor today.”

However after performing Ne-Yo’s ‘Closer’, the judges aren’t convinced, with Cheryl telling him: “I wasn’t really feeling it to be honest with you.”

Guest judge Pixie Lott adds: “I don’t know what to say to that to be honest. You didn’t really stay in time with the track, erm I’m a little bit speechless.”

Kash pleads with the panel to sing again a capella – but will they allow it?
