Blessington brothers Sean and Conor Price make it through X Factor Bootcamp

By Kim O’Leary

Blessington brothers Sean and Conor Price have made it through the notoriously difficult bootcamp stage on The X Factor which took place at the weekend, as reported by Independent.ie

Sean, 17, and Conor,15, from Blessington, Co Wicklow blew the judges away for their first audition which aired two weeks ago.

However, the brothers found the bootcamp phase of the competition to be particularly nerve wrecking and had to sing twice.

Having made it through the first stage which saw them compete with four other acts on stage they then had to sing in front of the judges and a crowd of 4,000 viewers.

The brothers initially sang the song “Beggin” by Madcon but the judges were unimpressed, particularly Simon Cowell. He told the brothers: “This was my least favourite performance of yours.  I didn’t like the song, I didn’t like the way you had to push your vocal so much on it.”

Conor and Sean then opted to sing Ed Sheeran’s “Sing” instead, although the judges were impressed by their performance they felt that they were still nervous.

Sean and Conor will now face the Six Chair Challenge next week where just six in each category will make it through to the judges’ houses.
