AUDITIONS WITH BRUNO MARS

REED DEMING SAILS THROUGH ‘X FACTOR’ AUDITIONS WITH BRUNO MARS’ ‘GRENADE’

The season premiere of ‘X Factor‘ is pretty deep into the first hour, and we’ve only seen one person get four consecutive yes’s to make it to the next round. So will 13-year-old Reed Deming be the next to get a “yes?”

Well, when we first met Reed, it was clear he resembled that of an already pretty famous guy. You may have heard of him, his name is Justin Bieber, and the contestants in the contestant holding room of the show picked up on the similarity instantly. They hollered out “Justin!” they sat down to talk about how he has the same hair as Bieber, the kid even dressed like Biebs, but, uh… don’t call him Justin Bieber, okay?

Any young teenager embarking on an audition of this stature deserves some credit. So when Reed started the first few lines of Bruno Mars‘ ‘It Will Rain,’ we were pleasantly surprised. But then his runs started heading towards the “terrible” territory, and Simon Cowell literally stopped the music.

“Do you have anything more stripped down?” asked the judge. When Reed mentioned he had a piano only version of Mars’ ‘Grenade,’ Cowell allowed the audition to continue. The cheshire grin that accompanied Cowell’s face was priceless, and all that was missing was a mustache for him to twirl.

Of course, L.A. Reid compared him to Bieber, Demi Lovato thought he was good, and Britney Spears found him so adorable she just had to say yes. And just like that, Reed received four yes’s and made it to the next round.

Bruno Mars To Release New Album In October?

Although Bruno Mars may have been a bit on the quiet side recently, Mars fans fear not as the ‘Grenade’ singer has hinted that he’ll be returning to the world of music very, very soon. Exciting stuff!

Ever the 'mysterious' one, the singer has taken to Twitter to simply tweet the word ‘October’ in individual letters over several posts, sending his fans wondering exactly what it coming in October.

Bruno has been busy working away in the studio on his upcoming album, which is set to be the follow-up to his debut success ‘Doo Wops & Hooligans’ and he’d already warned fans earlier on in the year that he’d be disappearing for a while to work on his next musical conquest.

He’d also recently revealed that he was around ‘halfway done’ on the record and has continued to tease fans on the social networking site over the past few weeks.

Are you excited to see Bruno make his big comeback??

Meanwhile, Bruno’s love life has always been kept on the ‘down low’, however we managed to find out a bit of gossip about his private life recently, when it was revealed that the first’ love of his life’ was the one and only Rita Ora.

Putting the gay rumours to bed, it looks as though the 'Grenade' singer bagged himself a hotty when they were both unknowns. Rita revealed that the pair met after Bruno was hired to perform tracks for her Roc Nation debut.

Talking to The Sun, she said: "It was love at first sight, such a great experience. We met in 2009. I was 18 and starting out at Roc Nation. Bruno was unknown back then too."

She continued: "He was a struggling songwriter hired to write songs for me. I thought, 'Wow, that's just the world's greatest guy!"
