The judges, especially the females, didn’t often feel confuse about their contestant so Joseph Whelan should be flattered.
The 26-year-old tool salesman manages to cause quite a stir when he auditioned in Manchester, and Judge Melanie Brown didn't hide her feelings for him.
'You smashed it. You're really hot, you've got great tattoos, you smash thing up with tools and then you sing! Done!' she told Whelan after his rendition of Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love.
'Oh my god, what a voice and what a tone you have,' Tulisa Contostavlos told him. 'Gary's gonna start getting jealous as you're going to be getting all the female attention.'
However, the Take That star didn't seem to mind if Joseph get all the girls and Gary even claimed he enjoyed his performance.
Louis Walsh added: 'You've got an authentic rock voice.'
Joseph told the panel that the reason he joined the ITV reality show to be able to provide the best life possible for his son.
After the tool salesman got a foursome of yes' from the judges, Joseph's son ran on stage so that he could hug his father, making him emotional as well as the judges.
'He's so likeable, he's one to watch,' Louis said once after he left the stage.
Another male contestant who manages to impressed the judges is lifeguard Jake Quickenden, who sang his own version of Kings of Leon's Use Somebody.
'I love your voice, I love your image, I thought it was a great song choice for your audition today, you were fantastic well done,' Gary told him.
Though, the two males succeeded to go to the next round, it was full-time mother, Melanie Masson who got a standing ovation from the crowd and the panel.
Masson got some good comments from all of the judges after singing her version of Janis Joplin's Cry Baby.
'I started singing in bands from the age of 15,' she told them before performing. I used to sing all over Glasgow, then I had two wonderful children who are my absolute life, but I still have dreams that I’ve yet to fulfill.
'Melanie that was insane, oh my god that voice, you were guiding us through the song. It was amazing, it really was,' Gary told her after her performance.
Tulisa agreed, saying: 'You came on stage, and you seemed really gentle and then all of a sudden this fire and this soul and this diva came out of you. You owned that stage you absolutely rocked it - that is how you do an audition. Amazing.'
With guest judge, Anastacia adding: 'You're never too old to have a record deal.'
