20-year-old Laura White NAILS this cover despite ILLNESS! | The X Factor Auditions

Jocelyn Brown's "Somebody Else's Guy" is a formidable audition choice, and Laura White's turn with it supplied both of The X Factor UK's new uploads this week. The official channel returned to her Series 5 introduction with a full audition post and the separately titled "She really poured her heart into this song 🥹 #XFactor #LauraWhite". These are archive returns, not a new appearance by White.

The latter was the week's most-watched new upload, reaching about 25,000 views. The full audition drew a smaller audience, giving anyone curious about the performance another route back to it.

Beyond White's pair, "NOSTALGIA FEST: ICONIC AUDITIONS from ICONIC ACTS! | The X Factor Auditions" remains the channel's busiest individual draw right now. Its appeal is partly in seeing familiar careers before they had taken shape: JLS, Olly Murs and Alexandra Burke appear alongside the separate auditions of Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall, who became Little Mix.

The channel collected roughly 1.4 million views over the week, with its subscriber total unchanged. Daily viewing is currently running nearly half above its usual level. Elsewhere in the talent-show neighborhood, The Voice is having a particularly busy day, while Britain's Got Talent is quieter than usual. Here, the fresh additions keep the focus on a single singer, with White's audition getting two places on the shelf.
