The ‘X Factor’ judges may have been baffled - and then suitably impressed - by ‘living doll’ Sada Vidoo during Sunday (4 September) night’s show, but it seems she’s not exactly a new discovery.
In actual fact, a bit of digging has revealed that she’s already a platinum-selling artist in her native Denmark, with over 15 years experience in the music industry.
As well as releasing her own tracks, Sada has penned a number of songs for other artists (via The Mirror), including ‘Ten Miles’ dance act Infernal, which went platinum in 2007:
It also made it to the number one spot in four other countries.
A spokesperson for the show has addressed the news, telling the paper: “Anyone can apply for ‘The X Factor’ whether they are professional or amateur, irrespective of their past experience and all contestants are auditioned on merit.
We’re just two weeks into this year’s ‘X Factor’ series, but the competition is already hotting up and a number of hopefuls have walked away from the room auditions with four yeses.
2014 hopeful Janet Grogan has been given a second chance by the panel, and Louis Tomlinson lookalike Matt Terry is also through to the bootcamp stage.
