Beyonce Appears, Girl Out Over Visa

Beyonce guest stars on The X Factor Australia as contestants do home visits for the X Factor judges. Tara-Lynn Sharrock leaves the show because of visa issues.

A BREAK AFTER BOOT CAMP

After eliminating Emmanuel Kelly the judges travel to Los Angeles, Hollywood, New York, and Double Island.

The X Factor Australia contestants jetted abroad to visit the judges' houses and do some more performing. The trips marked a nice reprieve from the craziness of boot camp. However, some chaos still ensued.

Viewers were told that because of visa issues, Tara-Lynn Sharrock was removed from the competition. In her place, the show brought back eliminated contestant Sophie Metcalfe, revealed at the airport when the other competitors wonder aloud where Tara-Lynn is. Guy Sebastian, who has taken the Under 25 Boys to New York, has a special surprise for his crew: Beyonce! She helps to critique the boys’ performances.

ACROSS THE WORLD THEY GO

Meanwhile, Natalie Bassingthwaighte has whisked the Over 25s to exclusive Double Island, the Under 25 Girls are with Mel B in Hollywood and the groups are with Ronan Keating in Los Angeles. Some cultural discrepancies are revealed as many of the contestants have never left Oz and Upfront feel affronted that Americans don’t seem to know the proper name of McDonald’s is Maccas. Big Mac, anyone?

A common concern from several judges on last night’s episode was that some contestants are failing to connect with their songs. Translation: a good voice doesn’t always equal a moving performance. Will they improve enough to make it through to the Top 12? Stay tuned to find out.
