During his audition Davidson was sweaty and out of breath and was constantly stumbling over lyrics, sounding like he is about to vomit. As for the judges, Paul enjoyed the audition for what it is, but Simon was not impressed.
The audition ended with Simon’s utter befuddlement and the eventual escorting of Davidson out of the room, making it a great source of entertainment. Auditions like this prove the show’s delectable draw.
