Shake It Up Baby Twist and Shout: The Isley Brothers

Stevie Wonder's "Superstition"

It's a little difficult to obtain much information about Olly Murs, since he has more or less shot out of nowhere to become the dark horse contender in the UK X Factor. However, his grandmother revealed to the Daily Star reporter that his great grandparents were great high wire circus performers from Latvia, before they emigrated to England in 1948.

In the UK X Factor, the judges mentor the contestants, according to categories, so Simon colwell has the over 25 group, which includes Olly Murs, Jamie Archer and Danyl Johnson, all great performers. I wasn't able to secure Olly's birth date, but one website said he was a Taurus, which doesn't give me a whole lot to go on, as far as predicting the outcome. Film Cafe reported that one of the artists who came in to mentor the contestants, UK Robbie Williams said that he felt that Olly was a strong contender and even felt a little "threatened" that Olly might take his spot.

Olly is from Wilham, Essex, and when he auditioned, he sang a perfect rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition." It was very unexpected, because he works as a telephone energy consultant. However, his dream is to become a musical performer. I would say that he has a lot of charisma and confidence, in spite of what the judges said. Basically, I'm afraid to say, the judges were a little envious. Here's a few more of his performances, if you'd like to see.
