The new Aussie Kelly hero ...

Emmanuel Kelly is an Iraqi-Australian who entered the Australian version of X-Factor. His audition has gone a little bit viral and it's difficult to watch it without blubbing. Inspirational stuff, but man does it tug the heartstrings. He got to the last 12 in his category of men under 25, but not the last six and the live shows. The guy who is a mentor for that category is a bit of an idiot - the aim is to win the competition and find someone who will fill theatres and sell records, not simply find a pretty face with a voice who will disappear without trace once the competition is over. Anyway, watch with a tissue handy ...
