Frankie Cocozza! A Pop Star In The Making

Frankie Cocozza looked very much like a pop star in the making when he took to the X Factor stage tonight.

The 18 year old from Brighton took on ‘The A Team’ by Ed Sheeran and won.

He started of his performance a little bit nervous but once he settled into the song, he just looked and sounded like a modern day pop star.

However, for some reason, we feel he would be better as a lead singer in a band rather than a solo artist at this stage of his career. We say that not as a criticism, but simply to highlight his versatility.

We believe Frankie could go a long way in this competition and is definitely one to watch.

JUDGES COMMENTS:

Louis Walsh: Frankie from day one when you walked into that audition we knew you had something and you just proved what you had. You’re a natural performer, some people were born to be on stage…you’ve got a great strut and a great voice. Brilliant song choice…amazing!

Tulisa Contostavlos: I have to agree with Louis I thought it was an amazing song choice, perfect song for you, every time we see you you bring such great energy. You’re a good looking lad, the ladies love you. Only one negative, Gary what’s going on with the guyliner tonight, I don’t think that’s him. He’s handsome enough he doesn’t need the makeup Gary.

Kelly Rowland: I am strangely drawn to this boy, you’ve got to lock me up. I loved you Frankie, i think you came here as an artist, you just exude such artistry and star quality. Great performance!

Gary Barlow: Frankie it’s been no secret that I have always been worried about your voice. What the hell was I worried about? What a performance tonight! This is a real artist everybody, congratulations, be proud of yourself you did a great job mate.
