Rita Ora opens up about Seann Miley Moore's 'passionate and individual' X Factor audition
It's been an emotional weekend for Rita Ora, who was moved to tears by Seann Miley Moore's powerful X Factor audition last night (August 30).
The judge was impressed by Moore's 'passionate and individual' rendition of the Queen classic 'The Show Must Go On', and opened up about the moving performance in an interview with The Radio Times.

"He walked onto the stage with a meaning, with a message that was about being a misfit and being comfortable," Ora said.
"My whole life growing up I was never the most popular one. I was always a bit different or trying to start something like a revolution in our class or something like that. I think that's what this guy did; he started that for me, [it] felt real."
She went on to say: "He loved it and he was passionate about it. He didn't even have to speak. I felt it. I was so relieved that someone had come on the show and showed that kind of individuality.
"Growing up and being such a fan of individual artists like Madonna, people who took risks and always got judged for it, that was a moment where I felt that TV is now being more accepting of people.
She concluded: "It wasn't the fact that he did an amazing performance, which he did, it was more of being thankful for individuality and for people being comfortable in their own skin and with who they are. That's why I cried."
The X Factor continues next weekend on ITV.
