Over 2000 people attended the first audition for the Australian version of The X Factor yesterday.
Aussie newspaper The Herald Sun reports that more people auditioned for the '25 and over solo' category than any other.
Series producer Peter Wynne told the newspaper, "This is the first time that the 25-plus age group has actually got a forum to perform.
"People needn't worry about having an absolutely perfect singing voice, this show is about singing but also about finding a uniqueness of personality."
The Bill actor Daniel McPherson, who hosts the show, added, "Everyone that has auditioned has had a great attitude and a great vibe about them."
The series kicks off on the Ten network in February next year.
