21 year-old Simone Battle, who dreams about becoming a pop icon and signing people’s babies, desperately tried to impress with renditions of “When I Grow Up” by Pussycat Dolls and “Bulletproof” during the first auditions at the “The X-Factor” premiere on Wednesday (September 21)- watch video below.

And the freak show continues. Simone wants to be like Beyonce and Britney, exuding self-confidence, and describing her sound as a “threesome between a cheerleader, a hipster and a drag queen.” What?

Simon Cowell stops her… oh yeah, he will be sending her red hot pants straight home! OH NO. Simon is fascinated by fierce Simone. Judge LA Reid is not impressed. Simon makes her sing something to change LA’s mind. She sings “Bulletproof” and LA is still not impressed. Simone still gets three “yeses”. Seriously?
