Emmanuel Kelly, an Iraqi orphan whose limbs were damaged by chemical warfare, wowed Australia’s X Factor ’s judges with his performance last night, but he was, unbelievably, rejected from both Australia’s Got Talent and X Factor last year. His audition of John Lennon’s “Imagine,” which is below, resulted in a standing ovation but isn’t quite one of those now near-cliche auditions where someone who looks like an unlikely singer and has a disproportionately amazing voice. But what is surprising is that it took him this long to find his way to television because of both his story and his talent. (One of the judges said, “compared to the other people here, regardless of your story, you have a beautiful gift.”) The Telegraph reports that he “auditioned for Australia’s Got Talent last year but did not make it on to the show,” while the AAP reports that he “auditioned for last year’s [X Factor] show but failed to make it through.” View the original article here

Survivor Redemption Island’s debut episode next week will only have one sponsor, Sprint, a first for the series that will allow the show to have more content, hopefully not of Sprint phones. In addition, the ad breaks will only feature 30-second Sprint commercials and minute-long segments about former contestants. CBS said in a press release that “Sprint’s sponsorship will allow for additional minutes of show content in the premiere episode,” and that “each of the four commercial breaks in the premiere episode will feature a ‘Survivor: Redemption Island ‘What If? Moment’ Presented by Sprint,’ a series of 60-second vignettes spotlighting a popular former Survivor’s tactical game. The vignette will recap the alliances they made and betrayed, their eventual elimination and how their strategy might have been altered if they knew they had a second chance at redemption.” Those segments, CBS said, will be narrated by Jeff Probst and selected by Jeff and executive producer David Burris, along...
