X Factor 2010 - The Wagner Story (including audition)

Wagner has to be one of the most colourful and talked about characters to have made it to the later stages of The X Factor (even though he could not sing!) Here we see his initial audition, plus a short lokk back at his time on the show.

[@MarcoCastilloWorld]

I met Wagner , back in Brazil in the earlies 80's. We wrote songs together and became great friends. Is lovely to see him on this video.
Wagner is a gentleman, talented and a wonderful friend!

[@chad3232132]

He looks like an old Robert Downey.

[@natashamalman9196]

+Chad Zeller AHAH no he doesn't :D

[@GetToDaChoppa-k5r]

+Natasha Malman he does a bit.

[@stephenderbyshire7849]

I thought he looked like an older Robert Downey , when I first saw him .

[@EVELDP]

Igualzinho kkkkkk

[@paulanthony5274]

Putty man 🤣

[@dabsync7424]

Am I the only one who thought that he actually sang quite well in his audition ?

[@reecetaylor1612]

This guy once lived around the corner from me, I saw Louis at his house when he chose him as wildcard

[@laurendavies9682]

ye I saw it to

[@reecetaylor1612]

+Lozza Davies do you live near then?

[@Thismanisright]

+Reece Taylor get her pumped

[@saldeluca7998]

I am among Wagners people what a privilege

[@emilylaura3532]

Reece Taylor ff

[@gemmaskate]

I really really hate what Louis did to him. He became a joke. I think if Simon had gotten his category, he would have done great things.

[@ellah3685]

Me too it makes me really mad they turned him into a complete joke just to get more views my mom used to work with him and she said he was a lovely guy crazy but really kind and cheerful 😂😂

[@thevithunshow]

He would never have come 6th as a serious act. Louis has made many mistakes as a judge but picking Wagner as the wildcard act and making him do bonkers performances was his wisest decision.

[@karencooney3731]

Gemma Pettersen I

[@paulareece9295]

If he got Simon he would not have made it passed judges' house

[@t8537]

Paula Reece literally, ahah

[@Hylefavud]

I liked his audition - he's quite likeable, but unfortunately I don't think he was mentored in the right way

[@npz354]

Wagner is simply a sweet heart with a unique voice!

[@Sophrich123]

he's got such a good voice and a lovely personality

[@RaggedyGirlXo]

HE USED TO WORK AT MY SCHOOL!!!!!!1

[@PokemonKid432]

sure...

[@RaggedyGirlXo]

i promise you,he used to be a science teacher at leasowes high school.why would i lie about that? XD

[@RaggedyGirlXo]

yeah,he used to be a science teacher i think and then he just left. me and my friends sometimes see him in merry hill (a massive shopping center) :3

[@noll6906]

Omg😱😱

[@joebees21]

I love merry hill

[@KnightoftheLord1]

Wagner legend.

[@rainebat]

I loved him he was hilarious

[@Chickenplague1]

seriously...this guy could actually sing...why didnt they give him this kind of song in the rest of the season >> he may actually have been more popular if they had.

[@helenlouiseadams]

Exactly!

[@Darkreign1]

Simon didn't want him to win otherwise he would've had to give him a free record label so he needed to make him lose

[@boulevard14]

Aww I loved that moment back in 2010 when the contestants opened with Celo Green - Forget You on one of the Sunday results and Wagba sang the "Why" part.

[@speccwolf]

What a sweet humble man

[@Blentastic]

Wagner is doing great now. check his facebook :)

[@missxtreme07]

thankyou so much for uploading this, this just proves to his haters that he can sing

[@r4h4al]

I wanted him to go further in the competition. He was great!

[@prasithoudomvilay8454]

He did well live show 8 still pretty good

[@verkaforever]

I have just seen this for the first time.BEAUTIFUL! I nearly cried.

[@nsummerlin510]

This dudes a boss. Mad props.

[@Wollaston123]

Wagner lived by me for years. He was and is a lovely man. He was made a laughing stock of my louis and the press.....he also had an amazing voice.

[@joelmavsf]

Wagner tem Instagram???

[@kiersstyhorpaylikson1012]

[@sundayakpan2663]

Such a Beautiful Brazillian Singing of this man

[@wheedleme]

he's so lovable

[@BeeWilla4]

louis spoil his chances of winning! he made him more of a comedy act than a serious act, and his audition was not bad at all and he could have been a good singer

[@paulareece9295]

He would have never won as a serious act, there were many better acts that year

[@Black.Sabbath]

The producers needed a joke act

[@carpman40]

If he stuck to the opera sort of music he would of won hands down.

[@ssgeary]

I met him last night, he has matured so much

[@RocketTwurpSLR]

OMG i recignise that person in the audiance

[@SidSoothingSoul]

he is telling his whole life story

[@rebeccalin9056]

He scares me... but he is great!!!

[@er3ns.gen0cide14]

*HE LIVED NEAR ME!!!!! NO JOKE AND HE ALSO PASSED ME IN MERRY HILL* 😂

[@ScalaMari]

I really hope he has the career he wants ;]
Cool guy!

[@HuyaiT]

I think the video description is very harsh about his singing, certainly not the best singer, but he has a great spirit and I loved it.

[@ljwalshe1]

love this guy

[@TheFluffySammy]

when Dannii gave that smile that was the same smile she gave Liam so that means she likes him. :)

[@wastefellow2569]

Nooo!!! I want Dannii!!!

[@badeng4787]

[@korbenhill3567]

[@neweleans]

something about wagner is he is like so adorable u can look at him for very long....

[@xEricTheGothx]

@Chickenplague1 im not so sure, he has a few pitching issues and i think if given the right songs that suit voice in a nice soft baritone range he may have won me along with others over so i'm kinda 50/50

[@talittaguardiano8434]

Ele esteve no meu local de trabalho hoje! Ele voltou para o Brasil!

[@Janeese36235]

I like the way how he holds the microphone!!! :'D

[@7tleg67]

You Rock Wagner!

[@cannnings09]

Haha so good him!x

[@harveydhindsa1578]

I think louie was vicariously living through Wagner when he sang this lol...The only reason he got through.

[@wastefellow2569]

He was pretty good; I'm not gonna lie. I won't joke

[@hazelandkatelyn1257]

[@ricecakeskickbutt]

Wow he's good.

[@verkaforever]

@lykotasmom I see your point, but it was the way she asked. She said "Who?", as if he'd dropped from outer space. She should have said, "Could you tell me your name again please?". That is what I would do.

[@phililpb]

putin safe from wagner rebellion

[@ChiakiMew]

I understand your frustration
