X Factor Mary Gets Byrned
Irish contestant Mary Byrne, who was regarded as one of the stars of the X Factor’s audition stage in last weekend’s show, has already won a TV singing competition in the past, it has been revealed.
The Irish singer had wowed the audience and judges with her powerful performance of the Tom Jones Hit I (Who Have Nothing) during the audition show on Saturday. The singer had told the judges in Dublin – Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Cheryl Cole and guest judge Katy Perry – that she had lost confidence in her singing ability during the last few years, and only recently got the nerve to perform back again, but it was not said that she had been a talent show winner in the past. It has now been reported that Mary won an Irish TV singing contest, Nollaig No.1.
The producer of Nolliag No.1 said: “She was very nervous when she appeared on our show. She really lacked confidence in her ability. If nothing else, winning the contest gave her belief in herself. She’s had a tough life and I hope she goes far. I think she will do really well if she goes to the live shows”.
Supermarket cashier Mary made it through to the Boot Camp stage of The X Factor, after receiving high praise from the judges. Cowell told the 50-year-old that she had “the best voice out of everyone who has auditioned today”.
It is highly unlikely that she will be disqualified over these revelations (as well as the stance that the new American version will take on these cases when it begins), as even former professionals, including former boyband member Daniel Pearce last year, have been allowed to enter the show, but the news will certainly impact any potential ‘rags-to-riches’ story as seen with former Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle, and could even be a dent to her chances of winning now that the judges and public know of her past success.

Mary Byrne is by far the best singer on board and even if she dosent win x factor she will go a long way her days at tesco are finished i am so delighted for her / why is that person wagne still there and who says he can sing.
who is it comes up with all these revelations SO what if mary won a talent comp in the past she never got anywhere with it the X factor is a modern style comp as i understand it not one of the perochial type of things we would have considered a compition in the past. i like the idea that when people who are considered to have talent are treated like potential stars which is what most of them are mary being no exception and i wish people would stop referring to mary’s age she is a star because of her fab voice not because of or inspite of her age
