08 Nov 08
Eoghan Quigg came face to face with Mariah Carey in a masterclass this week and admitted he was "starstuck".
However he obviously made quite an impression on the New York diva as she called him "really cute" and told him, "You have such a pretty voice. The high breathy stuff - that's your gem".
Mariah told the cameras, "He doesn't have a small voice; he's got a tone that's a star quality - that's what I sense".
Eoghan's rendition of Anytime You Need A Friend also had the judges singing his praises.
Cheryl was impressed by Eoghan's confidence, "For being sixteen, the amount of conficence you have is amazing I couldn't have sung in front of Mariah Carey at sixteen. I'm still getting over the starstruck-ness tonight"!
Simon told his charge, "That's probably the best song you've chosen so far. You'd have a hit record with that".
But while Louis congratulated his countryman on having "No fear and a brilliant personality," he had a few words of criticism as well!
"Your hair is turning into a bit of a birds nest. I suspect you're taking advice off Simon Cowell on hair!
