Scott Paul Bruton (born 14 December 1988) better known as Scott Bruton is a former Pontins Bluecoat from Manchester. Scott started singing at the age of 11 after singing karaoke on holiday and since then he has won various singing and talent competitions. He started singing in the pubs and clubs until he got his job at Pontins as a blue coat earlier in the year. Coming from the same city as previous X Factor winner Shayne Ward, Scott is determined to make Manchester proud once again.
Bruton initially wanted to be an actor but decided on a career in music after taking part in karaoke. In the first live show Bruton received harsh criticism for his performance of “Yeh Yeh”. His mentor Simon Cowell accepted responsibility for the bad song choice. In week 3, on 25 October, he sang “That’s Life” by Frank Sinatra but was eliminated after a bottom-two showdown against Daniel Evans. Cheryl Cole, Louis Walsh and Evans’ mentor Dannii Minogue voted in Daniel’s favour. Bruton’s mentor, Simon Cowell, voted to keep him in the competition. He is currently playing the role of Bobby in Dreamboats and Petticoats. |
