It was Cowell's particularly cutting criticism that left an impression though as he said, "I'm not going to remember you in one hour". Patrick James, pictured with coach Una Healy, after winning The Voice of Ireland in 2015He began his time on stage by singing Nina Simone's Feeling Good before singing, as requested by Cowell, Human by Rag'n'Bone Man. He said he is "very embarrassed" by what was aired, in particular because he didn't feel confident singing the latter which he wasn't prepared for. I won The Voice here, so it’s very embarrassing going over there and not even getting through a round," he explained. "But then again I don’t think there are any singers out there who would say no if the X Factor approached them and invited them over."
