1. Singing Souls

In 2009, this girl group auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent. They first gave judge Simon Cowell attitude when he misheard their name as “Singing Trolls.” Cowell went on to buzz the act after just a few seconds. When the other judges joined him, the group’s leader said, “You wanna come up here and sing, Simon?” When Amanda Holden said she’s “grounded,” she responded, “Bite me!”

2. Chloe Victoria

This 19-year-old auditioned for The X Factor UK in 2010 and admitted she had no singing experience. Cowell stopped her during her first song and asked her to sing something else. When he stopped her again, she started arguing with him and the other judges. When the audience booed her, she started shouting at them, too. Shockingly, Cowell still gave her a “yes,” along with Nicole Scherzinger.
