they had so much potential, its sad to see what the industry turned them into. They're own original shit is what I wanted to stick around for, THEY WERE SO GOOD
I remember first seeing this audition. I felt goosebumps then, feel goosebumps again now. Very sad that they lost their sublime/dirty heads vibe and went so far into pop. Simon is good at discovering talent. His label is horrible at letting their talents do their thing and grow into their greatest potential.
i agree..i think they were fed up by simon who was turning them into some kind of like crappy one direction thats why they got of contract,esp drew, so they can do their thing
These guys deserve so much credit. They went out on stage all the confidence in the World and no One knew WHO they Were. By the end of it they had the audience and judges respect. Mad props.
Actually, I think a lot of people will agree with you! Their Nothing to Lose album was good but it didnt really seem "them". I'd have preferred a route like you said, personally.
100% fucking totally with you. They had potential over whatever the fuck they're offering them to do right now. That reggae-rock they had going on was pretty dope. I hope they jump out of that shit-stream they're being forced into.
as i watch this years after it happened, i start to get emotional, realizing everything ive been through with this band. i remember the day i saw them on the xfactor, then later that night i googled them and found out more about them. i remember when I first followed them on twitter, and they barley had any followers, i remeber when they followed me back. i remeber when they got voted off the show, then crying later that night. i remember when they released their new single, then it being on the radio, i remember when they started going on tours, being nominated for awards, and such. i remember them coming out with an album, music videos following. i remember seeing them in a bunch of concerts. i remember the day a got a twitter notification, from the band account, to a link on their website, reading about drew leaving the band. i remember fireside and how different it was with drew not their. i remember the forever together ep. it's hard to believe how long ive stuck with this band, but once an emblem; always an emblem.
I remember watching this damn audition back in 2012 and going search for them and appearing things mostly about a game and at the end some videos of them. Oh god how i miss them. I'm starting to get emocional about it
I actually went to their concert/met them and trust me, it's not anything like this 😂 4 girls fainting, everybody was sweating, there was no seats, no air conditioning, and they took about 3 hours to come out and we had to leave in the middle of the concert 😂
I got to see them live twice now! They were amazing I was walking past the gate where there bus was parked and they came and greeted me we basically just hung out for like 5-10 minutes lol!!! Super happy that they got back together planning on seeing them again.!😆
This is the one band that ive been there since the beginning lols its funny when I first heard this song I liked I was like they r gonna be big someday and now that song is on my iPod with the rest of the album!!
God damn this was seven years ago. I remember this. These three boys had such a huge impact on my life. They basically saved my life. They’ve all grown up so much. I have never left this fan base because they are so inspiring. Even if Keaton might be in a different band and Drew and Wes did their own stuff they are all still amazing. Now Drew and Wes are back together and I couldn’t be any happier. I feel like they saved my life once again.
@@helenah2402 I couldn’t be happier I have seen them twice within the last five months in Augest and October and I saw Keaton’s band The Social in September when they did a show in LA with Spencer Sutherland and I met them too the sweetest guys. I met Wes and Drew too really sweet.
Everytime I hear the opening music I get chills! The fact that they've made it so far and it all started with THIS song. I could listen to this over and over and never get sick of it. LOVE Emblem3 :)
UKRSHEV wtf? These guys never went away keaton’s in a band wesley and drew both have individual music and got back together. You guys just aren’t paying attention and don’t ever diss the 1D guys they are considered one of the most successful bands in history
The Relatable Trash Can TV OHMYGOD I DIDNT KNOW THAT, THANK YOU THAT IS THE BEST NEWS EVER BECAUSE I LOVE THEM TOGETHER AND I LOVED THEIR DEBUT ALBUM HELL YEAH I AM SO HAPPY
Met them today and I must say, they are incredible in person! Their voices are so crisp. You don't hear that kind of voice in videos like these! They're wonderful!(:
I just went to their concert in NYC last night and finally met them after four years of supporting and loving their music and what they stand for. I can't believe it finally happened and now I don't want to do anything but look at the pics I took w them and watch old videos :))
I love how everyone thought "oh, they're just a few kids doing an original song, they're going home", but then they were so surprised when it was good.
I LOVE ❤️ ❤❤ their own ORIGINAL........it displays their own Natural Style & Rythms .......they have their own Coolest Swag GOING on.........they Rock it with their own ORIGINAL songs! ❤....... Simon should let they.......perform their own 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 Songs.❤
It kinda irritates me that if a band of boys wants to be popular they can't really resist falling into the stereotype of boy bands because girls have to fangirl over them and stuff. Emblem3 had a lot of potential but should of took a different route. Like posting on TH-cam or something, so they could give ppl the vibe to know what kind of band they really are.
What an awesome audition it was! And also people maybe don't realise how bold it is to play an original song during a music audition in front 4000 people, 2 big artists and 2 huge music producers and they killed it! I think the haters are most likely just jealous! I was also thinking what an amazing year it was: Emblem 3, Fifth Harmony, Bea Miller, Carly Rose, Jennel Garcia, wow!
Alizha Sanchez Take that little dance he did for instance, just because you guys consider him "cute" you'd pay no attention to the fact that he dances like a chicken with a broken foot.
I'm crying because honestly watching this makes me feel like I'm watching their career restart and Drew is back in and everything is alright and I remember when i first heard of them. It was about three weeks after their audition on xfactor, so they already had a lot more fans but I'm still treating them as if they are family and I was one of their first fans.
I am a classical musician, I listen mostly to classical music, but every now and then I go back to their original album and listen it (the one of their music before xfactor) - they were amazing, and they didn't need to change anything...wish to see them go back in that direction
I dont want any hate comments from their supporters, but these guys were fucking AWESOME until i found out Drew left the group. That was a horrible career move. Drew and the bros definitely complimented each other well. It was the whole point of their band. I didnt read too much into it, but im going to assume for now that maybe Drew separated since their recent stuff wasn't really "them" and he wanted to stick to the old shit. Which is cool I guess, its just kind of sad they couldnt keep going and making music together .-.
gonzalezm511 He was going to leave ever since before this audition. They all knew that he wanted to do his own thing and so it was not a shock when it happened.
Wes, the guy in the middle, joined with Kenny Holland and they created The Balcony and are writing songs. They're first song will be "Fire" and I'm excited. Everyone should check them out😊👍🏼
Just re-watching this and Simon said, and I quote, "I predict big things for you guys". Like over a year later, look at where the guys are now! They have an album out and they have been to awards shows and met a ton of famous people and performed in concerts all over the United States and will one day be traveling the world singing for their Emblems.
if u look closely you can see the dollar signs in simons eyes
Lmao 💀💀
no chill chan shiet an amity fan, have a nice life brother
Jay lmfao
I can see them.
Love your Turnover picture!
they had so much potential, its sad to see what the industry turned them into. They're own original shit is what I wanted to stick around for, THEY WERE SO GOOD
sarveenaz a what happened
@@unnchy_ Go listen to "Chloe"
I miss them
How stupid are you??? They toured 2013, 2016 and soon, all had individual albums and tours. They never went away you guys just aren’t paying attention
They still have potential
Still one of the greatest live amateur auditions ever.
No way it’s been 9 years. I wish I could go back in time. This was peak happiness. Someone help me.
i sweaaarrr I thought the same thing… no way it’s been 9 years
I feel you bro
Facts
Scary how much time it’s been
Now 10 years WTF
I remember first seeing this audition. I felt goosebumps then, feel goosebumps again now. Very sad that they lost their sublime/dirty heads vibe and went so far into pop. Simon is good at discovering talent. His label is horrible at letting their talents do their thing and grow into their greatest potential.
i agree..i think they were fed up by simon who was turning them into some kind of like crappy one direction thats why they got of contract,esp drew, so they can do their thing
No they didnt listen to their new music
Listen to there New Album that came out yesterday , They said That the Album is going back to there original Roots
love the part when drew says "while she makes her mind up whether she wants me or wesley" :D
neversaynever17 when does he say that?
At 1:57.
All late but he was talking about Demi
I love how Simon laughs at that
I mean personally I'd choose Keaton
These guys deserve so much credit. They went out on stage all the confidence in the World and no One knew WHO they Were. By the end of it they had the audience and judges respect. Mad props.
Why is it 2020 in the middle of a PANDEMIC & IM THINKING ABOUT EMBLEM 3 HAHAHA help
Same they literally just entered my mind 😂
Sameeeee
Bro same
Same I'm getting war flashbacks to my fanpage oh no
no cause same
Keaton looks so awkward iM sCReAMInG
BTW THIS WASNT HATE KDNDKDFK I ACTUALLY LIKE THEM
“We think you’re cute” he’s such a dork😂
he still dances like that bwahaha
they should bring it back to this type of energy..
I might get hate for this but I wish Emblem 3 went down the sublime/dirty heads road instead of the boy band path... But hey they are still good
Actually, I think a lot of people will agree with you! Their Nothing to Lose album was good but it didnt really seem "them". I'd have preferred a route like you said, personally.
100% fucking totally with you. They had potential over whatever the fuck they're offering them to do right now. That reggae-rock they had going on was pretty dope. I hope they jump out of that shit-stream they're being forced into.
most of the fans hoped that too lol
NasreenN101 Shows how much of a piece of shit the system is. Maybe that's why Drew left.
Bryce Flint I'm almost positive that's the reason. I imagine he didn't want to be unhappy doing music he didn't truly love.
as i watch this years after it happened, i start to get emotional, realizing everything ive been through with this band. i remember the day i saw them on the xfactor, then later that night i googled them and found out more about them. i remember when I first followed them on twitter, and they barley had any followers, i remeber when they followed me back. i remeber when they got voted off the show, then crying later that night. i remember when they released their new single, then it being on the radio, i remember when they started going on tours, being nominated for awards, and such. i remember them coming out with an album, music videos following. i remember seeing them in a bunch of concerts. i remember the day a got a twitter notification, from the band account, to a link on their website, reading about drew leaving the band. i remember fireside and how different it was with drew not their. i remember the forever together ep. it's hard to believe how long ive stuck with this band, but once an emblem; always an emblem.
This make me feel i want to cry. So sweet so nice. This girl is a real Emblem. Love you. And blesses
Really sweet comment, & I feel you...love these guys...
I remember watching this damn audition back in 2012 and going search for them and appearing things mostly about a game and at the end some videos of them. Oh god how i miss them. I'm starting to get emocional about it
DID I JUST SEE SIMON COWELL SMILE?!?!
It's the seventh sign of the apocalypse. 😋
He saw dollar signs
its been like 3 years and im still crying over keaton being 15 and flirting with demi
Still by far one of my favorite songs of theirs
Same❤️
Is it just me or did anyone else feel like they were in a concert!?
That is exactly what I was thinking
I actually went to their concert/met them and trust me, it's not anything like this 😂 4 girls fainting, everybody was sweating, there was no seats, no air conditioning, and they took about 3 hours to come out and we had to leave in the middle of the concert 😂

+Zyannah Greaux lmao fuck that shit then 😂
+Orevwa Miranda oh my god. That just reminded me of when I met them during the Selena Gomez tour. 2013. Take me back please 😭
This is the one band that ive been there since the beginning lols its funny when I first heard this song I liked I was like they r gonna be big someday and now that song is on my iPod with the rest of the album!!
lovelovelovelove. One of my favourite xfactor auditions ever. Maybe my absolute favourite.

They should've stuck to this type of sound it's what made them different
It's 2014 and I still get the same chills and the feelings from the first time I ever heard this song.
THEIR FACES WHEN LA SAID I DONT LIKE YOU LMFAOOOO
Haya AlNaimi Joking right?
+Orevwa Miranda ur profile pic is AMAZING
Carina Wong GURL I KNOOW
Everytime I hear the opening music I get chills! The fact that they've made it so far and it all started with THIS song. I could listen to this over and over and never get sick of it. LOVE Emblem3 :)
they still be dancin awkwardly on stage but god their talent has expanded so much. love them. they’re on tour rn.
❤️❤️❤️🔥🙌🏼🎸
And this is where it all started lol best guy band ever on X factor, honestly BEST season ever!
Kelly Chan don't compare my boys to your boy -.-' its un- necessary
One direction is the best X factor band ever
KEATON TRY TO DANCE IS THE CUTTEST THING IN THE WORLD HAHA X3! Love them :,D
i know right!
Their talent got wasted :/
Yeah, that's fucking stupid. We have One Direction bullshit, but not these guys?
@@UKRSHEV One direction was good, piss off.
One directions talent turned them all into solo careers tho lmao
UKRSHEV wtf? These guys never went away keaton’s in a band wesley and drew both have individual music and got back together. You guys just aren’t paying attention and don’t ever diss the 1D guys they are considered one of the most successful bands in history
RenaRoo123 why did their talent go to waste? They still make music and tour
Ugh god Drew why did u leave the band? I know u'll dl great things but we'll miss the trio all together.
he wanted a solo career. I'm so sad. 💔
it's now forever emblem2 :(
NO its not emblem2
wesley + keaton + fans = emblem3 ❤️😌
Lol, Drew has been back for a year now guys!!! I know, I'm a year late...
what i loved about them is that they were so confident with their own music and when they performed, it felt like they were having their own concert
Who else is watching this now that they got back together..?
WAIT WHAT ARE THEY BACK TOGETHER REALLY
YESYESTHEYDID Lipi Katiha
The Relatable Trash Can TV OHMYGOD I DIDNT KNOW THAT, THANK YOU THAT IS THE BEST NEWS EVER BECAUSE I LOVE THEM TOGETHER AND I LOVED THEIR DEBUT ALBUM HELL YEAH I AM SO HAPPY
+The Relatable Trash Can TV No way!! yay!
+The Relatable Trash Can TV THEY BACK? OMFG
Keaton looks like he's not sure how to move.
I know my baby so lost
Met them today and I must say, they are incredible in person! Their voices are so crisp. You don't hear that kind of voice in videos like these! They're wonderful!(:
'High Five Wesley no hurt hand,'
I like the fact they changed Wesley to Keaton (But only because they mentioned Wes again near the end:) )
no they changed keaton to wesley
Cherie Shek
No, I mean in the official one - the one on the album.
Yeah, for this performance they changed "High five Keaton" to "High five Wesley" but the actual lyrics for the official song are "High five Keaton" :)
EmblemThreeSupport
didn't they change it because drew left
Mam Marie Sanyang Nope :)
It hurts my soul to see Keatons moves😂 No hate I fricking love Keaton
Yeah me too
Seen the Demi/Simon moment so many times and was suddenly like "omg that's emblem3's audition" so I had to come watch it again :)
I just went to their concert in NYC last night and finally met them after four years of supporting and loving their music and what they stand for. I can't believe it finally happened and now I don't want to do anything but look at the pics I took w them and watch old videos :))
I love how everyone thought "oh, they're just a few kids doing an original song, they're going home", but then they were so surprised when it was good.
I LOVE ❤️ ❤❤ their own ORIGINAL........it displays their own Natural Style & Rythms .......they have their own Coolest Swag GOING on.........they Rock it with their own ORIGINAL songs! ❤.......
Simon should let they.......perform their own 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 Songs.❤
It kinda irritates me that if a band of boys wants to be popular they can't really resist falling into the stereotype of boy bands because girls have to fangirl over them and stuff.
Emblem3 had a lot of potential but should of took a different route. Like posting on TH-cam or something, so they could give ppl the vibe to know what kind of band they really are.
i miss this season
You mean X factor USA !
I love how drew and Wes were getting all emotional on stage and keaton stands there with a big grin on his face(: they're so cute(:
2:08-2:10 gives me the biggest chills! Wesley's voice is amazing!! love emblem 3 so much!! xx and Keaton was so sweet :D
What an awesome audition it was! And also people maybe don't realise how bold it is to play an original song during a music audition in front 4000 people, 2 big artists and 2 huge music producers and they killed it! I think the haters are most likely just jealous!
I was also thinking what an amazing year it was: Emblem 3, Fifth Harmony, Bea Miller, Carly Rose, Jennel Garcia, wow!
This was the best original song and performance ever on this show. I remember feeling like I was a teen again in So Cal
The fact that it has almost been 2 years since this aired makes me cry... I love them so much.
I think Demi had a crush on Drew tht time cuz she looked at him like a million times......
I feel like Wesley could blow up as a solo artist, his voice is so damn smooth
I think he already made it
So many years later and I'm still listening to this catchy af song
Keaton is so ADORABLE!!!!
bruh i was obsessed with them when i was 14 😩 can’t believe it’s been 9 years
Watch Simons face when they say weather she wants me or Wesley😂😂😂
look at demis guilty face. shes thinking "how do they know, that I cant decide?"
Kayley Bradley when is that said?
Kayley Bradley 💀💀
i will never get over this audition.. just absolute perfection!!!
Everyone thinks that keaton dances cute, but look at him, wtf is he doing?
luukpeper You call that cute? that dude needs to go take some dance classes cuz that was the most awkward thing i've ever seen.
damian michael it was awkward, but in a really adorable way.
Alizha Sanchez Ugh... girls.
damian michael What about being a girl?
Alizha Sanchez Take that little dance he did for instance, just because you guys consider him "cute" you'd pay no attention to the fact that he dances like a chicken with a broken foot.
I remember watching this live and falling in love with their talent, the song, and them.
1:33 ... what was happening to the 15 year old ???
Right... Scared me a bit haha
Yazza_ he saw a bee
His an epileptic,how dare you?😡
Richard Ramirez well she didn’t know
Already have been 2 years of it and i loved them evry single day since this day and will never stop! So proud love you ♡
now thats REAL talent
Still one of the best auditions all time.
I laugh everytime i see this because of keaton 😂
they have come so far so incredibly proud and happy for them been a fan from the beginning until the end
They had so much potential! I was feeling their summer beachy bad boy vibe type songs. Their label did them dirty.
Loved this from day one and still come back to it now!!
i miss emblem3 like this and i miss drew! Their music style was so amazing!
The fact soooo many people do originals now on idol and whatnot. These dudes were ahead of the curve
And Wesley is now in a duo with Kenny Holland GO CHECK THEM OUT. THE Balcony
I'm crying because honestly watching this makes me feel like I'm watching their career restart and Drew is back in and everything is alright and I remember when i first heard of them. It was about three weeks after their audition on xfactor, so they already had a lot more fans but I'm still treating them as if they are family and I was one of their first fans.
This happened in 2012 and I'm still crying about it in 2018
I am a classical musician, I listen mostly to classical music, but every now and then I go back to their original album and listen it (the one of their music before xfactor) - they were amazing, and they didn't need to change anything...wish to see them go back in that direction
Keaton's awkward dance moves tho.
Watching this now, and seeing how far they have come makes me so happy and proud of them!!
“While she makes her mind up whether she wants me or Wesley”
I made up my mind a long time ago: I want Keaton!
Idk why I keep coming back here I’m such a really big fan of them still
Aww Keaton said "I love you so much" to Demi. Hahaha
It really is amazing how far they've came . They deserve it , somehow even with everything going on they're still down to earth and humble .
For anyone here in 2023, they’re putting out some really cool and unique original music right now, check out their new stuff
This is the best audition I've ever seen on X Factor. I always find myself coming back to watch it over and over again. I get chills every time. 3
I think I'm going to collapse.
They're so amazayn♥ uncle Simon wasn't wrong when he said "I predict big things for you"
I just love them♥
I remember watching this and wow I'm so proud of them. I'm meeting them for the 4th time on Saturday! (:
Reminiscing to when they were all together 😫😫😫😫
Awww, crying bc im proud of how far they've gotten in the past year ♡ ily emblem3
*whispers* don't tell your mother
We wish you all the luck in the world on your new adventures Drew!
“ i predict big things for you guys”..no one knows them
Daaaamn
I remember watching this...the song was stuck in my head the whole X-facter season :)
Simon predicted big things for them and look where they are now :)
Got chills watching this. They've come a long way (:
I dont want any hate comments from their supporters, but these guys were fucking AWESOME until i found out Drew left the group. That was a horrible career move. Drew and the bros definitely complimented each other well. It was the whole point of their band.

he left on his own
I know. Im saying it was a shitty move.
gonzalezm511 He was going to leave ever since before this audition. They all knew that he wanted to do his own thing and so it was not a shock when it happened.
Mannn. thats lame. :| I was interested in them as a group.
Wes, the guy in the middle, joined with Kenny Holland and they created The Balcony and are writing songs. They're first song will be "Fire" and I'm excited. Everyone should check them out😊👍🏼
They were really good! I wonder how the industry let them slip away. Feel like they could've been really big...
I really hope that one day that do a tour around the UK! or even just a few shows in london at the most, id love to see them live at least once!
They're so cute my heart can't take it
Todavía me acuerdo cuando mire la audición :') Me siento ORGULLOSA :') Los Extrañare :'(
Keatons awkward movements
I went to see them in concert and the thing they do best is getting the audience hyped up, I really really like them :)))
Wesley is so talented!
Oh how I LOVED this song and I just remembered its existence
lol Demi's laugh is the best
I always come back to watch this and I'm like okay one time Jordan, and then one time of watching turns into 50.. god I love them
2021 I'm wondering what ever happened to the talented Cali guys that Britney called "Awesome!".
Just re-watching this and Simon said, and I quote, "I predict big things for you guys". Like over a year later, look at where the guys are now! They have an album out and they have been to awards shows and met a ton of famous people and performed in concerts all over the United States and will one day be traveling the world singing for their Emblems.
