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
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.
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.!😆
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.
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
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
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!!
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.
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.
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
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.
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 :)
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 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.
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!
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 :))
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😊👍🏼
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.
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
The old Emblem3. They changed now they are attracting girls instead of all genders like here :) and now they are singing pop and turning to one D.... :((
Not anymore!!! They're working independent now ;) so you should wait until they release their new music!! (And check their ep on iTunes because it's their original music)
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.
Fav band EVER!! Lol. I feel that Emblem3 is not fully recognized for how talented they are. Like really. Compared to other bands like One Direction, 5SOS, or even the success of the Jonas Brothers (Which I loved SO much when I was younger, lol) Emblem3 are way more talented & they work so hard on their music & the lyrics actually mean something. Ugh, I wish they would've been fully recognized for their amazing talent. They did amazing & they're still doing amazing, but compared to the Boybands, Emblem3 should have been on top.
Dude, you can't say anyone is better than anyone. 5h worked damn hard for their sucess and I know emblem3 does too and I love them both. Stop comparing

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
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
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
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.
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
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
Still one of the greatest live amateur auditions ever.
they should bring it back to this type of energy..
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 😭
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.
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
DID I JUST SEE SIMON COWELL SMILE?!?!
It's the seventh sign of the apocalypse. 😋
He saw dollar signs
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
its been like 3 years and im still crying over keaton being 15 and flirting with demi
It hurts my soul to see Keatons moves😂 No hate I fricking love Keaton
Yeah me too
lovelovelovelove. One of my favourite xfactor auditions ever. Maybe my absolute favourite.
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
They should've stuck to this type of sound it's what made them different
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!!
Still by far one of my favorite songs of theirs
Same❤️
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.
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...
Keaton looks like he's not sure how to move.
I know my baby so lost
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.

Who else is watching this now that they got back together..?
WAIT WHAT ARE THEY BACK TOGETHER REALLY
YESYESTHEYDID Lipi Katiha

'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's 2014 and I still get the same chills and the feelings from the first time I ever heard this song.
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 :)
KEATON TRY TO DANCE IS THE CUTTEST THING IN THE WORLD HAHA X3! Love them :,D
i know right!
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
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
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 think Demi had a crush on Drew tht time cuz she looked at him like a million times......
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 feel like Wesley could blow up as a solo artist, his voice is so damn smooth
I think he already made it
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.
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!

The fact that it has almost been 2 years since this aired makes me cry... I love them so much.
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 💀💀
bruh i was obsessed with them when i was 14 😩 can’t believe it’s been 9 years
This was the best original song and performance ever on this show. I remember feeling like I was a teen again in So Cal
i miss this season
You mean X factor USA !
The fact soooo many people do originals now on idol and whatnot. These dudes were ahead of the curve
I laugh everytime i see this because of keaton 😂
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(:
Keaton is so ADORABLE!!!!
So many years later and I'm still listening to this catchy af song
For anyone here in 2023, they’re putting out some really cool and unique original music right now, check out their new stuff
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😊👍🏼

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.
I remember watching this live and falling in love with their talent, the song, and them.
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 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 will never get over this audition.. just absolute perfection!!!
“While she makes her mind up whether she wants me or Wesley”
I made up my mind a long time ago: I want Keaton!
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
they have come so far so incredibly proud and happy for them been a fan from the beginning until the end
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
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.
Awww, crying bc im proud of how far they've gotten in the past year ♡ ily emblem3
The old Emblem3. They changed now they are attracting girls instead of all genders like here :) and now they are singing pop and turning to one D.... :((
I agree completely. I mean i still love them :) but i wish they didn't change. :/
yea i kinda miss their style :/ its not their fault they changed its how the industry is......
Not anymore!!! They're working independent now ;) so you should wait until they release their new music!! (And check their ep on iTunes because it's their original music)
That's not true cuz 1D is so much better
Danyelle Whittaker no ew
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.
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
Still one of the best auditions all time.
i miss emblem3 like this and i miss drew! Their music style was so amazing!
Oh how I LOVED this song and I just remembered its existence
Aww Keaton said "I love you so much" to Demi. Hahaha
Watching this now, and seeing how far they have come makes me so happy and proud of them!!
This happened in 2012 and I'm still crying about it in 2018
I WENT TO THEIR CONCERT AND GOT A PHOTO WITH THEM 😭😭🥺WILL FORVER MISS THEM
Reminiscing to when they were all together 😫😫😫😫
Sometimes I come back and watch this video to remember the day I first discovered Emblem3, I love them!
And Wesley is now in a duo with Kenny Holland GO CHECK THEM OUT. THE Balcony
I remember watching this and wow I'm so proud of them. I'm meeting them for the 4th time on Saturday! (:
Simon predicted big things for them and look where they are now :)
Wesley is deffo my favourite, there's something about him that's so free spirit and funky. I wish they could get more credit!
*whispers* don't tell your mother
It's like falling in love with their music (and them) again.
They were really good! I wonder how the industry let them slip away. Feel like they could've been really big...
Got chills watching this. They've come a long way (:
Fav band EVER!! Lol. I feel that Emblem3 is not fully recognized for how talented they are. Like really. Compared to other bands like One Direction, 5SOS, or even the success of the Jonas Brothers (Which I loved SO much when I was younger, lol) Emblem3 are way more talented & they work so hard on their music & the lyrics actually mean something. Ugh, I wish they would've been fully recognized for their amazing talent. They did amazing & they're still doing amazing, but compared to the Boybands, Emblem3 should have been on top.
We wish you all the luck in the world on your new adventures Drew!
I wish they have more fans. They're better than Fifth Harmony for god's sake. They should get more attention.
- i totally agree with you man they are amazing much better than some singers that have more fans
Fifth harmony is the best came out from x factor US so please shut up
Dude, you can't say anyone is better than anyone. 5h worked damn hard for their sucess and I know emblem3 does too and I love them both. Stop comparing
They're better than 5h???? lmfao next joke please
Not A joke. Just the cold,hard, truth.
Idk why I keep coming back here I’m such a really big fan of them still
“ i predict big things for you guys”..no one knows them
Daaaamn
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 .
Keatons awkward movements
They're soooo amazing!!❤️💙💜
This is the Emblem3 that I fell in love with.
OMG Keaton's dance moves are so cute I love theses guys ❤️️
They're so cute my heart can't take it
I went to see them in concert and the thing they do best is getting the audience hyped up, I really really like them :)))
