I met him when he came to a little town called Napier, in New Zealand. A few years back. Got to sit back stage and watch him perform, it was the best night of my teenage life 😭😭
Wow some people are just born to perform and to be stars and this young man is one of them. I found him while watching top ten performers of xfactor he was like number 6 or 7. I immediately looked him up on wikipedia. I just knew he was a star by now and he is... Wow.
Eva Mistpaw That's pathetic, seriously. Just sitting behind your computer typing shit about him (or anyone who actually does something with their life). Really. Unless you can do better than no one cares. God shut up.
Eva Mistpaw actually, on the final week when they were producing their "winners song" the producers were shocked on how good he was that they didn't need any autotune or mixing on his voice, but i'm guessing you didn't know that.
I still remember the exact day I was watching this in my lounge and fell in love with the kid! He's come so far, love him for it. Meeting him last year was incredible!
back in the good days when he sang like a rock legend! xfactor changed his style! dont get me wrong, i love reece mastin more than anyone but i wish he was as much of a rocker as he was then!
It's fake editing. if you watch that judge in the background at 2:28 you'll see her arms are up by her face, next shot they're somehow down and she's writing.
HE'S SO YOUNG!! I was like eleven or twelve when he auditioned and I thought he was so grown up and good looking and basically already a rockstar, and now I'm 16 myself and watching this again is just really surreal. Like I try to imagine myself or someone in my year auditioning for (and winning) X-Factor and it's just crazy.
Seeing him first walk on stage, then walking off a winner makes me so happy to call him my idol I have followed since day one. Seen him in concert twice, rocked the stage both times, and met him once I nearly passed out in line, when he touched me I could cry seriously, you would if your idol put his arm around you ;) ~Lil Rocker always
First kid i've seen on X factor that doesn't start off with some bullshit sob story. Probably full of himself at home but it didn't translate here. If only they were all like this....
LUREDADDY52 I know he did, but in my opinion there would have been better singers in other auditions. But it might be that hearing him live it was a completely different thing judging from the judges and audiences reactions.

This was for me the best performance he did over the whole contest because he was just himself and not what they made him!
could see him doing a Sleeping With Sirens song.
Ohmygod yes
+FootyManagerTV i was imagining him singing kick me and have no idea why XD
OH MY GOD YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
MY TWO FAV ARTISTS/BAND YES!! 😍😍😍
I've lost count how many times I have watched this, awesome
MELISSA CAPSTICK Me too💓💓😭😭💓💓
Omg 10 years ago shit i was only 7 when he auditioned. He was a big inspiration for me at the time and ill always love him
Omg same I was 7 too, was obsessed with him for ages and saw him in concert in 2013, was a highlight of my childhood fr.
Some great young talented singers in Australia. Reece has all the star qualities for sure.
Love his hairstyle!
Same
Yes
SAME!
it reminds me of a younger luke hemmings
Morgan Koon he's actually older than him haha, Reece is 20 now
I STILL LOVE REECE AND I STILL REMEMBER WATCHING HIM LIVE AT WESTFIELD
DUDE I MET HIM AT WESTFIELD LMFAO THROWBACK
DUDE SAME
Reece, Buddy, America would love you. Don't sell yourself short. God Bless You!
So America is better than Australia?
+Ryan Modra Not at all, but for musicians, it's a melting pot of gold.
+Ryan Modra Yes. And I'm currently living in Australia.
I'm sure it's quite beautiful there.
iceman76able Its boring nothings here.
funny thing is that he would have made it much bigger if he'd been on xfactor UK.
Yeah but then he would have to be in england.....its a bit of a trade off
pat gilligan that's what I'm saying. He lived in the UK before he came to Australia so if he just didn't move haha
Vanya Pillay he be more famous but would also have to put up with living in england, i think he got a good deal, less famous but not in england lol
pat gilligan England is a great place to live.
Vanya Pillay yeah i know it's not too bad i was just joking.
This kid is gonna make it. He's got the voice, the attitude and looks. Good on ya Reece!
Lol
U dumb? Music industry only works on money. This dude hasn’t been heard of since this audition. Obviously not profitable

He actually sucks at singing
Boy i feel bad for the people who help him with his music, how much mixing they have to do to make his sound normal xD
Eva Mistpaw
That's really rude and uncalled for.
Eva Mistpaw your opinion....but there's others with their own opinion thats says different which is why he's now famous.

He has come a long way since Australian x factor 2011 go recce mastin
2:28 to 2:35 that note and the judges face, priceless :3

Damn that voice is much much different than any I've heard on these factor guy videos. Phenomenal vocals.
What happened to this guy he just like disappeared??
He got sick of only singing songs the record company would allow.. so he ditched and now writes his own stuff.
@@jessmartin2054 fucking record companies..
i saw him live last night hahahaha
2 years and still watching! Still get goosebumps
Can't stop watching this video he's sooooooooo good!
Ditto!!
He is so freaking amazing! I seriously love this audition, I can't stop coming back to it! Also him and his mommy are so adorable!💙🤗🐳
Among all his performances in Xfactors, his audition is still my favorite one :))
Is it weird that he kind of reminds me of Luke from 5SOS.
yasssss 😂 😂 😁
He kinda reminded me of Ashton and Luke mixed
Saima Rahman he's lashtons child
Haha yesss (coming from a massive fan)
That girl biting her lip when the music starts yep that's me girl
christinaa 😂😂 same

This little kid already has the confidence and charisma of a rock star. He's born a rock star.
"You sound like a 20 year old that's been gigging for ten years." That's an xfactor judge for you right there. lol

watching in 2016
He possesses a great gift: talent.
ooft i miss these dayzzz
Still watching this 2 years later and so proud ❤❤❤❤

Seen him play live a few times at my local pub, always a crowd puller.
I love this audition so much
When I went an met him he was such a nice person, and even though he was sick he still went out of his way to meet his fans I absolutely love him
Adam lambert and Jesse McCartney mixed together
OMG YASSSSS😂😂😂
Hannah Coffey ooh and his face reminds me a bit of Douglas booth for some reason
Kandeel Shah The lips
he looked a bit like brad pitt and a bit like val kilmer
hahaha he's the son of brad pitt :P
yep lol
this blew my mind when i was searching up x factor auditions and i just happen to come across this one and wow best one ive ever seen
OMG!! Ilove Reece Mastin and that just made me smile soo much!!
First kid i've seen on X factor that doesn't start off with some bullshit sob story. Probably full of himself at home but it didn't translate here. If only they were all like this....
He looks like a young val Kilmer. Completely
I agree with you.
YESSSS
Ive watched this so much, this was a badass audition!
since he started till now, i can't stop smiling. i liked rock n roll now i love thanks to reece
He's very good
Imagine how much his voice would be different if he had stayed in England and had an English accent...
his accent is hardly aussie at all. you can hear he's english. his accent wouldn't be deemed "normal" here it's very pommy.
supersexymegafoxyhot because you know he’s British first then Australian second
I just love how Guy went from Contestant to Judge ❤
He gave me chills. Love him
He should do a cover of "there ain't no rest for the wicked"
Mel B, is like dammit hes 16.
oh i just like.. need to watch this everynight, how Reece started his Journey. I love u Reece.. keep singing!
His mum is literally the cutest thing ever ^.^ and Reece is amazing
fetus ashton is that you
I think Reece killed the song( in the good way XD)
Come back to this every now and again, this guy ticked every box to be a super star, dunno what happened.
Could we just talk about how adorable it is and how happy it makes me to see his mum so damn proud
I'm just wondering if that blonde is his sister or GF....
It's hard to tell... maybe both? :3
defiantly his sister...they look exactly alike!!
Mitchell Stump his sister he tells in his other videos
lol
It's his sister
he looks like dantdm...
i honestly have watched this 100ttimes !!
i love u reece
Seen him live he was great still listening 2024
He looks like luke hemmings when he was younger
no he looks like the punk version of jessie mccartny
erica Avery It's the hair.
erica Avery i was thinking more Ashton
He's the image of Val Kilmer.
Yeah but with that London fucked up teeth.
02Nawal , his hair is no picnic either........
he really got a voice...this is the first time to watch his audition. now i know why he won the x factor...i love it!!!
Still coming back to this
he looks a bit like brad pitt
a _lot_ like.
i'm so glad he went on the x factor cause before i didn't have a fav singer but now i do REECE MASTIN !!!!!
Love the song,
Love his voice,
Love him!!
Love his style!! SO HOT!! Def my type ;p
he's good... but why do I even wonder... was he really THAT good?
AMYAS Seek Truth I went and saw him the other day in Newcastle nsw for is low key tour and he’s soooooo good it’s crazy !!!
Love his name. Great audition.
oh i'm here to watch again.. 😍
He looks like a young Brad Pitt with bad teeth
+Bryan Le Brad Pitt had bad teeth before he had the money to fix them
+johnathon edgar lol no he didnt
'Stralia found their Bieber.
Bieber? This guy has talent!
Gibson Lover
like a lolly pop
just watching this makes me cry. hes come so far.
I met him at his Adelaide concert and he is lovely! So talented!
1:21 did he just say Australia is a country 😴
Australia is a country... and a continent
I noticed that too 💀
I honestly don't think he was all that good in this audition. But good for him! And his sister looks like Miley Cyrus.
He was good enough to win that year.
LUREDADDY52
I know he did, but in my opinion there would have been better singers in other auditions. But it might be that hearing him live it was a completely different thing judging from the judges and audiences reactions.
I miss this Reece so much!
I just love this guy!!!
Bella is wayyy better
yes bella was not in the same league as this guy. Bella is a natural and has real talent, this guy is a punk that got a pass no doubt.
He looks like my ex boyfriend....
Is that you Jonny..?
Haha, no. xD but they have similar hair and facial features.
Scott Williamson he must of got it from his mam. 0:38
Hahaha! Okay? Manya surve
why is he your ex then? lol
man i love it too, he's great singer like a rockstar
This is the first time ive actually like somebody proformence oh x factor. Just keep up the good work and never hive up no mater what people say.
He was not that great
Which is why he won the whole thing, yeah definitely?!!??
reece is an amazing man, artist and soul. i won a competition to sing with him at one of his shows and he was so supportive and incredibly talented
He's not a phenomenal singer, but he's definitely a rock talent, and that's all he claimed to be.
He lived around the corner from me. He was a cock
Codex1 he is an amazing singer because I feel like there’s something wrong your ears
I'm sorry but no. He won't be legendary.
I was obsessed with this series him and Christina I loved it
Looking back at this now, and seeing what he has accomplished so far... amazing. Just amazing. I love Reece Mastin , and I'm a proud LilRocker! :')
was scary spice always that gross looking?
Bryan Bennegin Same face now, but smoking hot body now that she's trimmed down...
hes not that good, theres probably a handful of kids just in my school that could sing better than him.
Im Salty So these handful of kids could win the X Factor?
You are salty...
+tocraftyy welcome to the internet
Speechless he's so good!
Reece Mastin Voice is the best, Perfect and Flawless, Fantastic, I love it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
