GILROY, Calif. - A 16-year-old from Gilroy is in the process of taking America by storm -- moving onto the 'bootcamp' portion of this season's X-Factor competition.

His name is Austin Corini, and he seems to be a crowd favorite so far.

Tonight, after he sang, judge L-A Reid said "I didn't think he nailed the song", but Simon disagreed, saying "I think people will like him".

You can watch an interview with him here.
