Jai Waetford was a 14 year-old contestant from Campbelltown, New South Wales when he sang two songs at his audition for The X Factor. The first song was “Different Worlds” by Jes Hudak and the second was an original song titled “Don’t Let Me Go”. He lives with his mother Alana Dow and grandparents Hannah and Roger Dow. Waetford’s father, who now lives in Switzerland, left him and his mother when he was young. However, they still keep in contact. Waetford has been compared by many to Justin Bieber.
