Career

2013: The X Factor Australia

[edit]

JTR are originally from Sweden. They had reportedly just arrived the day they were scheduled to perform on The X Factor Australia where they auditioned with the Justin Bieber song "As Long as You Love Me",[1] with added rapping lyrics. After two weeks staying safe interpreting Ed Sheeran and Kylie Minogue songs, in week three, JTR landed in the bottom two for the first time and had a showdown contest with Barry Southgate. As a result, JTR were saved by judges Ronan Keating, Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Redfoo, with Southgate being sent home.[3]

JTR were in the final showdown again in week four with Ellie Lovegrove. After the judges decision went to deadlock, it was revealed that Lovegrove had received the fewest votes and was eliminated, with JTR being saved yet again.[4] JTR were eventually eliminated from the competition in week six following their performance of Hanson's "MMMBop", after Keating, Dannii Minogue and Redfoo chose to save Third Degree instead.[5] JTR were the sixth contestant eliminated overall in the competition.
