What Is Charlie Looking For In A Song?

In the preview, Charlie can be seen crying, telling one of the contestants, “It’s just kind of surreal for me right now. You are so immensely talented.” We can’t wait to hear what song inspired such an emotional reaction from him.
Watch A Sneak Peek Of Sam Derosa
Songland has released a clip of songwriter Sam Derosa performing her original song “Pill for This.” In an interesting coincidence, Sam is Charlie’s former high school classmate.
Sam’s song especially impressed judges Ester Dean and Ryan Tedder. Ryan even got goosebumps from the performance. “That song’s on the radio right now,” Ester said, while Ryan added that he would have the chorus stuck in his head all day.
According to her website, Sam co-wrote lovelytheband’s “Broken,” and currently works with Shane McAnally, another judge on the show.

Two more of tonight’s songwriters have been announced. They include Zach Sorgen and Joel Adams. Zach is the frontman for the band Wake the Wild, and has worked with artists like Ryan Tedder and French Montana.
Joel Adams is an Australian singer-songwriter who appeared on X Factor Australia in 2012. He released his debut single “Please Don’t Go” in 2015. Check out his music video for “Fake Friends” above.
