X-Factor

Kinsey and his then-girlfriend, Sierra Deaton, appeared for auditions in The X-Factor US in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 2013.
The duo played a pared-down version of the Britney Spears hit Toxic, which immediately impressed the judges.
Kinsey and Deaton made it to the final 40 contestants, and judge Simon Cowell became their mentor.
Following a performance of the hit song “You’re the One That I Want” from the popular musical Grease, judge Demi Lovato prompted controversy when she questioned the future of the couple’s relationship.
The couple performed extremely well on the show, consistently earning the most number of public votes week in, week out until they won the final in December 2013.
They were the first group (as opposed to a solo act) to win the US version of the show.
