16 Year-Old Ed Sheeran auditions for Britannia High (2007)

Britannia High was a short-lived UK TV series (a scripted musical drama, like Glee and Fame) about a performing arts school. (It wasn't a real school!) Ed Sheeran was one of the young hopefuls who endured a grueling audition process in 2007 for the six lead roles. The casting team recognized his unique talent and appeal, but he wasn't cast. (You can see how much his dancing has improved by watching his video for Thinking Out Loud.) These are excerpts from a 44 min behind the scenes documentary.
Another favorite of mine, Matthew James Thomas, played Jez in the 9 Britannia High episodes and went on to star in Pippin on Broadway.
For Pixie Lott's moments and two extra clips of Ed missing here, see this video: • 16 Year Old Pixie Lott...
Please, no disrespect in the comments to any of the young performers. Don't be cruel.

They were trying to put Ed in a box. But Ed has never fit in a box. Coz he’s bigger than any of these people combined together. He has the talent, mad guitar skills, has a voice that speaks to listener’s hearts and souls and has this great ability to relate to his fans without even trying. Ed was not meant to be put in a show like this. This kind of shows need artists who knows how to fake and Ed is nothing but.

And now this guy needs to offer MULTIPLE stadium shows in any given city to fulfil public demand. He's today's equivalent to what Michael Jackson was in the 80's. There's lessons to be learnt here, don't give up. Just like how Michael Jordan was cut from his High School basketball team, you never give up.
