In a clip from the opening episode of the new series of the ITV show, the judging panel were left speechless following an audition by vocal group Rak-Su.
The foursome performed their original song I’m Feeling You, which features a melody as well as a rap and one member even busted out some dance moves.
Initially Simon, 57, and Louis Walsh seemed uncertain about the band as they began their song, however the act managed to turn the audition around.
It was clear that the judges were amazed as Nicole Scherzinger danced away to the bouncy, upbeat track, while outside host Dermot O’Leary could be seen mouthing along the lyrics.
In fact, their performance was so good that most of the other X Factor hopefuls awaiting their own auditions could be seen on their feet and dancing around outside the room as they watched on a screen.
Viewers will have to wait until Saturday’s episode to find out if Rak-Su got the green light from the judges and made it through to the next round.
The video comes as Sharon Osbourne teased conflict with her fellow judge Nicole, 39, at The X Factor launch, saying: “There’s always conflicts, that’s what is so exciting.
She went on to say: “You can’t all just smile at each other all day long, you know. My conflict is that Nicole wanted my category and I’m so happy.”
Nicole confirmed: “I wanted the overs. I wanted to do something different because I’ve never had the overs here.
“And then there’s one person in the girls I was like, ‘I want the girls’. For me, she’s like my James Arthur.”
But the 39-year-old went on to add: “There’s no real conflict… The only real conflict is if he [Louis Walsh] has a better judges’ home and I’m like, ‘I want that one’.”
