Nicole Scherzinger Amazing Performance on X-Factor

Nicole Scherzinger is still trying to make people forget about the Rachel Crow fiasco from last week, you know that thing where Scherzinger couldn't decide whether to send home Rachel Crow or Marcus Canty and so she put the vote to something called a "deadlock" and then proceeded to bawl her eyes out while Rachel Crow also bawled her own eyes out? Yeah, well, you'll forget all about THAT when you watch THIS!

Okay, have you watched Nicole Scherzinger's performance yet? It's like the best, right? Scherzinger unveiled her new single "Pretty" on last nights elimination episode of "X-Factor" and it's really good.

First things first, Nicole can sang! 10 Seconds into the song and she's already got a standing ovation from Paula Abdul. Okay girl, calm down, now you have to stand up for 3 more minutes, bad idea.

The song is a break-up, look-at-me-know, this-is-why-I-hate-you anthem song and Nicole was growling on the track like her life depended on it!

As this was her first time performing on the X-Factor stage, she told host Steve Jones, "Oh my gosh, I've been waiting so long to be up here, it feels amazing."

Then, as if Nicole were an X-Factor contestant herself, SImon "critiques" the performance himself in his best parody of Scherzinger's typical gushy delivery.

"I believe in you, you believe in me, you transcend the universe. God is smiling on you, life is a waterfall and you are the ultimate rainbow," joked Cowell.

Great imitation Cowell! Great performance Scherzinger! Nice standing ovation Paula Abdul and great smile LA Reid! High fives all around!
