And deservedly so.
Fleur East absolutely smashed her performance during this weekend’s X Factor show and it turns out, we weren’t the only ones that thought so.
The former contestant took to the stage on Sunday evening and dazzled viewers and the judges with a fantastic performance, so much so that Twitter nearly exploded.

To be fair, it’s not hard to see why.
SUCH A BUZZ TONIGHT!! You don’t understand! Hope you guys loved the performance. Thanks for having me @TheXFactor! pic.twitter.com/8tUGozPyg4

If Fleur East can dance that much and sing live at the same time, there’s no excuse for any other artist to mine… #XFactor

@FleurEast was amazing on @TheXFactor last night. Not watched this year & even I don’t agree with who went. Other guy was shockingly bad! — scott t (@scottturnbull) November 9, 2015

Lets be honest. We all knew Fleur East would do so much better than Ben Haenow. Watched her performance about 10 times. #XFactor

The General Elections of 1979, 1983, 1987, 1992, 2015 & Fleur East not winning last year’s X Factor have really shown the flaws in democracy

Bloody hell @FleurEast that was sensational – genuinely an international standard performance. Always thought she was a little star #XFactor — Dan Wootton (@danwootton) November 8, 2015
