What a performance!

The Irish are taking over The X Factor these days, with Joseph McCaul banging out a Whitney Houston track on the auditions Saturday night, and Tipperary lad Anton Banaghan wowing everyone.

The 21-year-old took to the stage in front of this year’s judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Rita Ora and Nick Grimshaw and absolutely blew them away with his version of Budapest by George Ezra.

The crowd were on their feet and Cheryl told the talented lad: “Everything you did on stage took star quality and you have star quality.”

While Simon wasn’t his biggest fan, Anton still booked his spot in Boot Camp.

Other highlights of the show including the judges getting into an ice-cream fight…

And the audition that Cheryl dubbed as having the greatest back story ever.

The X Factor continues Sunday night… and Boot Camp is coming!
