Contestants of X Factor USA must perform their songs again after the wrong voting numbers were displayed on screen.
In an online statement, the show said; “As a result of a graphics error (incorrect voting numbers were displayed on screen) during the performance recap at the end of tonight’s East Coast broadcast of THE X FACTOR, the Top 13 acts will perform their “Save Me” songs for America’s re-vote.”
“The results from tomorrow night’s vote will be revealed next week on THE X FACTOR airing Wednesday, Nov. 13 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.”
Judge Simon Cowell tweeted:
It’s happened once before. It’s live tv. You have to deal with it, tough for the contestants though. But you have to dig deep and deliver.

The TV mogul added:
And for a couple of contestants they must be thanking their lucky stars they get to sing another song tomorrow.
