Finnish singer Saara Aalto was up early on Saturday night’s first X Factor live show and wowed viewers with a haunting rendition of Let It Go.
But unfortunately it wasn’t her performance that caught the attention of X Factor fans, but the fact her own judge couldn’t remember where she was from.
Introducing her act, Sharon Osbourne said: “She’s come all the way from Norway”, before being shouted down by the live audience and fellow judge Louis Walsh.
Norway or Finland. Who cares? That was incredible. #XFactor

Sharon is having an absolute shocker, fairly sure she's never actually met Saara #XFactor

“She’s Finnish” yelled Louis to the delight of viewers.

The girl from Finland is the best so far! #XFactor Sharon Osborne clearly knew she was Finnish but said Norway to try and be funny for TV

However her beautiful version of Let It Go from Disney’s Frozen left Sharon saying: “I don’t care where you are from because you can sing.”
