If you’re familiar with X Factor, you likely are familiar with Simon and how he is typically rough on the contestants. In this video, the tables were turned and you are seeing Simon in a way that is rarely ever seen. After this performer sang Jealous for the judges and the audience, Simon was visibly moved and started to cry.
Although it certainly was a heart moving performance, it was Simon’s tears that really stuck in the mind of many who saw the show that day. It was filmed not long after Simon’s mother passed away, which is something that would make any of us emotional.
