Astro made a Michael Jackson track very much his own on The X Factor last night.
The young rapper changed up the lyrics to “Black or White,” a bold move that earned praise from the panel, as LA Reid told Astro he likely made the Jackson family “proud,” while Simon Cowell gushed over how the finalist made the song younger and added a great new hook.
Watch for yourself:
Other impressive performances on the night included:
- Melanie Amaro’s “Earth Song.”
- Chris Rene’s “I’ll Be There.”
- Drew Ryniewicz’s “Billie Jean.”
