The X Factor reportedly featured just eight minutes of songs in its hour-long show on Saturday, according to The Mirror, which doesn't seem very much for a singing contest, but never mind...
In amongst all the sob stories and footage of contestants drinking coffee, there were a couple of performers with decent voices, one of whom was 44-year-old Melanie Masson.
Viewers were led to believe Masson was a full-time mother and were stunned when she sang an incredibly powerful version of Janis Joplin's Cry Baby.
Guest judge Anastacia told Masson, described as a 'stay at home mum': "You killed it like that. It is never too late to have a record deal guuurl."
However, what the show failed to reveal was that she had also been working with some big music stars for the last 15 years.
The 'undiscovered talent' has worked as a session vocalist with names including Kasabian, Stereophonics, Fatboy Slim and Happy Mondays and in 2007, when she was signed to EMI records, released a single.
Masson told The Sun: “Most of the work I did was ten to 15 years ago. But for the past six years I’ve been a full-time mum."
It's only the third week into the reality show's long run. Last week we reported how X Factor contestant Kye Sones, whom viewers believed to be a chimney sweep looking for a lucky break, was actually part of a signed electro-pop band until a year ago.
The Sun revealed Sones was a member of Diagram Of The Heart, who were signed to Sony Music and toured with the Scissor Sisters.
On the show, Sones was portrayed as a wannabe and was shown sweeping chimneys.
In his audition he impressed guest judge Rita Ora when he mashed her song RIP with Swedish House Mafia's Save the World Tonight. Judges Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh and Tulisa Contostavlos were also wowed.
