They Laughed When She Stepped on Stage, But She Proved Looks Can Be Deceiving…

We’ve all heard the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”

It’s a lesson even reality show judges sometimes forget, only to relearn each episode. This was definitely the case when a woman named Panda Ross took the stage on *The X-Factor*.

Panda, hailing from New Mexico, faced some skepticism from the judges, especially when Simon questioned the origin of her unique name.

Despite their doubts and just recovering from pneumonia, Panda was determined to deliver an unforgettable audition.

Her voice stunned everyone, filling the room with raw power and emotion. She didn’t just perform—she wowed the judges, even winning Simon over.

After her remarkable performance, the judges praised her wholeheartedly. L.A. captured the moment, saying, “I can’t deny how good that was… You moved this room.” Simon, too, was impressed, adding, “Panda, you sound like a legend.”
