Tonight we finally reached the first live show of The X Factor 2015 - so it was a pretty important episode tonight to say the least!
We saw some spectacular performances, as well as that Adele rendition - yes, we're trying to block it out too. Plus there was Rita's hair, which drew a fair few comparisons.
Digital Spy was watching along, and rounded up the best Twitter reactions of the evening.
A lot of people were missing Dermot:
Don't get me wrong I love olly and caroline but I miss dermot. He was so smooth when it came to presenting. #XFactor
