During tonight’s X Factor Finale, Nicole Scherzinger sang a duet with her contestant Jahmene Douglas for Whitney Houston’s ‘The Greatest Love of All.’ However, the pair suffered from a technical glitch during the performance.

One of their microphones stopped working! The pair ended up passing the only working microphone back and forth between them before coming together to complete the performance.

Check out what went down below.

Nicole was mean mugging like hell but aside from the technicality, they pulled it off nicely. It wasn’t perfect but they got through it. I’m so glad Jahmene got through after that! Does he have what it takes to win the show? It would be better for him if he doesn’t (see the extremely successful Olly Murs) but this one is too close to call.
