«Breaking News» The X Factor final: Viewers are left SPEECHLESS as show opens with a kids performance of Baby Shark

It's not been a stellar year for The X Factor - and so perhaps the opening performance of the 15th season's grand finale was, in fact, befitting.

Viewers were left baffled as the show opened with a performance of South Korean children's song Baby Shark, seemingly out of no-where on Sunday night.

The premise behind this was that Simon Cowell's son, Eric, four, had 'taken over' from his dad and authorised the opening act, as set up by a VT at the start of the show.

Jumped the shark? X Factor viewers were left baffled as the season finale opened with a performance of South Korean children's song Baby Shark, seemingly out of no-where, on Sunday

But fans of the series - half of whom arguably might not have children - didn't have a clue what they were seeing unfold on their TV screens as a group of people dressed as sharks took to Wembley Arena and chanted the lyrics 'Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo, Mommy shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo, Grandma shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo, Let’s go hunt, doo doo doo doo doo doo!'

'What on earth am I watching?' came one puzzled viewer, followed by another who typed: 'Is this for f**king real? Wtf!' 

'Why the f**k is the x factor playing baby shark is this really what it’s come to now?' another angry viewer demanded.

'This is absolutely cringe and a bad idea for TV this shark s**te,' another remarked, as someone else posted: 'Am i on drugs or whats going on?'

'BABY SHARK. I am dying at what this show has become?' wrote another horrified tweeter.

U okay, hun? The premise behind this was that Simon Cowell 's son, Eric, four, had 'taken over' from his dad and authorised the opening act, as set up by a VT at the start of the show

Bizarre: Fans of the series - half of whom arguably might not have children - didn't have a clue what they were seeing unfold on their TV screens as a group of people dressed as sharks took to Wembley Arena and chanted the lyrics 'Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo'

Another scathing tweet read: 'Remember when #XFactor final brought together some of the best artist in the world now in 2018 they’re opening the show with Baby Shark. I can not.'

Followed by, 'Dancing sharks & s**t Scouse singer Anthony shouting about a riot,' and, 'Reason number 1,000,001 to love #LouisTomlinson: He refused to stand for Baby Shark!'

Baby Shark first appeared in 2007, but has recently resurfaced as a viral craze, staring in Southeast Asia. 

K-pop bands then caught on, performing the routine at their own concerts and last summer the Baby Shark Challenge swept the net.

It's gaining on racking up two billion YouTube views and ended up in the UK Top 40, beating names such as Keala Settle and Cardi B.

The performance somewhat overshadowed the fact that 'serious' artists, Dalton Harris, Scarlett Lee and Anthony Russell were battling out for a record deal with Cowell's label, SyCo.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
