To be fair, we think he did a pretty good job.  We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, it’s a brave, brave person who tries to cover an Adele song. Particularly a song that has become as rapidly enormous as Hello. https://youtu.be/x81hAKwQpN4 Despite the fact that everyone was inwardly screeching "No!!!", Ché Chesterman took on the massive song on tonight’s X Factor and nearly sent Twitter into meltdown by doing so.

Has someone messed up their song, Che? #XFactor
