We’ve all heard the phrase, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” but sometimes even talent show judges need a reminder. That’s exactly what happened when Panda Ross took the stage on The X-Factor.

A proud New Mexico native, Panda immediately sparked curiosity—especially from Simon, who questioned the story behind her unique name. Despite recently recovering from pneumonia, she was determined to make her moment count.

The second she started singing, the entire room was captivated. Her voice was rich, powerful, and overflowing with emotion. It wasn’t just a performance—it was a moment of pure artistry that commanded attention, even from the toughest critics.

As the final note lingered in the air, the judges were left in awe. L.A. Reid couldn’t deny her talent, admitting, “You moved this room.” Even Simon, known for his sharp critiques, was thoroughly impressed, declaring, “Panda, you sound like a legend.”
