Alex & Sierra completely reinvented a hit Taylor Swift song on “The X Factor” on Wednesday.
After a new take on “Best Song Ever” last week, the couple reimagined “I Knew You Were Trouble” to fit with the episode’s “Big Band” theme, earning raves from the judges for their original take on such a popular song.
“Y’all sound great together,” said Kelly Rowland, adding, “Your personality this week, Sierra, and all your charisma — you shined like the star that you are. Both of you shined this week.”
Demi Lovato admitted that at first she thought she “hated” the rearrangement, “but you guys made me like it.”
“That’s what’s really awesome about it. It’s so different than the original song, and I love the original song,” she went on. “That’s what artists do. You turn a song into your own and you guys nailed it. I thought you did great.”
Paulina Rubio gushed, “Just the way you guys love each other, you make me feel in love as soon as I see you guys.”
She went on to note, “And I think you have an amazing spot in the music [industry]. Nobody like you in the market.”
Mentor Simon Cowell said Alex & Sierra chose the song themselves as soon as they heard the theme, and commended the pair for not making an “obvious” choice, but a “cool” one instead.
“I think doing what you did with that song was clever,” said the music producer, calling it “a great, great vocal performance.”
