The “X Factor” judges debuted a hysterical music video on Wednesday’s “X Factor,” inspired by a Karmin-like rap duo named Second Hand High.

The contestants surprised the panel with their original rap song, “Ask Me to Dance,” which was pretty catchy and impressive in a weird way.

Their audition, however… not so much.

But when Kelly Rowland, Demi Lovato, and even Simon Cowell put together their own version — well, that was must-see TV.

Simon Cowell talked about his impending fatherhood and even hinted at marriage plans in an interview with Ryan Seacrest on Tuesday.

AUDIO BELOW

The music producer told his former “American Idol” colleague that finding out he’s having a baby with Lauren Silverman, who was still married to Cowell’s friend at the time, wasn’t the easiest news to process.

“[But] Lauren and I get along really well and once I got used to the idea I thought, ‘I think this is going to be very good,” explained Cowell.

So, does he plan to put a ring on it?

Cowell coyly replied, “Let’s put it this way, I wouldn’t expect her to be a single mother.”

There is one rite of passage, however, that’s definitely out for Cowell — watching Silverman give birth.

“I know this sounds awful, but it’s like you don’t want to go in to the restaurant while they’re making your dinner,” said the “X Factor” judge. “I think there are certain things you shouldn’t see and that is one of them. I’ll be very close by, but no.”

Simon Cowell appeared on Tuesday’s “Ellen DeGeneres Show,” and he explained why Britney Spears lasted just one season on “The X Factor.”

She “couldn’t talk.”

Cowell said that Spears was originally hired because the various singing competition shows were going after the biggest stars possible, such as “American Idol” landing Jennifer Lopez and “The Voice” getting Christina Aguilera.

But, as DeGeneres pointed out, Spears is “not a big talker,” which Cowell admitted turned into a “bit of a problem.”

While he “liked” her, Cowell said Spears was “very uncomfortable” with the format.
