The Emotional performance of Josh Daniel in X Factor bring tears to the judges' eyes.

Simon Cowell one of the X Factor judges talks about his mother's death, after he returned the audition that brought him to tears.

21 year old Josh Daniel chose Labrinth's Jealous as his audition piece and dedicated to his friend who died in 2013.

Last weekend on X Factor, during Josh Daniel's performance of Labrinth's Jealous, Simon was seen crying, and the producer opened up that the song made him remember the death of his mother four days ago before the recording of the audition.

According to xpose.ie, last September 7, 2015 ,Simon Cowell said, "I mean it was quite near when it all happened and I think it was the last audition and I wasn't really expecting what happened.

"I thought, God this is going to be really hard to sit through this.But then you've got to think of [the performer] and it's his moment, but yes it was very emotional."

The boss of the X Factor opened that his late mom Julie Simon was an avid fan of the show.

"She was a huge fan of the show, she loved the show, which sort of made the decision, 'When do you go back to work on something like this? because it's hard and it really was what I thought she would have said to me which was, No 100% you've got to go back to work.''

"I think it was the last audition and I wasn't really expecting what happened and of course the lyrics of the song and it was quite difficult because I thought, God this is going to be really hard to sit through this."

He added, "But then you've got to think of him [the auditionee] and it's his moment but yes it was very emotional".

Simon explained last month that it was very difficult to be back on the show saying "I'm not going to lie. There were times it was incredibly difficult, but then there were other times I was able to switch my mind off and concentrate on what was happening and the contestants."
