Contestants on X Factor USA will have to perform again tonight after a graphics-based technical problem caused a vote foul up.
Last night's programme showed the wrong voting numbers pop up on screen for the acts.
The bizarre event will mean viewers will now have to vote again after the new round of songs and the results will be shown next week.
Show boss Simon Cowell updated fans on Twitter, saying: "A lot of you noticed there were some problems with the voting numbers at the end of the show tonight...you were right!
"There was an issue so everyone has to sing their save me song live tomorrow and America will vote on that performance.
"Mistakes happen. But now I have 24 hours to prepare my groups for tomorrow night. Let's hope they all deliver.
"Now they will understand what pressure means."
Music mogul Simon Cowell has Alex & Sierra, Restless Road and Sweet Suspense under his wing in this year's show and explained the problems are all due to X Factor USA being pumped out live.
Cowell, 54, tweeted: "It's happened once before. It's live TV. You have to deal with it, tough for the contestants though. But you have to dig deep and deliver.
"And for a couple of contestants they must be thanking their lucky stars they get to sing another song tomorrow."
