An audition from this year’s X Factor has gone viral for all the wrong reasons — and the internet is completely divided.
During what seemed like a standard performance, one contestant walked onto the stage carrying a small fruit-blending machine… and a box of live birds.
At first, the judges — and the audience — assumed it was part of a symbolic act. But as the performer slowly reached toward the blender with one of the birds in hand, gasps and screams echoed throughout the theater.
The clip circulating online cuts off just before the moment of impact — leaving viewers unsure whether what they were witnessing was real, staged, or something in between.
Some believe it was a dark artistic metaphor, while others are calling for investigations, demanding that the producers release the full footage to confirm that no harm was done.

Animal rights groups have already reacted, urging the show’s team to clarify what happened behind the scenes.
“This is either a disturbing prank or one of the most unethical moments in television history,” one viewer posted.
While many are left shocked, others are desperate to see the full clip — to understand what truly unfolded in the final seconds.
