Way to go, X Factor. You had one job.

If you voted after last night's episode of The X Factor, then it breaks our heart to tell you that your votes just do not matter. Because of a graphics error that came at the end of last night's East Coast airing, Fox has decided to cancel the voting and start over again tonight.

"As a result of a graphics error during the performance recap at the end of East Coast broadcast of The X Factor, the Top 13 acts will perform their 'Save Me' songs for America's re-vote, in a live, one-hour performance show airing on Thursday, Nov. 7," the network explained in a statement.

Basically, your favorite acts get a second chance to impress America.

Judge Simon Cowell, who you'd think would be ranting about the error, instead took to Twitter to see the silver lining of the revote.

"Mistakes happen. But now I have 24 hours to prepare my groups for tomorrow night. Let's hope they all deliver," he 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."

Cowell added: "And for a couple of contestants they must be thanking their lucky stars they get to sing another song tomorrow."

Will you be voting again tonight? Let's hope there aren't any more errors so we can finally see which acts have to face the end of their X Factor journey.
