During X Factor: USA‘s Top 10 week, Josh Krajcik sang The Pretender by Foo Fighters. Krajcik was Nicole Scherzinger’s last contestant from her Over 30s category to perform. Fortunately for Krajcik, the week’s theme was rock and he was the one true rocker among the contestants. The 30-year-old belted out the lyrics and did an amazing job with his version of The Pretender.

The authentic performance blew both the audience and the judges away. Josh Krajcik even earned X Factor: USA‘s grumpiest judges’ praise. Simon Cowell said, “Bloody fantastic.” It was obvious by the end of the judges’ critiques that Krajcik was among one of the higher rated singers of the night.
