Over the years of reality talent shows, there have definitely been some weird auditions, and Britney Spears found out first-hand what it was like to have an uncomfortable moment with an “X Factor” contestant during yesterday’s auditions.

The “Toxic” songstress actually got up and left the set as a man dressed in drag tried to do justice to her hit song “You Drive Me Crazy.”

And it wasn’t just Spears who was stunned by the ‘performance.’ Demi Lovato, LA Reid, and Simon Cowell all had adverse reactions.

Simon ended up being the only judge who stayed for the duration of the audition, telling the man, "I don't think she quite understood your tribute."

The hopeful declared, "I had to fight real hard to get here," and Britney shared, "I really respect the tribute. It was really nice,” upon her return.
