As the country continues to mourn the victims of the tragic Newtown shooting, The X Factor USA launched their season finale episode with a solemn message from Simon Cowell and a tribute rendition of Michael Jackson's 'You Are Not Alone' for the victims.

"Words cannot describe what happened a Sandy Hook Elementary School last week," Cowell began. "We're all deeply saddened by the tragedy and our hearts right now go out to the families, you will always be in our prayers and you will always be in our heats, and this it our tribute to you."
