Dreamy dad Joseph Whelan surprised them with a rocking performance of the Led Zeppelin classic ‘Whole Lotta Love,’ a tune that the X Factor Global audience will never forget.

The 26-year-old tool salesman was well-liked by the female audience members even before he said a word, and the judges had a hard time hearing them over their boisterous catcalls.

Whelan might have had a good appearance, but there was much more to him than met the eye—the young man could rock like nobody’s business.

Robert Plant’s screams are usually hard to give credit to, but Whelan perfectly captured the mix of raw fury and hint of croon.

The judges exchanged excited glances as his scream entered the chorus, and the roof fell off the joint.

His X Factor Global audition is one of the most watched videos on the platform with 50 million views.
