IDOLS IN MEMES: Paxton's emotional dad gives the internet life
Idols SA contestant Paxton Fielies' father had the internet in a tizz on Sunday when he was spotted crying and waving a flag supporting his daughter during her show-stopping performance on the hit music reality show.
Paxton, who is a firm fan favourite, ended the night with powerful renditions of BeyoncΓ©βs Listen and Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars.

While the judges poured praise on the young singer for her performance, the internet was more concerned about her father, who was spotted in the crowd sobbing his way through her performance.
