EXCLUSIVE: X Factor hopefuls Roxxy Montana are the granddaughters of legendary soul singer Marvin Gaye

Undercover act: Roxy Montana impressed the judges without revealing they are the grandchildren of Motown legend Marvin Gaye
While many people over zealously announce even the faintest celebrity connection, Marvin Gaye’s grandchildren showed remarkable reticence during their X Factor auditions.
Instead of plugging their link to the musical legend, his three grandchildren kept their mouths shut and let their talent do the talking.  Performing under the name of ‘Roxxy Montana,’ the three sassy sisters from Detroit were simply announced as a girl group who hope to ‘inject a bit of Motown flair’ to the proceedings
Big fan: This is potentially one of the best groups we've ever had on X Factor, said father-to-be Simon Cowell
The girls, who are in their early twenties, nailed Jennifer Hudson’s soaring track One Night Only from the Dreamgirls movie.‘It’s been a long time since we’ve had a girl group who absolutely sings their faces off,’ enthused judge andDestiny’s Child founder Kelly Rowland.
‘This is potentially one of the best groups we’ve ever had on X Factor,’ said father-to-be Simon Cowell, while conceding that didn’t include the groups he has ‘put together himself’ such as One Direction.
