Jamie Archer 21

Hence why Jamie and little mix left


But last time the judges decided.who left? Confused.

[Strictly Jake]

But last time the judges decided.who left? Confused.

Jamie had the lowest score so therefore had to leave.

There were about three or four acts all on a score of 23. Little Mix had 22. Therefore there was no clear bottom 2. So little Mix got eliminated. If there's a clear bottom two then it will go to judges vote as everyone had their say anyway via your score. Now it's at the top ten only one act will be leaving per show. I'm annoyed to lose little Mix!! But hey ho that's how you all scored

[Barry.]

When’s the next theme?

[Kate!]

Sent my 90s songs for my acts

[Barry.]

Sent my 90s songs for my acts


Thanks Kate I couldn’t see where the theme was and was waiting on Jake to reply.

[Vanessa]

Sorry for the delay. I've had a lot on at work and I've been sick on top of that as well.
I have chosen the songs and I will send them after work.

[Strictly Jake]

It's 90s week on X factor All Stars and we have now reached out top 10. The acts will all be relieved to know that only one act will be eliminated. Jake only has one act left and Vanessa has all our acts remaining but who will leave this week. It's time to sing!

[Strictly Jake]

James Arthur- this was a great choice. You brought a lot of emotion to the song. This could be a hit for you. Inspired by Luke Friend who was one of my favourite x factor boys it's a shame he didn't make it further on all stars. I'm going to score this a 10!

One Direction- Finally an uptempo song choice for you. I've been dying for Kate to choose one. Finally we have seen where your strengths lie. I enjoyed this. Inspired by Rak Su another act that should have gone further in this competition. There's always next series... I'll give this a 10!

Fleur East- As much as I think this was a fantastic choice and probably your best of the whole competition so far I really really hope Barry goes uptempo for you next time we want to see some rap and flavour from you. 9.

Leona Lewis- Yikes. This was an odd choice for you. I suppose you cant do ballads constantly but yeah not sure on this. I actually hate this song although I don't mind fleurs version as much. 7.

Rebecca- this was a brilliant choice for you. I honestly think this song should be a winners single for you as I can see you being in the final. 10!

Shayne- I can see this impressed James a lot. Even though you two are battling in this contest. Your both amazing performers and both smashed your versions of this song. However I have to say this was my favourite performance from you Shayne so far. 10!

Ella- I really wish Louisa made it so much further in this competition. She so talented. Great choice for Ella too. Thie was your best yet. 10!

4th Impact- Ah my girls Little mix. I can't believe I lost them so early on in this competition. I really messed it up. So thanks for showing you girls were inspired by them. This was amazing. 10!

[Strictly Jake]

Bump

[Strictly Jake]

Bump Vanessa Kate and Barry

[Kate!]

[Strictly Jake]

I can now reveal that the two acts to achieve a perfect score and top of the leaderboard are 4th Impact and Shayne Ward.

James, One Direction, Rebecca, and Ella all got 29.

Which means the two acts leaving this week are Fleur East with 28 points and Leona Lewis with 26 points!!

[Strictly Jake]

So the Quarter Finalists are

James Arthur
One Direction
Rebecca Ferguson
Shayne Ward
Ella Henderson
4th Impact

Fabulous. I still have 3 acts. Really pleased.

[Strictly Jake]

[Strictly Jake]

1. Rebecca- Back to Black

This suited you so much this is the kind of music you need to be making. This was awesome. 10!

2. James- Feeling good

Yeah you made this your own and your really shone in this performance. 10!

3. 4th Impact- Believe

I do love this song. It's my ultimate guilty pleasure. I found this a little bit cheesy for a quarter final performance, it was borderline karaoke. But I did enjoy it. 8.

4. Shayne- Heartbreaker

It was alright. Just didn't impress me a lot. I feel there is a lot of songs that would have been a better fit for you. However it was enjoyable. 8.

5. Ella- Why

A little bit boring. But you did sound amazing. Didn't blow me away. 8.

6. One Direction- 1999

Bit risky going with a male for Divas. But I love Prince. This was a great performance. Yeah good choice. 10!


7. Rebecca- I love Rock n Roll

I'm sorry to say I just didn't think this worked. There was so much potential here and you went for a bit of an overused karaoke song. Just feel underwhelmed. 8.

8. James- Time is running out

Yeah Vanessa has really figured out the right songs to give you. This again was a brilliant choice. 10!

9. 4th Impact- Hit me with your best shot

This was so much better than your first performance. You really stood out with this and it was perfect for the quarter final. Well done. 10!

10. Shayne- Rock you like a hurricane

This was brilliant. I love you doing rock. It really works. One of your best so far. 10!

11. Ella- Alone

Oh wow. This couldn't have gone any better. 10!

12. One Direction- Livin on a prayer

This is one of those really overused songs so it can border on cheese. However I think it really suited the way you lads perform and I've been looking for you doing this sort of thing. Please keep this up and I see you in the final. 10;

[Kate!]

I'll do my scores soon.

Tributes
Ella Henderson-
This was a genius choice and showed a different side to you. I really want you in the final. 10!

One Direction-
Superb this really brought the party to the show this is one of the best performances you have done! 10!

James Arthur-
This was such a clever choice. It was unexpected but totally worked. 10!

Rebecca Ferguson-
I really enjoyed this it's been my favourite so far of the semi final. You need to be in the final for sure. 10!


Mega Stars
Ella-
I find it funny you take on your competition One Direction with a Harry Styles song. Controversial but I think I may have preferred your version. 10!

One Direction-
Yikes. Your young lads I'm not sure what Kate's giving you such an old fashioned artist here. It fell flat for me. There are so so many current artists to go for that you could have had your wow moment. Tonight it didn't happen. 7.

James-
I'm going to have to be fair now we are in the semi final. Vanessa you have once again given James a song he already performed on his series of X factor. I think this is a bit unoriginal to do. You also did the same last week with feeling good...but now we are in the semi final I'm gonna take away some points as Kate thought outside the box. 7.

Rebecca-
Did not expect this at all. This was incredible. 10!

Good point. If anyone fancies being a guest judge and scoring and commenting on these performances please do.

[Kate!]

:tongue: in defense of Barry Manilow, he's timeless. And he can sure pack out a stadium.

[Vanessa]

:tongue: in defense of Barry Manilow, he's timeless. And he can sure pack out a stadium.

Definitely.

[Vanessa]

I nearly went with Take That instead of Adele, but chickened out :laugh:

Tributes

Ella: At Last is a real MEGA firecracker of a song, and you slayed it with such ease gurl 10

One Direction: The Way You Guys Make us feel, we're bopping to this fantastic performance, i only feel a shame we can give a 10 as highest score, because this deserves 15 or 20, but 10

James: you deffo made this your own, whereas this song is hugely famous in terms of George's charismatic and sexy vocals, yours is more raw, edgy, you do give it your own authentic twist because of that, this was a risk, and tbh you need to be risky at this stage the semi finals, no i didn't love it, i adored it 10

Rebecca: a top notch diva song for a classy, stylish and sexy diva queen, i dare even say, you did it better than Whitney, this was mega geile kino (to quote der pop titan Dieter Bohlen) wow amazing! 10


Mega Stars

Ella: this is a very nice song, first time i heard a female version of it though, but yes you showcased another side to you, more intimate rather than big, bold, showstopping, and in concerts you need versatility regarding your repertoire (to say in that beautiful word) i have winner vibes with you baby 10

One Direction: agree with Kate there, Manilow is very timeless, and i add his style is very cheesy, fun, uplifting, this was a nice performance, although would more want this in a week 4 or 5 stage of the competition, not sure in terms of competitiveness in a semi final, 9

James: you say unoriginal Jake, but i personally don't mind performing songs what they've already done before, this song just fits well with you James, also taking on Adele and doing it justice deserves some applause all the time tbh, this was good 9

Rebecca: good, but tbh Umbrella i know mainly from Baseballs ''elvisfied version'' nowadays, i prefer baseballs over rihanna version too, this was good, but not wow for me, just good and thats okay too 8

[Vanessa]

I really don't mind who wins. I've enjoyed this. :blush:

[Kate!]

I'd be happy to win and equally pleased for Vanessa if she takes the crown.

[Kate!]

Thanks for your scores and comments Nicky. Good job.

[Vanessa]

Thanks Nicky.

[Kate!]

Bumping for Barry's scores

[Barry.]

I’ll score now

[Barry.]

TRIBUTES THEME

First up is Ella Henderson with at last by Etta James
What a way to start. She’s a class act. Also fit with Ella’s style. 10

Next up is One Direction with The way you make me feel by Michael Jackson
Interesting choice and bold tbh. This wasn’t my fave song from him but it’s catchy and I usually sing out the chorus. 9

Next is James Arthur with Careless Whisper by George Michael
Ugh just great! You really gave it your all with this song and with a big megastar you did him justice. 10


Next up is Rebecca Ferguson with so emotional by Whitney Houston
Great pick. I’m happy it wasn’t really the obvious choices from Whitney songs like Danve with somebody or Always love you. 9

MEGA STARS THEME


Ella Henderson with Falling by Harry Styles
Ok so it was fine. Not the biggest Harry fan but he was fine. 8

One Direction with Lets hang on by Barry Manilow
Oh ok. So I kind of get it but it was a big risk. 8


James Arthur with Hometown Glory by Adele
Again, another interesting song choice but it was a great choice you made. 9

Rebecca Ferguson with Umbrella by Rihanna
I get why you chose umbrella but I got sick of this song for the longest time lol but it’s a fine song. 8

[Kate!]

Thank you Barry for your scores and comments.
