The sing off is going to be between 4th Impact, Shayne Ward and Olly Murs. I want all judges to state the name of the act they want to leave the competition

I vote 4th Impact to leave the competition

I vote Olly Murrs to leave as he was my lowest score

Regretfully it's gonna be Olly.

Olly.

Oh well that's me left with no acts.

The next theme for the final 8 is....

X factor iconic performances, but you can't choose your acts own performance obviously, so a memorable moment on x factor that song you will use for your acts

Bump for Vanessa Barry and Kate

Sorry Jake will do now

Sorry. My nephew is over at the moment. Not much time to look for songs. I'll have a look later.

Does that include auditions?

Sent mine

I'm taking big risks this round.

I've come down with the flu as well :bawling:
I'll try to do to tomorrow.

Songs sent.

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!

Fabulous. I still have 3 acts. Really pleased.

The themes for the quarter final. It's two songs they each have to take on. The themes are Rock and Divas

I'm going to do this today. This afternoon. Sorry for keeping you waiting Jake x

All done. 6 songs sent.

Sorry. Busy. Will definitely do this after work.

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;

I'll do my scores soon.

I'll do mine in a bit. I'm having coffee. Just woke up from my nap :laugh:
