Selena: vocally it was really good

Demi: i believed every word you sang wow

Alexandra Burke up next

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOf__gLgSiE

Selena: this was really good, maybe it sounded just a bit repetitive but i heard enough potential in you

Will: Alex, this was awesome, dope and i think you can nail every liveshow

Emily Middlemas

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI-J5FviGEU

Selena: this sounded haunting and magical wow

Demi: u got it all, the cuteness, the singing and the performer attitude


Selena: my top 3 girls are Louisa Johnson, Tamera Foster & Emily Middlemas


so Cassie Compton, Alexandra Burke and Lucie Jones are available to be chosen as a wildcard act

Brooksway

our backstage host Nicky G has a interview with Selena Gomez

Nicky: how were the judges houses

Selena: pretty good

Nicky: who were your favourite performances

Selena: Tamera, Emily and Lucie (i so hope she gets the wildcard)

Nicky: why did you pick Louisa then and not Lucie

Selena: cause i have more confident about Lucie getting the wildcard and Louisa i didn't have faith about that

Nicky: well i don't like Tamera if i'm honest, but you have every right of choosing your acts

nice having talked to you Selena babe :)

Jake, you need to choose one of the following acts fir the Wildcard.
Diana Vickers - Girls
Stacey Solomon - Girls
Ella Henderson - Girls
Lucy Spraggan - Girls
Saara Aalto - Girls
Relley C - Girls
Cassie Compton - Girls
Alexandra Burke - Girls
Lucie Jones - Girls

I honestly think Alexandra should be in an all stars X factor, as she is in my all time top 3 acts from the X factor the other two being little Mix and Leona Lewis I'm really hoping owoaje puts Leona through. I won't be choosing Alexandra however as I have had her on my team on the X factor game and she won it so I think we should let Lucie jones have her turn plus I think Nicky and Lucie would be an awesome match up so Lucie is my wildcard

Thanks! Who are your final 3 too?

Jake my final three our
Austin Drage
Rebecca Ferguson
Carolynne Poole

Sharon's judges houses this is being filmed in Hollywood at the legendary Hollywood studios

Her help will be Nicole Scherzinger and Louis Walsh

First up is Paige Richardson singing ain't nobody by Chaka khan

https://youtu.be/-SuSrRt4IrQ

Sharon: wow that blew me away honey let me tell you I forgot you were even in my team but with that performance you came through and I can see you being successful it was so good

Nicole: that was schmazing you nailed it boy

Louis: you know what you look like a ready made star I see you playing at sell out concerts

Next up is Matt Terry with writings on the wall by Sam smith
https://youtu.be/iGIAm89Ge8Y

Sharon: that was phenomenal honestly note perfect I loved it

Nicole: boy you have balls to take on a song like that you have to be in the live shows

Louis: you look like a popstars and sound like a popstar

Next up is Jahmene Douglas with let it be by the Beatles

https://youtu.be/8OSbM7tVY_g

Sharon: wow I mean you just gave that everything it was so emotional and passionate

Nicole: you hit them notes high baby cakes it was so special

Louis: I see you being in the final you deserve to be in the final

Next up is Mason Noise with sorry by Justin bieber

https://youtu.be/M524grG8pmc

Sharon: when I first found out I got this category I was a bit underwhelmed but I have to say I'm sorry, the boys are killing it today and that performance excited me you are so current that I'd be silly not to take a chance with you

Nicole: yeah that was fantastic you had me twerking and bopping and it was hot

Louis: not my cup of tea I have to say but the ladies are going to like you

Next up is James Arthur with Hometown Glory by Adele

Sharon: that was brilliant what an amazing voice you have that felt so genuine it was very good darling

Nicole: boom boom boom you killed it James

Louis: I think your my favourite Sharon has to put you in the top three

Last to perform is Luke friend with kiss from a rose by seal
https://youtu.be/KXBt1_v-Zyw

Sharon: well it wasn't note perfect but I see lots of potential in you you have s light rock vibe I like that I know how to mentor that type of act

Nicole: your different from the other boys I sensed nerves but you need to be confident because your shamazing

Louis: your unique I think you could sell records


So that's it now for the results

First up to hear their fate it's Jahmene Douglas

Sharon: I think your voice is very good with certain records it could be amazing but I need someone who can deliver week by week with the different themes I think I would struggle to mentor you as your a bit one dimensional for that reason I won't be taking you through I'm sorry

Next up is James Arthur

Sharon: you have everything going for you and what you did with that song was genius I won't waste time here your absolutely in my top three

Next up is Paije Richardson

Sharon: your very good and I have been changing my mind constantly about whether to take you through or not but I just can't see you lasting very long in the show but keep up the singing because your talented but for me it's going to have to be a no

Next up is Mason Noise

Sharon: I love the fact that your current and different from the other boys but I feel it would be such a risk to take you through. But I love taking risks I'm putting you in my top 3

So there is one more place in the lives, it's between Luke Friend and Matt Terry

Sharon: Matt you have such a lovely voice it's so powerful the girls are going to love you

Sharon: Luke your voice is authentic I think you have a very good recording voice

Sharon: Matt I wonder if there is space for you in the music industry at the moment

Sharon: Luke you need to make sure your performances are not just good but perfect and you need to work on your confidence

Sharon: but I have made my decision. The act I'm taking through as I'm very interested to mentor this boy, the boy I'm taking through is Luke Friend

My top 3 are

James Arthur/Mason Noise/Luke Friend

Boo I didn't like Carolynne Leona is so much better :shrug:

So how are the live shows going to work do we get to pick songs for our acts to suit the theme? Or are there no themes? And please tell me we get to choose songs that they haven't performed for real on the show

Give me a sec to organise JH etc

I have decided Olly Mars will re-join the Overs Category as a Wildcard.

Nicky please pick one of the following acts to complete the Final 16.
Sam Callahan - Boys
James Michael - Boys
Jack Walton - Boys
Jake Quickenden - Boys
Ryan Lawrie - Boys
Jahmene Douglas - Boys
Paije Richardson - Boys
Matt Terry - Boys

There's will be themes each week. You can pick the Song, they don't have to have sung it before.

Cool. Nicky I want wither jahmene or matt as my wildcard I need a ballad type singer so I will have all bases covered in my team

my boys wildcard, i'm deciding between

Matt & Paije


Matt: you have something really special with ballads and that sort of stuff

Paije: such a unique voice and something fiery as a performer


i choose Matt as the boys wildcard act, because i think Jake and Matt could be a match made in heaven :)

Phase 5: The Live Shows
The Live Shows see a brand new shake up this year, with brand new rules. After each performance the judges will rank each act out of 10 in the following categories; Vocals and Entertainment, giving each act a score out of 80 at the end of each Live Show. The act with the least Judges Points at the end of the Saturday show will be going home immediately. After this, the vote will open and the Sunday Show will work as normal.
As well as this, there will be the return of a Golden Buzzer for the first few weeks - where the judge can fast track one of their acts to the next week - bypassing the judges vote and the public vote. This can only be used if the judge has 2 or more acts remaining.
