Last week, each judge - Billy, Shaun, Z & Darenn - were given their catergory and had to decide which three acts from that catergory they wanted in the live shows. All have decided, and it's now time for the First Live Show, with the theme of UK Number Ones

So let's welcome our judges and contestants for the first time!




Diana Vickers
Alisha Bennett
Leona Lewis


Same Difference
Voices With Soul
Eton Road


Austin Drage
Leon Jackson
Shayne Ward


Ruth Lorenzo
Ben Mills
Brenda Edwards

These are the twelve contestants that will be performing tonight. However, the voting process will be working slightly differently, and all will be revealed at the end of the show, along with a major twist. The results will happen later today.

Shaun cannot be here at the moment to represent his three acts, and if he cannot be here in the future, we will need a replacement, so let me know if you are interested to fill in (though it won't be needed for the first live show).
