Scott Bruton voted off X Facto

SIMON COWELL lost his first act last night as Scott Bruton was voted off X Factor.

The 19-year-old sung for survival against Daniel Evans after receiving the least viewer’s votes.

But his performance of I Can’t Make You Love Me wasn’t enough to save him as judges chose to keep Daniel in the competition.

Holding back the tears he said: “I’d just like to thank all my friends and family for believing in me.”

Earlier in the night Scott performed That’s Life as part of X Factor’s Big Band themed night.

Mentor Simon said: “A couple of years ago that performance would have kept you in, but the standard was really high tonight.”

Scott Bruton – That’s Life

I sat down in my chair happy in the knowledge that the Pontins Blue Coat would deliver a performance worthy of me throwing pop corn at the television.

Imagine how annoyed I was when he opened his mouth and actually belted out That’s Life in a performance to be proud of.

And then he got voted off.

Damn you, Louis, Cheryl and Dannii. Damn you.

Daniel Evans – Lady Is A Tramp

Blah blah blah blah blah.

If I wanted karaoke I’d go to a karaoke bar – not tune in to prime time ITV.

Laura White – God Bless The Child

Yep, a cracking performance. But the way the judges banged on about it you’d have thought it was a revived Frank Sinatra up on stage.

Eoghan Quigg – L-O-V-E

There was something quite unnerving about watching this doughy-eyed lad trying to be all jaunty – a bit like when someone over the age of 40 tries to use the phrase “Am I bovvered”.

Ruth Lorenzo – Summertime

Well that was quite a dress - in fact all else about her performance escapes my mind. I’ll just assume it was fantastic.

Alexandra Burke – Candy Man

Well well well. After two wholly disappointing weeks she pulled out the performance of the series so far.

On a scale of one to foxy, she looked pretty darn foxy-licious, and her song and dance was full of personality.

This cheeky little minx just became my favourite.

Austin Drage – Mack The Knife

And while Alex was the best performance, Austin’s was the most fun. I actually found myself smiling and tapping my shoe.

This song has been done to death over the years – murdered by half the people who’ve attempted it – but this lad actually pulled it off.

And what made it better was his dad shrugging his shoulders after the performance and saying with a smirk, “It was alright, I suppose”.

JLS – Ain’t That A Kick In The Head

I went to see Five Guys Named Mo a few years back and these lads reminded me a lot of that show with this performance.

There was a lot of interaction between the guys which was fun to see, but ultimately their vocals let them down.

Diana Vickers - Smile

PUT ON SOME SHOES.

We get it, you’re kooky, you’re different, you’ve got a little girls voice. Well done. Now go to Clarkes.

It’s annoying because this was actually her best performance, but I could enjoy it because I spent the whole time battling the urge to throw my own shoes at the telly.

Rachel Hylton – Feeling Good

Finally a song that this woman could get her teeth into. She absolutely stormed it.
