Three of the boys, mentored by Darenn, will reach the live stages, but it's up to the forum's votes to decide which three.

Here's a quick recap of the nine contenders...


Tabby (series 1)
The rocker auditioned with a group originally, but made it solo and managed to come third, the best of Sharon's acts!

Philip (series 2)
Louis picked rock n roll singer Philip, who ended up being the first of his acts to be eliminated

Nicholas (series 2)
Nicholas wowed the judges originally, but slowly went downhill and was voted out by Sharon in Week Five of the live shows

Shayne (series 2)
Shayne impressed the audience at home just as much as the judges, meaning he became the winner of Series 2 of the X Factor!

Ashley (series 3)
Starting off as a favourite, after forgetting his words, Ashley found himself in the bottom two, and was unable to pick himself up in the next Abba-themed week...

Ray (series 3)
After being eliminated before the judge's houses, Ray was brought back and ended up runner up to Leona Lewis!

Andy (series 4)
Andy started off promising, but a lack of interesting songs meant that he was Dannii's first act EVER to be eliminated from the show...

Leon (series 4)
Leon started off awfully in the live shows, but the judges are now claiming he's growing in confidence. He's still currently aiming for the £1million recording contract!

Rhydian (series 4)
Everyone disliked Rhydian at the beginning, but now he's the red hot favourite to win the show! He's still currently aiming for the £1million recording contract!

So there you have it...you have two days to vote for your favourite!
