Austin, you were absolutely fabulous. Fantastic vocals and a beautiful performance.

[dupin]

If you want to be Austin's hero tonight and ensure he's here next time, voting details will be announced at the end of the show...

Next up, the first of the over 25s...and it's Ruth Lorenzo

[dupin]

I chose Genie Atrapado for Ruth because it's a fantastic number #1 single, and it allows her to share her spanish passion with the audience.

And your comments for Ruth please, judges

[xDramatick]

Beautiful performance Ruth, you are a true Spanish Beauty and I hope you get far in the competition.

[Billy]

Ruth, It was absolutely flawless, stunning performance, but what would make it even better is that if I could understand the words you were singing. I know your Spanish etc, and for this week it was great, but please don't overdo it.

Well done though, good performance!

[Z]

Fantastic performance Ruth! I'm pleased to see a little bit of foreign culture creeping into the X Factor! However, I'm afraid for you, your choice may have alienated you from the public tonight, I really hope you garner a big enough fan base to get through this week. It was well sung and well performed though, congratulations.

[Billy]

I agree with Greg there, it's a good job Tibb bum you.

[dupin]

If you liked Ruth's performance, voting details will be announced at the end of the show...

Now we're back to the girls, and Billy, their mentor...

[Billy]

Next up, and she is barking to sing tongiht, it's LEONA

[dupin]

We all know Leona is a big power ballad type, but my aim with her is to break away from that. I want people to NOT get into the situation where they expect ballad after ballad from her, and we'll have to see where the fanbase with the population of America, pulls through.

"THESE WORDS" - NATASHA BEDINGFIELD



And your comments for Leona please, judges

[Billy]

Leona, we have to remember we only changed this song at the last minute, and considering the circumstances you done good. It was absolutely faultless vocally, and next week, WHEN you are back, we'll have something bigger for you!

[Z]

Well Leona, you've certainly come running out of the blocks tonight! Good performance, odd song choice, but you did it justice. I can see where Billy was coming from, but I think he's undermined you tonight. I think you could be in danger tonight.

[Billy]

Oh puhlease Greg, she has a fanbase the size of North America.

[xDramatick]

Leona that was a good performance for you, however I feel you need to unleash your voice more. A big voice from such a young girl, and we need to hear it.

[dupin]

Hold your horses, judges! Things are getting tense!

If you want Leona back next week, these words telling you how to vote for her will be announced later on.

Next, we're back to the groups, and it's Voices With Soul

[dupin]

I chose this song for Voices With Soul to show them having fun on stage, whilst being able to show off their amazing vocals. I think this song really shows what they are as a group, and I know everyone's going to love it.

"FAME" - IRENE CARA



And your comments for Voices With Soul please, judges

[Billy]

I thought the whole thing was wrong if I'm honest. Awful song choice, awful performance, and I think you could be in trouble tonight.

[xDramatick]

Oh wow. You really pulled that out of the bag. A superb performance from you ladies.

[Z]

I didn't like it, sorry. I think you could be in trouble this week, it wasn't a group performance, I think you're in danger of letting the control of the band lie with your mentor, you need to take more affirmative action guys. Sorry.

[xDramatick]

I don't know what you two are talking about. Sure, the song choice was dodgy but the ladies pulled it off.

[dupin]

Conflicting veiws from the judges here, but it's all about what you at home think for the time being - you'll find out how you can vote at the end of the show.

Next, we're going to the Over 25s again - who is it, Darenn?

[Billy]

Scuse me Darenn, your turn is over.

No, one lady pulled it off. It wasn't a group performance. I didn't like the arrangement of it, and I hope if you're still here next week, you pull your socks up girls, and just return to the group singing that we came to know and love of you!

[xDramatick]

Now it's time for a real man, Ben Mills.

[dupin]

And now Ben, the only male in my category, and he has a song that only a real man, and not a boy, could sing. It's a beautiful song that'll compliment his husky tones perfectly
