TOP 12 sing Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky”.
Next: The story of last night – THE RECAP
Ellie Goulding performs her first UK #1 hit “Burn”. Not a great vocal performance. Expected as the song isn’t that easy to sing and Ellie isn’t really a strong singer.
5 minute warning!
Commercial break.
Pop Idol winner Will Young is releasing “The Essential Will Young” tomorrow. I bet it’s RCA releasing his “Greatest Hits” collection now that he signed with one of the Universal labels.
Phone lines are now closed.
There is no deadlock. In case of a tie, flash vote loser goes home.
Diva Cher is next, performing a cover of Miley Cyrus’ song “I Hope You Find It”. From “The Last Song” movie. Yep, Cher is covering Miley Cyrus.
Results after the next commercial break.

Lorna Simpson is in the bottom 2. Sharon Osbourne has 2 acts in the sing-off. YIKES.
It’s Shelley Smith vs. Lorna Simpson.
Shelley Smith – One Night Only (Jennifer Hudson)
Strong vocal performance.
Lorna Simpson – There You’ll Be (Faith Hill)
Another big voice.
Sharon: Refuses to vote.
Louis: sends home Lorna Simpson.
Gary: sends home Shelley Smith.
Nicole: sends home Lorna Simpson.
Both are fodder in the competition, but the judges sent home the one with a little more potential. Oh well, less competition for the other 10 acts.
Next week’s theme: songs of love and heartache
Guest performers: Katy Perry and Robin Thicke

She once sang about turning back time – and, if her performance on the X Factor was anything to go by, Cher has done exactly that.

Displaying line-free skin and incredibly glossy hair, the singer could’ve passed for somebody twenty years her junior.
