X Factor UK - Top 16

Nicolo Festa is eliminated
FYD is eliminated

Belle Aimee and Wagner Carrilho should have gotten the boot tonight. But, choosing between the three acts? The right two went home. Katie Waissel deserved to stay because she sang her ass off. A boring performance from FYD did them in. Too bad Nicolo Festa was given the wrong song. He had some potential.

One down for both Dannii and Simon…

Videos and Live Recap after the JUMP…

The phone lines close in 5 minutes! Favs from last night? Louis: Aiden, Dannii and Cheryl: Mary and Simon? Wagner! Ha.

Joe McElderry performs his single, “Ambitions”. Whoa, falsetto!

The Top 16 take the stage accompanied by their mentors. Cheryl and the Boys, Dannii and the Girls, Simon and the Groups, Louis and the Over 28’s

Dermot will announces the 13 acts that are safe, in no particular order.

FYD, Katie Waissel and Nicolo Festa are left in the bottom 3. The act who received the fewest public votes is Nicolo Festa! He’s the first elimination. Dermot asks him how he feels. Nicolo says, “Like crap.” Honesty!

FYD and Katie now must sing for their survival.

FYD is first. Simon introduces them. They sing “Please Don’t Stop the Music”. PLEASE stop the music. I’m not feeling this at all.

Cheryl introduces Katie. She sings “Don’t Let Me Down”. Cheryl is redeeming herself. She’s remembering the words and her delivery is passionate. She deserves to be spared.
