Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our first ever live show of The A* Factor!
We are down to a Final 13 comprised of acts from the 2016 series of the UK X Factor and now it's time to begin the live shows. Our acts are now ready to face the competition and the theme for tonight's show is 'EXPRESS YOURSELF'. The acts will perform songs that represent them as artists in the hope to make it to the next show.

Now opening the first ever live show is a big responsibility and it's been given to someone who usually performs last in the real version! Kicking off the show, the first of the girls; it's Emily Middlemas!

Well, Emily, when I decidedto have you, I wanted to take a different direction than the real show did. I didn't want to give you boring drab week in, week out. While this isn't the most uptempo song in the world, it's still a step in a different direction, and I think it worked! I hope to see you through, or at least make movie week (if there is one), because I have the PERFECT song for you then!!!
(Also congrats on opening the series, it's a big task :cool:)
Now it's time to go the boys and their mentor Danyal. The next act never made it to the live shows after Nicole sent him packing; but Danyal sees something in him she didn't. It's James Hughes!

While at first I thought this wasn't a great song for you, after re-listening, it's actually rather good! It suited your voice, and while the original version suited you just fine, the cover was pretty good too. Overall, solid job :cool:
Now it's over to Riley and his Over 25s! The next act never made it past the six chair challenge but Riley believes in him and is giving him a chance to show what he's made of in our live shows; it's James Craise! (Another James )
Lady of The Sea (Hear Her Calling) by Seth Lakeman

Well, James, while this song suited you, I felt it didn't go anywhere, it sort of stayed at the same place, and, unfortunately, it was a little bit boring But it suited your voice, it wasn't bad, but not great, just good I'd say. I do hope people vote for you, however, because I know you can do some amazing things
Now it's back to Nic and the second of his girls. The next act did make the live shows in the real version and here, Nic could be our very own Simon Cowell! It's Sam Lavery!
Seven Nation Army by Becky Hill

Sam, I wanted to take you down a slightly different route than the real X Factor did, so I gave you this song to start. I love your tone, and I felt this reallu suited it, and I hope to see you through again, because I have many many things planned of you
Now it's over to Maris and the first of the groups of the evening! The next act withdrew from the live shows before it began, but here to show what they're made of in The A* Factor's live shows, it's Brooks Way!
Don't Wanna Know/My Way by Alex Aiono ft. Conor Maynard

Brooks, I liked it and the song suited you and all, but I found it very predictable and safe. Sorry
We're back with Danyal and the boys now. This act was a shock elimination at Judges Houses, but here to make a statement and show why Danyal has given him a chance; it's Niall Sexton!

Niall, that was really good! I did find it a little bit safe, but I did like how you sung something originally by a girl. Well done
