    Fleur, that was without a doubt the smoothest performance you've ever done! You were amazing with the song choice, but when Meek joined you for his rapping section, I was no longer watching an X Factor performance, I was watching a guest performance who came here to promote a new single. If an act like you can do that, then you will have a long-term success. I wish you so much luck in the vote later tonight. :cool:

    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:o

    Those faces literally sum that performance up for me. Fleur seriously, that was beyond incredible. You were completely slaying it up there, and along with Meek’s rapping, the pair of you delivered a winning performance. I’m biased, but that’s gotta be one of the biggest moments of the entire series. Like Steve touched on, that wasn't an X Factor contestant performance, that was the opening of the Grammys ;) I can’t stress this enough, guys – If you want Fleur in the final two, you’ve gotta rank her highly <3

    Another fantastic duet this evening. Boy, how are you going to decide? Our last celebrity duet of the night and final song of the round before the voting opens, comes from the second of our groups. Hoping that this song will gain them a place in the final two and your votes, which is ‘Gimme Some’ with special guest Powers, it’s Only The Young

    Note: POWERS will sing the male verses, OTY will do the choruses except the last one which everyone will sing together

    Wow...simply wow! Guys and girls, you were spot on and brilliant once more with the song choice, but the arrangement was what really fascinated me. When the band POWERS started the performance, I knew I was going to be in for a special treat. This was just so incredible and such a strong performance to end the Duets round with. I really wish you the very best of luck with the vote. :cool:

    Oh guys, that was just the perfect duet for you. Beyond perfect in fact. It was just so well-suited, so fun, so energetic, and so different. Again, similarly to your prior performances, Rick’s choice of track really shows that he understands you as a group, and thus serves to highlight just what a great mentor he is. As I’ve said, you so deserve to be here, and I’m sure you’ll do well tonight.

    Guys and gals, you are absolutely bringing it tonight! I've wanted to use this song for you for a while, so to give the opportunity to sing it together with the amazing duo that is POWERS was absolutely amazing. This was fun, very powerful and definitely a moment to remember. By singing the choruses, you avoided becoming backing singers in this performance, while we still got to enjoy the wonderful edgy male vocals POWERS bring to the table. Once again you've shown just how ridiculously versatile you are. I really hope the public see that and vote for you tonight!

    Woooow! What an absolutely fantastic night it has been! And that is all the acts can do! All four have sang there hearts out this evening and have done all they can to secure your votes. It is now entirely down to you. To vote for your favourite acts, all you have to do is rank them from 4 (Fave) to 1 (Least Fave). The two acts with the most votes after the first vote freeze will perform there winner's singles in a chance to become the champion. However, the two acts with the fewest votes will be eliminated in third and fourth place. Your vote is really important so make sure it counts. The lines will freeze at 8.30pm when we will discover which two acts are still in the running. We'll also be joined by the previous series contestants in a special performance, put together by one of our judges. So, get voting! All the votes from the first freeze will be carried over so you will get to vote again.

    Here is a recap of tonight's performance for guidance.

    I've been in the final of every game I've mentored on, but I must admit that I have never felt more nervous for a result than now. All twelve performances so far have been stunning to the point where I just can't call it, I really can't.

    Wow! Well done everyone on the first part of the Final, this has been the very best one I've been apart of! :D

    The viewers are in for a tough decision to make since two will be gone. :(

    I really do think this will be one of the closest finals. I really can't call it.

    Thank you Pingu, I really hope the public don't get complacent because of all these sneaky messages from Eddy saying they'll 100% make through... :(

    40 minutes left to vote. We haven't had that many votes so far so I'd really appreciate a few more. :)

    Just to echo what Penguin said, OTY basically smashed it tonight, they basically (imo anyway) dominated the night, nice mentoring EoS :D

    Also Really like Fleur's first performance, Steph's second performance and Rumour Has It's third performance :D

    I can see right through your tactics. :p

    Just kidding of course, I know you meant it as a compliment. Thing is, I have seen too many exits (Jeason and Mariana from The Mix Factor 6 come to mind) that were partly the result of people thinking these acts were safe because they'd been consistently good.
