Alright good afternoon folks and welcome to where your first entertainment of 2013 starts right here! Okay, it may be a new year, but this competition is still going strong because today it's Best of British and our 8 surviving acts will all be doing their best to make Britain proud, but first we have four girls who know all about British pride...well most of them, it's your judges known as LITTLE MIX!

Voice: Jade Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson!

Looking fabulous and full of Brutishness girls. Alright let's kick off with the girls, so we go to their mentor who is on cloud 9 right now, it's Jesy!

Jesy: Okay the first of my "three" acts, yes! I give you the amazing Ella Henderson!

Leigh-Anne: Ella, well done to opening the show. That was a beautiful performance once more, I really enjoy you so much.

Jade: I see the high notes are back, that is why we fell in love with you in the first place. A beautiful start to the show.

Perrie: A very good song choice for you, Ella it was simple and emotional again, I think you are a contender for the final now, amazing.

Jesy: Ella, this is why you are here right now as you are one of the strongest singers in the competition. I believe in you, and people need to vote for her, so please do, public.

Good stuff, now for the overs so we go to their mentor who doesn't want to lose another act, it's Perrie.

Perrie: Next up and ready to make us go ga-ga, it's Jamie Archer!

I reckon that song will be a hit. its got the guitar riffs that American loves

Leigh-Anne: Jamie, you are fast becoming one of the biggest improvers in the competition and that was great.

Jesy: It was a great song choice and everyone was on their feet. I think you are a contender now and I can't wait to see what you do next time.

Jade: That was amazing stage presence and you always get the crowd going, no matter what you do, you are a star.

Perrie: Jamie, all I can say is wow...nice to see you've taken a page out of our book in how to get the crowd going, you are a Rockstar and this is what you do!


My ears are ringing, okay now we go to the last remaining group, so over to you, Jade.

Jade: Now we have something different for you, it's One Direction!

Leigh-Anne: Boys, that was amazingly beautiful and for the first time, you were singing on point, well done.

Jesy: Guys, that was much better than yesterday, you were on point and you look like contenders for the final, very impressed.

Perrie: Well boys, you know I'm always a big fan of your performances, but this was different and it was beautiful...so how do I look?

Jade: We all look amazing tonight, Perrie, don't you worry, baba. Boys, everywhere I go, there is huge support for you and it's no surprise, you worked so hard with the harmonies for today and you were on top form.

Big praise indeed. Now for the boys so we go to their mentor who's loving the dress, it's Leigh-Anne!

Leigh-Anne: He's my shy but awesome boy, it's Jahmene Douglas

(Stop at 2:32)

Jesy: Jahmene, this was officially my favorite performance of the Series, no question about it, boy!

Jade: You have so much soul and that song absolutely worked for you perfectly.

Perrie: Forget for the next show, you deserve to be in the final mate! That was totally brilliant!

Leigh-Anne: This is why you are on my category and yes we've heard it so many times, but this wiped the floor over the rest of them. You NEED to be here!

I still got goosebumps, alright back to the girls and Jesy.

Jesy: She's taking a gamble today, it's Lucie Jones!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr3fsGY10G0

Leigh-Anne: Lucie, I am really surprised...I thought this wouldn't work but it did. That was so damm good!

Jade: We are getting a night full of surprises and this was another one. It really isn't you but it was simple and classy.

Perrie: Well, who knew that you could do jazz on stage, girl? That was once again superb, but is it the real you?

Jesy: Lucie, no matter what song I give you, you make it better than my expectations, you always deliver and I want you back here tomorrow.

Hmm, well it's back to the Overs once more and Perrie.

Perrie: Ready to feel the love, it's Mary Byrne!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l67WeHURldI

Leigh-Anne: Mary, I definitely felt the love in that performance, well done once again.

Jade: That big note at the end totally knocked me down, it was a bit karaoke I thought, but still a great job.

Jesy: I think I have to agree here, it may not be exactly a modern hit song, but there was a lot of love shown on that stage, well done.

Perrie: Mary, we've been saving that song for a while and today, we got to use it and look at you. You're just fantastic and amazing right there and you need to be here tomorrow.

Great comments, over to the boys once more and Leigh-Anne.

Leigh-Anne: He's your man for today, it's Marcus Collins!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruZYQbc89Mw

Jesy: Talk about taking an old 80's song and making it current, that was amazing and enjoyable, Marcus, well done.

Jade: Oh Marcus, is it me or are things getting a bet hot in here after that performance? I'm joking, okay, haha. Brilliant today, well done.

Perrie: I don't feel hot, I still feel a lot of love...anyways, Marcus, you always seem to be on point with each song you get and that was another great performance.

Leigh-Anne: Marcus, if I was still single, you could be my man anytime. But joking aside, every week you just grow with confidence and I always look forward to what we work on, I pray you're safe tonight.

I don't feel hot either, alright time for the final performance now from the girls and Jesy.

Jesy: Alright folks, she's taking a gamble with her own song, it's Laura White!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inrngjxBq-k

Leigh-Anne: Laura, what a risk to take, but what a way to pay off...a brilliant song choice from you.

Jade: What a way to close the show on what has been a strong night. I love the song as well, you should release it, girl!

Perrie: That was an upbeat and a positive song choice and the fact that it's yours makes it sweeter like, awesome, Laura!

Jesy: Laura, I know you were surprised to be in the bottom two yesterday, but after that performance, you are not going anywhere...I really want the public to vote for you, so everyone vote for Laura!


Alright folks, that is your lot. All 8 acts have now sung and it's time for you to have your say as the lines are now open for you to vote for your favorite. Join us at 5pm later for the results and remember it's a double elimination, so two acts will be leaving the competition for good. Until then take care and we'll see you later.

Alright ladies and gentleman, welcome to the results, earlier today the 8 acts took on Best of British, but now it's soon to be over for two acts so let's welcome back the judges and the contestants!


The public have voted and only 5 acts are definitely safe leaving us with our bottom three.
So in no particular order, the first act returning to tomorrow's show is...

So this means that Jamie, Lucie and Marcus are in the bottom three...I can now reveal that the act who received the fewest votes and leaving right now is...


So unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to Lucie and Jesy loses her second act.

So now Jamie and Marcus will need to give all they've got to stay in.

So first, we go to the Overs and Perrie.

Perrie: Ready to sing his heart out, it's Jamie Archer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV_g0InQA0E

And now for the boys and Leigh-Anne.

Leigh-Anne: This is why he wants to stay, it's Marcus Collins.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwn_3ubO6IM

Alright one more time for both of them folks. Okay Jamie and Marcus have sung all they can but only one of them can stay and that is in the hands of Little Mix.

So Leigh-Anne, coming to you first, please name the act your're sending home.

Leigh-Anne: Well as always, I back my act to the end, so I have to send home...Jamie.

Perrie: Well likewise, I also back my act as always but that was a great sing-off. So I have to send home...Marcus.

Jade: What a terrific sing-off that was, Jamie that was you and this is what you do. Marcus, that was simply beautiful...it's a tough one but the act I'm sending home...is Jamie.

Jesy: This is so difficult and every show it gets harder, because we love these people so much. Marcus, that was a new direction you took and it was simply amazing. Jamie we know that with songs like that you are a star. So I'm gonna take it to deadlock by sending home Marcus.

So ladies and gentleman, we are going to deadlock!


The judges were unable to make a majority decision and so we go back to the public vote from earlier. The act who received the lowest votes and leaving the competition in 7th place is...

So we have to say goodbye to Jamie and sadly for Perrie, she is now down to her final act. But well done to Marcus who survives to the next show.

Alright, we are now down to the Top 6 and tomorrow, they'll be taking on guilty pleasures, so expect some more cheese with burgers as Nicole would say. Until then take care and bye bye.
