Josh
Falling a thousand feet per second, you still take me by surprise.
I just know we can't be over, I can see it in your eyes.
Making every kind of silence, takes a lot to realize
Its worse to finish then to start all over and never let it lie.

JJ
And as long as I can feel you holding on.
I won't fall, even if you said I was wrong.

All
I'm not perfect but I keep trying cause
that's what I said I would do from the start.
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave.
Was it something I said or just my personality?

Jaymi
Making every kind of silence,
It takes a lot to realize
Its worse to finish then to start all over
and never let it lie.

George
And as long as I can feel you holding on.
I won't fall, even if you said I was wrong.

All
I know that I'm not perfect but I keep trying cause
that's what I said I would do from the start.
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave.
Was it something I said or just my personality?

Jaymi
When you're caught in a lie,
JJ
and you've got nothing to hide,
Josh
When you've got nowhere to run,
George
and you've got nothing inside.

All
It tears right through me,
you thought that you knew me,
you thought that you knew..

Jaymi
I'm not perfect but I keep trying cause
that's what I said I would do from the start.
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave.
Was it something I said or just my personality?

All
I'm not perfect but I keep trying cause
that's what I said I would do from the start.
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave.
Was it something I said or just my, just myself?
Just myself? Myself? Just myself?

JJ
I'm not perfect, but I keep trying.

If you don't mind Jack, i will have to leave now. I was just waiting to see if Diamond had gone through but am going out now. Do you want my comments?

I don't think I'll be able to post them so it doesn't matter. Please send me the name of the act you want to win though!

*Standing Ovation*

Boys, I am absolutely thrilled that you've got to the Final two after what we've seen tonight...it's a tough competition but you have remained strong throughout. This song is called perfect and you were singing about how you're not perfect...nobody is perfect, but we can try to be and you boys were indeed perfect for this song as it told all of us how far you've come, but our final performance later will tell everyone your story and progress, I cannot wait boys, I'm so proud!

Union J

Congratualations guys on making it to the final 2. The first two song showed you deliver some excellent performances with good stage presence. This was all about the vocals though and boy did you knock it out of the sky. Another excellent performance from you; Jaymi and Josh you vocally nail it everytime. I'm glad you guys made the final 2 and whatever happens next you've done excellently well in this competitiona nd you and Steve should be proud.

Union J, I can see your mentor has been sooo passionate and productive with you guys especially, and I feel so proud of you for getting to the final two. Congradulations. That was soo good.. the emotion was strong and so were the vocals and Good luck boys

Whether it's you or Union J that now go on to win, you've both been amazing acts in the competition and you can both finish feeling proud. Well Done!

*Standing Ovation*

Melanie, congratulations on making the final two because you deserve it. You have throughout this competition remained to be a top consistent singer and performer and yet again, you absolutely delivered on point! This was a very clever song as it well suited your style but it was different and excellent, a terrific and top-notch performance.

Jaymi
The question was raised
As my conscience fell
A silly, little lie
It didn’t mean much
But it lingers still
In the corners of my mind

JJ
Still you call me to walk
On the edge of this world
To spread my dreams and fly
But the future’s so far
My heart is so frail
I think I’d rather stay inside

All
But You love me anyway
It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known
Yes you love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me
How You love me

Josh
It took more than my strength
To simply be still
To seek but never find

George
All the reasons we change
The reasons I doubt
And why do loved ones have to die?

All
But You love me anyway
It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known
Yes you love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me

Jaymi
I am the thorn in Your crown
But You love me anyway

JJ
I am the sweat from Your brow
But You love me anyway

Josh
I am the nail in Your wrist
But You love me anyway

George
I am Judas’ kiss
But You love me anyway

All
See now, I am the man that called out from the crowd
For Your blood to be spilled on this earth shaking ground
Yes then, I turned away with this smile on my face
With this sin in my heart tried to bury Your grace

Jaymi
And then alone in the night, I still called out for You
So ashamed of my life, my life, my life

All
But You love me anyway
It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known
Yes you love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me
You love me yes you love me
How You love me
How You love me

Jaymi
How You love me

I think it's fair to say you were truly robbed on the main show and here David has really presented you in an excellent way up on that stage this week and as they say: It's out of our hands but I think you'd be a deserving winner after that performance, equally so will be Union J. so Good luck

Thanks Kuda

Boys...when I got the groups category, I had four terrific ideas on who should join my category. You were the first to join my Top 4 because you were a risk I was willing to take. When I look back now, you were the best choice I have ever made. Because since then you have grown and grown into top contenders and outstanding singers in this competition. We've had several bumps along the way, but you have remained a strong force and this is where you are now. Each one of you is special and you all bring something different to the group. George, you remind me of myself years ago aiming to work hard in music, Josh, you're one of the most ambitious people I've met, JJ, you're inspiration has kept me and you boys going and Jaymi, you were just born a star...it's out of my hands now, but let's hope the public are voting...so people...VOTE FOR UNION J TO WIN!!!

Union J

The Power of that performance and the vocals were amazing; you've been truely great throughout this show and Steve has really done a good job throughout the competition. He has made some excellent song choices and 100% gets you as a band and you would be worthy winners of this competition. You've got the emotion of the song, the harmonies were great and I wouldn't be surprised to see you walk away with the winners title. Well Done tonight + Good luck in the final vote.

*Standing Ovation*

That was a vocally moving performance, that just wanted me to grab some chocolate and lie in my bed in tears of not being all loved up over valentines. But enough of my sad life, that was an amazing performance, clever song choice to put forward as your best efforts to win and id definitely buy that single boys, cause you sounded so great on that record. Good luck tonight!

Standing Ovation

Melaine my girl, one cannot underestimate how much versatility you have shown, nevermind just tonight, but from day one, and I think that has probably been your biggest strength to even win tonight. We heard a different soulful element to your voice in that performance. It could surely be a big hit once again... released by you. Ive been in awe watching you grow in the competition and I wish you good luck tonight
