The wait is over...but let's rewind for a second. Over a month ago back in May, we began the Second Series of this show with the official launch and we were introduced to our new panel of judges as well as the Top 16 taking part. Over the several shows, we have seen the best, the worst and the downright crazy. We watched as they sung, danced and entertained us. We celebrated, laughed, cried and any other emotion you can think of, we felt it. However, one by one the acts left the competition and in the Semi-Final, it was no exception as after a long journey, we waved goodbye to Rachel Hylton who left in 4th place taking Pingu out of the competition with her. Tonight, it is the one we have been waiting for, the Grand Final and these Top 3 all want to win but only one act can do just that.

So I now introduce you our judges and the 3 finalists!

jackamakka who has no remaining 2010 acts

pingu58011 who has no remaining 2008 acts

fireemblemcraze & The last of the 2012 Class
Adam Burridge

yohinnchild & The 2011 Class
Melanie McCabe
Little Mix

So welcome everyone to where your start of the week begins right here! *Spins around* Okay, this is the one our finalists have worked hard towards as either Adam, Melanie or Little Mix will become the winner of Battle Of The Seasons Series 2, but before all that, we have a long night ahead of us, so I hope for once, we have a panel that is ready to stand up several times as I'm sure we'll see.

Judges, for one last time, please confirm your presence!

Looks like David isn't here, I hope he catches up soon.

Let's start our first round which is all about partying and opening the show, telling us to get ready for the night of your life, it's Little Mix!

Little Mix
*Standing Ovation*

Girls what a way to open the show. I am definitely in the mood for vocals, and especially with your amazing vocals. I am swinging my hips jumping up and down and that is all because of you. I am impartial now and I can honestly say that I want you to win this competition. You have been the most consistent through this competition, and I have said for a long time that I think you will win. I still think that and even more so after that performance. Your vocals were effortless. Little Mix to win!!!

Little Mix:

That was great girls. Nice and quirky. But you’ve been doing a lot of upbeat songs so in one way this theme was right in your comfort zone but then again we didn’t see anything new really – it was a bit generic. However, I personally loved it the arrangement and loved the style David presented it. Loved your individual bits especially Jesy and Jade. Thought it was great in that way.

What a way to start the final, ladies and gents...oh I almost forgot to say that I'll have several announcements after the final result.

Next up is our last 2012 act who got here in the studio as fast as he could, it's Adam Burridge!

Adam
*Standing Ovation*

Adam that was really good. I don`t really like you in competitions but in this game you have completely changed my opinion of you. Roxie isn`t like other mentors and hasn`t just gave you songs with a guitar. That song was quite upbeat and I felt like I was in a club. I could see David dancing over there very happily, and so was I. Brilliant performance and I cannot wait to see your duet!!!

Adam:

*claps*

Wow Adam that was AMAZE. You not only did something out of your comfort zone again but the song suited you so well. Everyone had this fear that you would become the sort of act to only do slow acoustic versions of songs and be so predictable but have I made sure they were wrong - you've been doing soft rock, punk rock, electropop, soul - every week you've been bringing something new! You were brilliant on that stage. And did everyone hear that vocal performance? It was amazing! We heard both highs and lows – not to mention a really catchy beat. I think the difficulty with this theme is to find something too generic. And I think we succeeded in being a little different. Vote for Adam folks – I want him to be in the final two! He deserves it! Vote please if you enjoyed it!

So Adam gave it his all there, but will his next song secure him a place for the final two later?

Our third finalist can hear voices (quiet down audience!), it's our only bottom two survivor, Melanie McCabe!

Melanie
*Standing Ovation*

Melanie that was really nice, and I love how it got more upbeat as the music went on. Everyone was pretty shocked when you got through to the final last week and Rachel was sadly eliminated but you have brought yourself back to your best just like David said you would, and I am very impressed. It wasn`t the most upbeat song but I could see it being played at a party. Well done Mel, and I can`t wait for your duet!!!

Melanie

That was a beautiful vocal performance Mel. Wow! And that song suited your voice so well! However, unlike Little Mix and Adam, I didn’t really feel like dancing with that. My main critique over the weeks has been for you to give it more – raise the energy level. And this was the perfect theme to do that. However, it was just sort of the same all the way through. You had one really amazing week where you had all these amazing build ups to the chorus. And this was a theme that could have really played to that. But I still enjoyed it for the vocal Mel. It was nice! Not to be a spoil sport but I still love your vocals! Can't wait to hear your duet!

So Melanie gets pretty assuring comments, but can she turn that around later?

With that, the party is over and now it's time to get down to business with the next round, where the mentors and the acts took the time to choose their celebrity partner for the duets round.

Back on stage and what are we waiting for, it's Little Mix and Gwen Stefani!

Little Mix and Gwen
*Standing Ovation*

Firstly I would just like to say thank you to Gen for coming to perform with you amazing girls. That was a great duet and your vocals blended amazingly. What am I waiting for? Your next performance because I really don`t think you will be leaving in 3rd place tonight. I love you in real life and on here. You are so talented and your vocals were great in that performance!!!

Little Mix and Ms Stefani

*claps*

Again this was something upbeat, but that’s no problem because it’s so quirky and crazy I loved it. The song really suited Perri well. I love the harmonies in the chorus – the tick tocks were amaze. Your vocals really suited this song well. And I was jumping around on my bed while listening to this. I love this song. If you get through which I think you will because you girls are so popular and through the weeks, you have by far been one of the most consistent and entertaining acts! But I would have loved to heard a ballad, something to bring out those vocals more and something a bit different to the first performance – but no worries we have two more songs left!

Adam and Theo
*Standing Ovation*

Theo thank you for coming in and letting us watch that amazing performance., I think that is the best performance of the night so far. It was a great song choice, and your voices blended so well together that I think you should join hurts Adam. That was a truly terrific duet and that is your best performance to date. Your vocals were great, and everything was just great. Well done Adam!!!

Adam and Hurts

*standing ovation*

That was breathtakingly beautiful. The exact reason why sometimes less is more. The haunting vocals mixed in with Hurts’s haunting vocals. And thank you so much Hurts for coming along to perform with Adam! I got goosebumps all throughout that. I loved how it was soft in the beginning and then exploded out into that chorus! Amazing! And then those harmonies – OH MY GOD! My baby has been one of the most versatile acts in this competition doing all sorts of performances throughout the competition – again that was so different to your first performance – really focusing on those vocals - and you so did show them off! Vote for Adam if you enjoyed it! I want him to go all the way!

Adam gets a huge amount of deserved praise and thank you Hurts for coming along to the ride.

Our last celeb duet is up next and it's another love for her, it's Melanie McCabe with Tom Odell!
Female Version = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhpawPnD8IM
Tom Version = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwphn2r9Ch0

The Backing is the same as on the Tom Version Video
Melanie = First Verse/ Chorus - up to 1.30
Introduces Tom, who takes over and sings 2nd Verse
Sing together in 2nd Chorus up 2.40
Melanie then adlibs over Tom bashing out on his Keys
They then take it in turns line by line singing the rest of the song

Melanie and Tom

*standing ovation*

Beautiful! I just have to get up for that. Wow – Melanie. Those vocals. It made me feel so emotional. And hello Mr Odell! Thank you so much for coming along! What a great way to end the first half of the show. The only thing I would say is that both of your performances have been sort of the same and I would have liked to have heard some variety as ballads have sort of been your thing but that’s alright because your vocals took it to another level. But I really did like this second one Melanie – it was so passionate, so thought out. I really felt like you meant those lyrics. I do feel Little Mix and Adam have edged slightly more for me tonight and throughout the competition but what a way to end the show. *claps*

Melanie and Tom
*Standing Ovation*

Thank you so much for coming in Tom. That was so beautiful and your voices were so great together and I think you should do more duets together in the future. really it was a great duet and Mel your voice was just amazing. The talent has been so high tonight and I really don`t know who will finish 3rd. I could feel chemistry in that performance that made it even better. God luck Mel, but if you leave in 3rd, your career isn`t ending!!!

We conclude with more standing ovations, this time for Melanie and thank you Tom for taking part. But we'll find out if the public agrees.

So that's it for now, folks. The three finalists have sung twice and now the lines are OPEN!

Here is a reminder of tonight's performances so far:

Spoiler


So, to vote, inbox me your rankings of 3-1 as you always have done. The judges can vote as well and they CAN vote for their own acts. The lines will FREEZE at 8:00pm where we will find out which act will be eliminated in third place, so don't let that happen to your favorite. In the meantime, feel free to talk about tonight's Final so far.
