*standing ovation*

Yep it’s safe to say that this was definitely your best performance and is the one we all know and adore, as your mentor probably knows from how much we’ve gone on about it. The lead singers vocals were a fantastic match for yours and in addition to that the whole performance just felt like something we’d expect to see from you Ethan and that’s what I love about this performance! A great performance Ethan and I cannot wait to see your winner’s single and best of luck with it as well.

*standing ovation*

Waits for Justin to say how he disliked this performance... Anyway girls this has always been my personal favourite performance from you as it’s basically you what you are with powerful vocals, great harmonies and that slight edge you have. This was one of those performances that just made me think yes we have a shot at getting you far in this competition and I honestly think that it’s the best performance you made throughout the series girls. I honestly cannot wait to see your amazing winner’s single and again do an absolutely fabulous performance!

Ethan mate, congrats on making the final two and this has to be the first time that song from show 1 was chosen as favorite song from the Series. But for what it's worth, that was a brilliant choice and it made me become a fan of him ever since. A truly amazing song to choose for the Final, I advise everyone to go to iTunes and download this brilliant cover!

Black Ivory

*Standing Ovation*

WOW! Girls, well done for making the Final two, because you really deserve it. What an explosive performance from you five. This was also my favorite song from the Series, so top marks to your mentor for letting you sing this one again. You would definitely have a hit record with that song and I think you're final upcoming performance will be something special.

As if we didn't have enough amazing performances tonight already. That's your top two right there folks, just incredible!

Anyway, it's time for the final two performances of the series. Justin, please introduce us to your finalist, the song he'll sing and tell us why he deserves to win this competition.

Of course, I'd be honored to!

Looking at the final two, Ethan really stands out to me based on several things. First, he's an amazing singer and talent who has shown versatility, accessibility, and star quality this entire season. He's truly a world class performer and singer, and I have loved mentoring him to stardom this season. Jack had his turn at a win last season, too, so it'd be nice to see a less familiar face at the top

In all honesty, and jokes aside, I couldn't be more proud of both of these acts, and it will be a tough decision for anyone to make. But in my eyes, Ethan's repertoire has been both consistent and amazing, and I'd love to see him nab that winner's spot. He's truly been on fire tonight, delivering three of his best performances this season, and here's to hoping that this is a 4th!

I think this could be my favorite of yours, Ethan. It was so emotional and heart wrenching and powerful... the song suited you to a tee, and I think that based on everything tonight, you 100% deserve to win this competition. I hope your fans come out in spades and vote, and while I won't get on the table or shout at the Geordies and the people in Essex to vote, I think you deserve the world. This is a beautiful start for you, and I can't wait to see you blossom here!

Wow Ethan, you have been unstoppable ever since your bottom two appearance. This was definitely the perfect choice for you to sing as a winners song. It showed everything that you've gone through in this competition and by the end of it all, I couldn't stop applauding you. You have come a very long way with a few bumps along the road, but your mentor has been brilliant with you and win or lose, you're going to have a career out of this. Amazing job, Ethan.

*standing ovation*

Ahhh nothing like a bit of Kodaline is there? This is a great song for you Ethan and is so emotive that you can’t help but feel something from this performance whether it be sadness, joy, pain and everything else. Ethan you’ve been great in this competition and even though you had that one slip up where you were in the bottom two you’ve always managed to give a great performance and to put it simply bravo not only on this performance but on the competition as a whole Ethan! Best of luck in the voting as well!

Amazing comments for Ethan, fittingly closing his equally amazing journey through this competition. If you think that Ethan should win it, don't forget to vote for him once the lines unfreeze!

Jack, it's your turn to introduce your finalists, their song and why they should be crowned the winners tonight.

Well when they first entered the competition they got quite a few judges concerned as they thought better should've gone through. Now I can stand here and say that these girls were more than ready for this competition having managed to get this far and beat a lot of negatives against them they're still here today.

They've been a public favourite and have shown us all what a hell of a lot of hard work and practice can do to get you far in a competition like this, as well as giving some truly sensational performances!

They've been my girls throughout the competition, here is Black Ivory performing their Winners single Didn't Mean It!

Spoiler

Stephanie: Do you see me and still feel love
or have I changed inside your heart
To have only you, is such a fuss
To give all of me is not enough.
You left then, you came back
Sorry don't make it up to me
Sorry won't make me believe

Vanessa: He's down on bending knees
You're down on bending knees

All: Saying, you didn’t mean it
you didn’t mean it
if you didn’t mean it
Then why would you say it
he didn’t mean it
you never mean it.
Then why in the world would you say it
There's no tomorrow, don’t you know
Love me now or let me go
He didn’t mean it
you never mean it.
Then why in the world would you say it
Say it, say it

Veronica: I miss the way we used to be
Now you're the one that i can't keep
Thought I was first, and never last
Thought it was you, I would always have
You left then, you came back
Sorry don't make it up to me
Sorry don't make me believe

All: You didn’t mean it
You didn’t mean it
if you didn’t mean it
Then why would you say it
He didn’t mean it
You never mean it
Then why in the world would you say it
There's no tomorrow, don't you know
Love me now or let me go
He didn’t mean it
You never mean it.
Then why in the world would you say it

Vanessa: It's time to let you go,
It's time to say goodbye
Boy, you need to know,
I'm done with you messing with my mind

Stephanie: You didn’t mean it
You never mean it.
Oh!

Veronica: You didn’t mean it
You never mean it.
Then why in the world would you say it.

All: You didn’t mean it
You didn’t mean it
If you didn’t mean it
Then why would you say it
He didn't mean it
You never mean it it
Then why in the world would you say it... (hold)
There's no tomorrow, don't you know
Love me now or let me go
He didn't mean it
You never mean it
Then why in the world would you say it...
Say it..., say it...
Then why in the world would you say it...
Say it..., say it...
Then why in the world would you say it...

*standing ovation*

Well girls all I can say is that I am insanely proud to see you right now in the top two! You’ve been the serious underdogs of the competition and who doesn’t love a good underdog? You’ve come up the ranks from your first performance which people thought was a bit meh and now have managed to get here and give one absolutely stunning performance! It was poppy, had urban edge and of course great harmonies. All I can really say is that you’ve given the performance of a lifetime tonight and I am so happy you managed to get here and basically do what you’ve done throughout the whole competition! I am so proud and I hope you girls win tonight!

This was a very emotionally charged performance, and I believed every word of it. I think this is a perfect song for you girls, and I can't say much more. I wish you the best of luck here, and like we said for Ethan, this is just the start of things for you. I think you're great, and I've always believed in you, but now, more than ever, I think you could do amazingly.

Girls, that was just out of this world, it really was. The song with your voices told a very personal story and yes, it is a shame that there is misery and lies that happen often, but we will make a difference someday. On this performance, you really couldn't have made it more perfect than that. Your mentor has been absolutely unstoppable with you and I tip my hat off to Jackel for being an incredible mentor with you and the other groups. Whoever wins or loses, you're gonna go on to have an extraordinary career after this and Ronan Keating is gonna be kicking himself, lol. Perfect way to end the show, girls, you also deserve to win.

Two epic performances, but ultimately only one of the acts that performed them can be crowned the winner.

Denizens of the DS forum, that tough decision lies with you once again. Even if you've voted in part 1 already, you can vote once again!

To vote, just PM me the name of the act you want to win.

If you're still hesitating, here's a recap of the performances so far:

Spoiler

The lines will only remain open for a short 30 minutes (They will close at 21:55), so make sure you get your vote in by then! Votes from part one are still carried over, hence me including the previous songs in the recap. What are you waiting for, start voting again folks!

As always, feel free to discuss any aspects of the show with me and the judges right here on this thread!

I've made my choice...it was really, really hard to make!

But still, this has been an incredible Series.

I completely agree with this, definitely one of my favourites so far to have hosted.

Soppyfan

12-07-2013

But we know it was a lot better because I wasn't involved.

Joking aside, if there was a chance for a Third Series, I would consider coming back.

If this happens then I'm afraid I'll have to deliver this message to one or more of the current judges.

Oh and speaking of current judges, I think I have my final confirmation about the panel for the return of The Voice Factor.
