Well, since the semi-final performance was too recent, there was still no doubt on what was our favourite performance and it was this amazing gem that everyone loved way back on Show 2. The song and the performance was when people started to take notice of you, so this performance was a reminder of how far you've come since then, you could've not made that more perfect if you've tried. You would most definitely have a hit record with that song. I have loved working with you and what we have still to come will be magical.

By the way, I apologize for any minor negatives I point out in my comments. They don't really serve any purpose considering there are no more songs to pick, but it's just unnatural for me to turn a blind eye to these things.

*Standing Ovation*

YESSS STEPH Ahhh, that just an incredible performance. I completely agree that this was your best performance throughout the series, and somehow, what with it being the final and all, I managed to love it even more. I remember really praising you for this performance, which is why I’m so genuinely glad that you’ve had the opportunity to revisit it. Aside from the fantastic edge this track gives you, what I love about it most is that this is an insanely believable performance. I mean, I can totally see you releasing something like this as a lead single. That's why it's so great. From that same perspective, this performance also shows that Steve really understands you as an artist, which highlights how well he has been mentoring you. Purely based on how bloody fantastic this was, I can see you winning. I wen't there

Another fantastic peroformance and set of comments for Stephanie. Could she be the surprise winner of the tonight? Next up, we head back to Rick and the Groups. Now these young ladies have shown versatility over the entire competition and shown a different side to themselves each week. Here with their favourite performance from Week 8 ‘Indian Summer’, it’s Rumour Has It

Rumour Has It
*standing ovation*

You may only have performed this a couple of weeks ago, but for me this performance marked a turning point in your journey. Not only was it one of your best performances ever, it was also the moment where everyone realized you could actually make it to the final. Up until that point you had been well-liked, but never thought of as real contenders. Thus, it only seemed right to have you perform it again tonight, to remind the public once again that with their help, you could actually win this. Congratulations on another stunning performance, girls!

Well for me, you've had a lot of amazing performances so anyone you could've picked would've made me smile, but I remember this one very well as I believe that this was the performance where everyone started to believe that you could win this competition and listening to that song again made me feel like a proud fan of you as I have loved you from day one. That was a perfect performance to go for and we've said it's wide open, but you could really win this competition now, I love you girls!

Rumour Has It
*Standing Ovation*

Rick, this was literally the best choice you could have possibly made tonight. As you know, I’ve always questioned your indie stance to mentoring these girls. However, I remember that with this performance, I began to really embrace it all. I loved it then, and I loved it even more now. It’s beautiful to revisit this track, because essentially, I feel that this was the moment where you became the group that are now so close to winning the entire series. You’ve continuously grown throughout this process, and along the way, you’ve managed to win me round. Well done girls, and I wish you all the best tonight <3

A great performance there from Rumour Has It. Are they the Rachel Potter of this series? Back over to Eddy and the Over 25’s now. This lady has shown her true artistry throughout the competition and her favourite performance really went down well with the judges. From last week’s semi final with ‘Living It Up’, it’s Fleur East

Fleur East
*standing ovation*

A very interesting choice from your mentor here, Fleur. Personally, I wouldn't have picked this particular song for you to sing again, but after listening to it again I can definitely see why your mentor did. It was a definite step up from your previous performance, which leads me to believe my own theory that your mentor is following a specific battle plan for tonight's final and is executing it well. This suited you better vocally and was also more energetic than your first performance, thus suiting you better as an artist in my opinion. Well done Fleur, I literally can't wait wait to see your next performance!

Fleur East
*Standing Ovation*

Fleur, you’ve done it again. You totally just brought the energy levels through the roof once more, which is what you do best. With that performance, you’ve just showed everyone exactly why you deserve to be here. I chose this track for you Fleur because I feel that it perfectly epitomises your insane versatility. Not only can you bring the urban edge, but you can also take on the hard-hitting pop hits. I’m sorry to use such a cliché, but for me, you have that X Factor. You really do. I’ve played three games on this forum, and honestly, you’ve been my favourite act to ever mentor. I just hope we’ve done enough to make it into the final two. You deserve that final chance of winning, you really do.

Fleur, it may have been recent, but I believe your mentor made a brilliant choice to visit this one again. The beat and the rhythm got me moving around before and I got that feeling of enjoyment again, even more so this time around. The song and the performance combined showed how far you've come and for me, you've been the best act that Eddy has mentored in this game. I cannot wait for your next performance, Fleur!

A fantastic performance from Fleur there. Could she be the champion? OK, closing out this round is the second of our two remaining groups. Now these guys have been consistent throughout the entire competition and shown a true path of where they see themselves as artists. With their favourite performance from Week 8 ‘Be Okay’, it’s Only The Young

WOOHOO! That was the best song your mentor went for, personally this was my favourite song from you four so I'm over the moon to hear this song again. The style and the performance, it just screams perfection and that's what you four are right now. I want you to go into and record that song, because you would have a massive hit with that song! Loved this through and through, so bring on your next performance.

Only The Young
*standing ovation*

YES! It's official, you four just knocked it out of the ballpark! Of course this particular performance got rave reviews the first time, but seeing you perform it again here was even more impressive. Out of everything you've done, this is arguably the closest you've gotten to your roots, which I think is part of the reason people loved it so much. As always, the vocals were insane and your harmonies on point. However, the main selling point of this performance is the uncompromised fun factor you bring to it. To sum it all up in one word: flawless.

Only The Young
*Standing Ovation*

Yes yes yes Seriously, Rick totally got it right in this round. Similarly to RHI, the reason why I just ADORE this performance is because it really shows that Rick understands, quite perfectly, the musical direction of you guys. This was, and in fact is, the best we’ve seen from you. You’re so fun, energetic and edgy… All at once, which is impressive. Yeah, well done guys. You totally deserve to be here, and I hope you make it to the final two (though I have no doubt that you'll be there.)

Another fantastic performance this evening. This is going to be such a hard final to call. OK, now we head on to the third and final songs of tonight’s first round as we head straight onto the celebrity duet round. First up, we head to the Girls. Taking on ‘Not On Drugs’ with special guest Tove Lo, it’s Stephanie Nala

If any voters read this, do NOT believe this. With a final as ridiculously strong as this, literally NO-ONE is safe.

Stephanie Nala
*standing ovation*

I could make another comment about the point I've illustrated in my comments regarding your earlier performances, but you know what - to hell with it. This was a great performance from you and Tove actually. The track was a clever choice - it had certain elements of your style as shown in your previous performance, but was different enough to be a genuinely exciting duet. Personally, I think the celebrity duets aren't just about singing with a celeb but also showing yourself in a slightly different light, which you absolutely did tonight. Congratulations on another great performances and good luck in the vote!

First of all, I wanna thank Tove Lo for taking the time to come and duet with my girl. Speaking of which, what an amazing performance we worked on. The song was incredibly suited to your voice and you were on top form as always, but then Tove Lo joined you on stage, I was feeling incredibly proud of you. The performance was outstanding and you worked as a strong and powerful duo. I really wanna see you make the final two as we have a killer of a winners single that everyone is going to love!

*Standing Ovation*

Whatttt?! Steph, um, well I really didn’t think it’d be possible to top your previous performance, but somehow, you literally did exactly just that. Seriously, that was beyond amazing… I don’t think you even know how good that was. I think Tove Lo was a fantastic pick for you, your voices compliment each other fantastically well. A huge well done. Good luck in the vote!

A fantastic performance from Stephanie and Tove Lo. Thank you ever so much to Tove for perfroming with our girl. Our second celebrity duet of the night comes from the first of our groups. Singing for your votes with a rendition of the New Zealand #1 smash hit ‘Holding You’ with special guest Stan Walker, it’s Rumour Has It

Woah! Where did that come from?! I mean, as if you five were slaying it with the performance, along comes Stan Walker to join you on stage and my goodness, I was completely blown away by it all, what an amazing duo this was. I almost have no more words to say, but most definitely another step-up from earlier. I said earlier that it's wide open, but you deserve to be in the final two, girls.

Rumour Has It
*Standing Ovation*

Wow… That was a real moment just then. When I think of the big Celebrity Duets, that’s exactly what I want; a moment, a seriously big moment. I mean, theoretically, this is the round where we should really see that actually, despite only being talent show contestants, the finalists are genuinely on a par with the very best of the industry. From that perspective, these duets serve to highlight the immense progress made by each finalist. Girls for me, your performance just there followed those rules perfectly. That was just amazing, so amazing. I’m gonna go do something I very rarely do, and actually replay that performance That to ally sums it up. A huge huge well done.

Rumour Has It
*standing ovation*

Now THAT is what I call a duet, girls. Out of all the duets being sung tonight, I think this was probably the most classic of them in terms of it being a power ballad originally sung by a male and a female vocalist. It suited you to a tee through, combining your powerful vocals and indie direction with Stan Walker's smooth yet very powerful emotive vocals almost effortlessly. On an emotional level, this was probably the strongest performance you've ever given. For that, I applaud you. I'd absolutely love to see you in the final two girls, I hope the public choose to back you up tonight!

A fantastic duet this evening from Rumour Has It and Stan Walker. Thank you ever so much Stan. Our third celebrity duet of the night comes from the last of Eddy’s over 25’s. Hoping this will secure her a place in the final two with ‘Dumb’ with special guest Meek Mill, it’s Fleur East
