Last week on Luck Of The Draw, the five remaining acts sung twice for the first time with Best of British and American Anthems and it was quite the show last week with it being a level of high-standard that week. However in the end, with no more sing-off battles, one act had to immediately leave and that was Amelia Lily who was eliminated, leaving Riley with no acts left.

Tonight, for Jack and Callum who are going head to head, it's the Semi-Final and the fantastic four are taking on songs that have a touch of Floor Fillers, then they must go for broke if they want a place in next week's grand final.

Let's now welcome the judges and your semi-finalists!

RileyHollyoaks who has no remaining Girls

doctorwhofancal & The Overs
Carolynne Poole
Ben Mills

Jack_Jones9 & The Groups
Only The Young
Belle Amie

Judges, confirm your presence so we can get started!

Looks like it's just you and me as Riley and Jack are not here, but I have their comments ready.

Kicking off the show is the overs and this guy is ready to go, it's Ben Mills!

Wow Ben, I can honestly say that was outstanding, your voice was so pure throughout that. After that performance, you NEED to make the final

We begin with huge praise for Ben, can he make it a double in the next round?

Next is the groups and they say that getting this far has been worth it, it's Only The Young!

Your mentor has been brave picking this song and risks might not be the best idea for a semi final however that risk paid off big style. Incredible.

A risk-taker for the mixed group, but it pays off dividends, can they do it a second time?

Back to the overs and she's been working as a bartender, it's Carolynne Poole!

Riley's comment

While all performances have been amazing so far, including this one, I think that you have not really passed the very high standards set by the others.

Jack's comment

Carolynne once again you entertained me!! Didn't know the song but I felt the vocals were good tonight. Well done!!

Carolynne, I have to disagree with Riley, I think it at least matched the others! Your voice is fantastic and I love you.

Two out of three for Carolynne, will she get a clean sweep next time?

Back to the groups and apparently they're going up (and up...and up...you get the idea) it's Belle Amie!

Riley's comment

Belle Amie! I was so looking forward to this, and you didn't disappoint - I just found the song just a little predictable.

Jack's comment

Belle Amie Well Done Tonight girls you seem to be going up and up each week. Vocals were ok but could have been a bit better. Well done!!

It was a nice performance but at this stage in the competition, nice isn't good enough. It didn't really make me want to get up and dance and it was too predictable. You do however have a very nice bond.

Mixed feedback for the girl group, will they turn it around in the second theme?

Speaking of which, that's Floor Fillers done, now the acts have to go all out in order to secure a place in the final next week, returning to the stage and according to this guy, heaven can wait, it's Ben Mills!

Riley's comment

Ben, this was not as good as your performance earlier, but it was still good. Well done.

Jack's comment

Ben the vocals were ok but there was no excitement there. The song just felt flat most of the song. I hope people vote for you tonight

Ben, the other judges have annoyed me there, you had the chance in round one to do an up tempo performance therefore I chose to give you a slower song to show the purity of your voice and to show you can contrast with different genres. I personally thought it was amazing.

Less of a positive praise for Ben, but has he done enough to earn a place in the final?

Back on stage, telling you the story of their lives, it's Only The Young!

Riley's comment

Guys, you have no idea how happy I am that you didn't use the 1D version of this song. Great performance. Well done.

Jack's comment

OTY Two amazing performances tonight!! Your such a great group to work with I hope people will vote for tonight, you have to be in the final

When I saw that you were singing this, I was actually dreading it but upon hearing the different style that it was, I loved it once again. You have yet to have a weak performance, you deserve a place in the final guys!

Superb comments again for the mixed group, but will the viewers match the praise with votes?

Returning to the stage and hey brother (No, I really don't have one), it's Carolynne Poole!

Riley's comment

Carolynne, why that song? I love the Avicii version of that song s much and I feel you ruined it. Sorry.

Jack's comment

Carolynne you never seem to disappoint me your always give a great performance, I hope to see you in the final next week!!

I think that was probably your best performance yet girls! However, looking at all of your performances across the series, I'm not sure if I want you to make the final. so sorry.

Well, it's a much more positive reception for the girls, but the votes will determine if they're safe.

Well there you have it folks, it's a short one but that is your lot for now. The acts have sung twice and it's time for you lot to have your say, so if you need to decide, just click below for a reminder of all of tonight's performances.

Spoiler


So to our viewers, if you have the desire to vote, send me your rankings of 4-1 via inbox. Judges can vote too and most of them already have. We'll have the results at 9:10pm, 10 minutes after the real show finishes. So you have under one hour and 35 minutes to vote in any case. Feel free to discuss about tonight's show here.

Well folks, I thank you all for the huge amount of votes I got tonight, but your chance has now passed. Earlier tonight, the four acts did all they could to sing twice, but now one of them is about to face the agony of leaving tonight, let#s welcome back the judges and your semi-finalists!

May I just say that this was a close call, but we have a clear result, so good luck to all.
In no particular order, the first act returning to next week's final is...
