Ladies and gentleman, the wait is over, after more than two months of live shows, we have finally reached the most important night of any game, the Grand Final. But to get to this point is never easy as one by one, each act left the competition and last week was no exception when we saw our country lass Carolynne Poole being eliminated, leaving Callum with one act left.

Tonight, our final three have much more than one chance to perform as by the end of it all, only one of them will be crowned the winner of Luck Of The Draw Series 2. But we have a long night ahead, so let us welcome the judges and your three finalists!

I'm here, I've already provided my comments but I may add onto them as the night progresses.

Okay, two out of three isn't bad, hope Riley catches up when he can.

Our first round will be about acoustics, so expect a quiet start. Kicking off the show will be the groups and this group has been chasing waterfalls all week (let's hope they didn't get soaked), it's Belle Amie!

Callum's Comment

Comment: Girls, that was my favourite performance of yours yet and what a better time than the FINAL to perform it! I am overwhelmed. Every week when you've got through, I've been disappointed and felt you've taken someones place but I can see why you've made the final now, some really great vocal styles and tricks you've saved us there.

What a positive reception to start the Final, could this be a night of top-notch performances?

Next is the last remaining over and he has his vision of a perfect world to show, it's Ben Mills!

Callum's Comment

Comment: I think this was a perfect song for a final Ben and as always you performed it with your own style and this whole passion for singing. In a perfect world, you would definitely win this competition.

Great performance tonight Ben. You deserve to be in this final. I look forward to the rest of your performances tonight!

Great comments for Ben to start his time in the Final.

Back to the groups and they can't help falling in love with you, it's Only The Young!

Callum's Comment

Comment: I hate to say it Only The Young because you know how much of a huge fan I've been of yours in every single part of this competition but I felt disappointed tonight. For me, that wasn't you, it didn't suit your ability. You have at least one more performance left though so hopefully you'll pull it out of the bag on that.

For the first time this series I have to disagree with Callum. I felt this was a good performance from you guys!

Soppyfan

08-11-2015

Well this is rare, it's mixed feedback for this mixed group, will they pull it back in time?

Well, the acoustics round is over and it's on to the second round which is all about duets and this could determine which acts gets to go through later. Returning to the stage with their duet partner, it's Belle Amie!

Comment: I don't actually like this song at all but you made me like it, it was very nice, I'm impressed.

Yeah sorry about that Jack but as I've said before, everyone has a weak performance. It was near on impossible for Only The Young to have all 10/10 performances.

Comment: Ben, I have goosebumps after that, your voice creates this incredible ora around and I love that. Thank you Aerosmith, brilliant.

Loved the performance one of my favourite songs. Great performance!!

Soppyfan

08-11-2015

Now that's a pair of rock stars if I ever saw one, will that put Ben through to the final two?

Returning to the stage with their duet partner, it's Only The Young!

Callum's Comment

Comment: After a shambles of a Round One performance, that was incredible, you took Bastille's song which is genius anyway and made it completely your own, I loved it.

Jack_Jones9

08-11-2015

Wow wow wow only the Young that was one hell of a performance!!

Soppyfan

08-11-2015

The lines are now FROZEN! (Brrrr, someone hand me a wholly jacket.)

So earlier this evening, the three acts sung twice with acoustics and duets, but now, one of them is about to be eliminated in third place, let's welcome back the judges and their acts.

Only two acts are certain to be able to sing again, so good luck to all involved.
In NO particular order, the first act singing in the final two is...

BELLE AMIE!

That's one for Jack, will he do the double whammy?

The second and final act going through to the final two is...

BEN MILLS!

Congrats Callum, you and Ben are one step closer towards the winning line. However this means that in a surprising departure, Only The Young are eliminated in third place. Huge commiserations to them and Jack who is now down to his final act, but it's not over yet.

Jack, if you have it with you, please post what would've been Only The Young's winning song.

Only the Young

Huge shock there but Only The Young have been incredible throughout the whole series.

Well done!

Soppyfan

08-11-2015

Alright, I'll post it for you.

Here's what would've been their winners song, give it up for Only The Young!

What a way to go, one more time for the mixed group who have to settle for bronze.

Now we must carry on with our final two acts and what better way to start than with the acts favourite song from this series. Back on stage with their favourite song from show 7, it's Belle Amie!
