Hello Great Britain and Hello World! We're very live on this Friday evening and this is the first ever live show of X Factor: Second Chances

It has been a grueling week for our judges as they cut down eight acts to just only three. On our last show, we saw Juan choose the three acts he thought deserved a second chance in the competition and will be under him in the Underdogs category.

Our twelve acts are now ready to face the competition and the theme for tonight is This Is Me. A week wherein our acts will perform songs that represent them as an artist. A perfect week to make an impression to the public. They better make an impression tonight as one act will saying goodbye to the competition.

Now enough with those intros and let's welcome your Second Chances judges and the top 12

Danyal_Ahmed and the over 25s
Janet Grogan
Carolynne Poole
Raign Rabin

RileyHollyoaks and the groups
New Kings Order
Skarl3t
The Brooks

juankarlostoday and the underdogs
Maricel Callo
Eumee Capile
Ryan Lawrie

SoapAddict101 and the under 25s

Great two of four judges present and I have Juan's comments with me. I guess Soap will be here in a little while.

The dice takes a big part of the game. As it would decide the weekly twist we will have and it will be rolled before the start of the show.

To start things off the first live show, we start with our first dice roll of the series.

Here are what each phase of the dice represents, landing on it will be tonight's twist.

Are you ready? What twist are you excited for?

Finally after all those years, she made it through to the live shows. Kicking off the first live shows, it's Melanie McCabe

A fantastic opening to our first live show Melanie! An incredibly catchy and quirky song, showing your fun side and your great vocals, I just loved every minute of it. I simply couldn’t be any more happier with that performance. I'm so proud. You were really enjoying yourself up there and I really hope the public get behind you after that!

A great opener Melanie. A quirky song choice which has played well. The vocals were strong and smooth as well. Congrats Melanie!

Honestly, this isn't a song I would've picked for you and I don't think it suited your voice.. I liked it - the song was fun and quirky but not something I would want chosen for you.

Could you be more specific as to why not? So I can improve in the future

Thanks everyone

Great reception for Melanie opening the night except the note on the song choice from Riley. Will we still see Melanie on the Second Chances stage? It's up to your vote.

Now, we move to the first of the Overs, will her elastic heart prove why she deserves to stay in this competition? Here is... Janet Grogan

Juan: Hello and well done for making it onto the show. I love your voice. I do feel however that this song was a little safe and predictable for you……. You sang it very well but I wanted more emotion coming from you in the performance. Well done anyway!

Janet, I am so proud of that performance. I think you made that song your own which is hard to do. You totally owned that stage

I don't really think your sound is like Sia Janet, she's a very unique artist so I struggled to connect with this performance. I think you can do better than this but nevertheless it was a decent performance.

Ohh... Mixed reactions for Janet Grogan from our panel but the decision if she stays or goes are as always in your hands.

Up next, it's Riley and the Groups. Will you still be thinking out loud on why to vote this group after this performance? It's New Kings Order

You did well with making that song your own however i found the performance quite boring and it didn't really appeal to me
