Let's welcome back our The A* Factor judges and The Top 6!

NicPlays and the Girls
Faye Horne
Sam Lavery

danyal_ahmed and the Boys
Christian Burrows
James Hughes

RileyHollyoaks and the Over 25s
James Craise
Relley C

Mariesteller and no remaining Groups


Now onto the theme...

WEEK 5 – ‘LET’S GO INDIE!’

This theme may be a challenge as some of you like your mainstream tracks, but this is a really good theme for your acts to make an impact as we quickly approach the final stages. All you need to do is select a song by an indie artist. No mainstream allowed! There's a lot of hidden gems out there so use them!

The fifth live show will take place on Monday 12th December 2016 at 5:45PM.

This is also the final show of acts singing one song, as we enter the quarter finals the week after and the remaining acts will perform two songs.

Good luck judges and I'll see you next show.

Ah yes, that's one of the themes I used for my games, it's a really good theme cause there is so much hidden potential in the world of Indie Music, you just gotta look real hard to find some good ones.

There certainly are.

This theme could really be the making of your acts guys, if you pick a good song that is. If you've had an unknown track stored away, now might be the time to use it to get your act into the quarter finals.

I used Spotify in a game last year for Amelia Lily and ended up topping the vote

The X Factor may have a winner tonight, but we're still looking for who will take The A* Factor crown.

The running order has been sent to the judges. Viewers, join us on Monday evening at 5:45PM for the fifth live show and find out who will make it to the quarter finals!

It's going to be a good one, I can tell you that.

Hello and welcome to the fifth live show of The A* Factor!

Last week seen our Top 8 take on songs from movies in the theme ‘Lights, Camera, Action!’. Some performances were a hit at the box office but others flopped. With a double elimination looming, the acts fought hard for their place in the competition. However, it wasn’t enough for Niall Sexton who came bottom of the vote and therefore left the competition in 8th place. This left Janet Grogan and James Hughes to battle it out in the sing off, both appearing there for the first time. The judges opted to send Janet home 2-1 and as a result, she left the competition in 7th place.

Now onto this week, the remaining acts are taking on ‘LET’S GO INDIE!’. The acts have been working all week to perfect their performances and show you, the public, why they deserve a place in the quarter finals. Each of our remaining mentors have 2 acts left each, so it's sure to be an interesting show.

Let’s welcome our The A* Factor judges and The Top 6!

NicPlays and the Girls
Faye Horne
Sam Lavery

danyal_ahmed and the Boys
Christian Burrows
James Hughes

RileyHollyoaks and the Over 25s
James Craise
Relley C

Mariesteller and no remaining Groups

Judges please confirm your presence and then we will begin the show!

We'll just have to go on and hope they catch up. If you can't be here then please send me your comments in advance.

Opening the show it’s Danyal and his boys. This act didn’t get great feedback from our judges last week, so hoping to impress this week with his indie track; it’s Christian Burrows!

A great modern song choice which suited you but different from what you've done before. Great performance Christopher

Positive feedback for Christian, but it's your votes that decide if he makes it to the quarter finals or not. (Welcome Nic )

Now it’s over to Nic and the girls. This act got good feedback last week and is hoping for more of the same this week with her indie track; it’s Faye Horne!

I think this was one of your better performances but it seemed a bit vocally challenging for you

Faye

Faye, I wanted to do something slightly different with you this week. It actually didn't take me long to run into this song; in fact, this was probably the first week where I found you easier to find a song for than Sam. It was great, well done

Great comments for Faye this week, if you want her in the quarter finals then you have to vote!

Over to Riley and the Over 25s for the first time tonight. This act didn’t get good feedback for her Janet Jackson track last week, so she’s here to try and show why the indie theme will be the making of her; it’s Relley C!

Again i didn't like this Relley. You seem to be one of the weaker acts left and this song didn't let us see your vocal ability

Relley

Relley, the start was great. It was full of energy and a real eye opener to what your potential is. Unfortunately, as it went on, the song didn't really go anyhwere or showcase your vocals or rapping, so it fell flat and I got bored Still a step in the right direction though.
