Niall Sexton

Niall, that was really good! I did find it a little bit safe, but I did like how you sung something originally by a girl. Well done

This is actually one of my favourite songs, so I had high expectations going into this.. but you smashed it. Possibly best of the night so far, I loved it and you have so much potential which I hope Danyal is able to capitalize on as you are capable of so much. Next week though, I would like to see you tackle a more upbeat number as I feel that could work for you.

Hugely positive feedback for Niall (the first of the night!), but if you want to see him here next week you gotta vote.

Time to go back to Riley and check in on the Over 25s again. The next act was selected at random for Riley as part of the twist and he was pleased on the night to have her; it's Relley C!

Relley C

Relley, I loved you on the X Factor, but not so much here I'm afraid It was very predictable and safe, I wish you hadn't gone for Beyoncé and went for someone more unknown. It was a bit cliché, I didn't enjoy it, I'm sorry

Amazing performance Relley. A great song choice however I think at the start the vocals were slightly weak

Relley, while your vocals were really good as always in this, I feel like I could have done more as a mentor. To provide you with a less cliché song and something less generic. At the time this sounded good, but after listening to it back, I feel like I didn't reach your full potential which is something I am sorry for. However, you still deserve your votes as you are so talented and amazing, tonight was just off night; we can work on it

Mixed comments for Relley again (a running theme tonight), but it's down to your votes whether she will be safe from being in the bottom two tonight.

Back to Nic and his girls again. The next act was sent home at the six chair challenge and was selected at random for Nic as part of the twist; it's Faye Horne!

Faye, I think this was truly spectacular. Nic found a great pick for you tonight which really suits your voice and style. I hope you stay tonight because this is definitely in my Top 3 so far tonight!

Faye Horne

I'll admit I was slightly disappointed when I got you, but then after a long (I mean looooooooooong) time searching for a song, I remembered this hidden gem from 2014 and I thought it would work wonders for you. Your performance was beautiful and gave me goosebumps. I hope everyone likes this, I know I did.

Going to post two at a time now just to speed it up a little so we can open the voting.

Fantastic comments for Faye, will it be enough to get her through to next week?

Over to Maris and the second of the groups now. This act has made it far in the live shows of the X Factor so far, will they be able to do the same in The A* Factor? It's 5 After Midnight!

Back to Danyal and the last of the boys now. Another shock Judges Houses elimination, this act has a lot to prove and he was selected at random for Danyal as part of the twist; it's Christian Burrows!

5 After Midnight
Boys, I didn't like it. I don't think this was up to your usual standard and (like The Brooks) I feel it was just one of you doing all the work. Not very impressed with this boys

Christian Burrows
Wow Christian! I found this excellent and one of the best of the night so far. I feel like this is something I would listen to on a regular basis which speaks miracles about you. I think you could go far in this competition :P

5 After Midnight

Yes guys, I really liked that! It was cheesy, but the good kind of cheesy that makes you smile It suited you and you got the whole crowd involved and I LOVED it!

Christian Burrows

Christian, I really like this song, and you did it justice! I wasn't expecting this style for you, but I love what Danyal is doing with you and I can't wait to see what you do next

Hmmm not sure about this guys seemed like only person did all the singing. But I think your mentor can unleash the potential in you

Now over to Riley and the last of the Over 25s tonight. A Judges Houses elimination, Riley clearly sees something in her that Sharon didn't; it's Janet Grogan!

Now it's to the last of the girls tonight. This act was voted by YOU, the public, to be in the top 13 as a wildcard during the launch show. Here to hopefully prove why you made the right decision; it's Gifty Louise!

I don't think people expected this but you delivered! You really played that song choice to your strengths

Janet! Yes girl! You really played this song to your strengths - your vocals were on point during this and you were able to give off an amazing performance! The public should get behind you tonight as you were amazing tonight

Gifty Louise
Gifty, I found this widely predictable and while I do like the song, I don't think you did this justice tonight. I feel like this may have been a last minute choice as I don't feel this really suited you and it was hard to imagine you singing this

I can see where your mentor is going and the vocals were great however I think the song choice was slightly safe

Closing the show tonight it's another of our randomly selected acts. This time it was for Maris and her groups category. This act has had a whirlwind of a time in the X Factor, in, out, in, out...you get the point! It's Four of Diamonds!

Janet

Oh my god, Janet, I LOVED that!!!!!! It suited you so much, yet wasn't predictable, and you sung it perfectly!! AMAZING performance, hands down the best.

Gifty

Well, Gifty, I hope this wasn't too safe and/or predictable, because you did it justice, in my humblest of opinions. I'm so glad youn got the wildcard and I hope you make it through!

Girls it was hard to visualise you performing this as there is only 1 girl singing. You have potential but have been let down by poor song choice
