*Just a note, the last act safe is not necessarily in the bottom three. I don't think I've stated that before, sorry.

That means it's Relley C vs. James Craise in tonight's sing off, a double whammy for Riley and his Overs. It's Relley's first time here whilst James appeared here all the way back in Week 1.

Once both acts have performed, we'll go to the judges for their decision in the following rotation:

Danyal > Nic > Riley

As you can see, there can be no deadlock and therefore the judges must make a decision tonight on who leaves.

Now, I don't believe Riley is here at the moment so I will have to post the sing off songs on his behalf.

Fighting for her survival, it's Relley C!

Now James C doesn't have a sing off song, so he'll have to reprise his earlier performance. Here to prove why he should stay, please welcome back James Craise!

Danyal, coming to you first. Please give the name of the act you're sending home and why.

1-0 to send James Craise home.

Nic, coming to you next. Please give the name of the act you're sending home and your reason for doing so.

1-1.

Which means it is down to their mentor Riley's vote. As he's not here, his vote from earlier will be taken into account.

The act Riley is sending home in 6th place is...

Let's welcome back our The A* Factor judges and The Top 5!

Now let's get onto the theme...

As it's the quarter final, your acts will be taking on TWO songs.

WEEK 6, PART 1 – ‘BEST OF BRITISH’

Easy! All this theme requires you to do is select a song by a British artist. I'd definitely advise you not to run straight to a well known one, as indie night proved you all are more than capable of finding great unknown tracks that will boost your acts potentials.

WEEK 6, PART 2 – ‘AMERICAN ANTHEMS’

Again, very simple. Select a song by an American artist. Not to repeat myself, but lesser known songs may be of use to you here.


Now here's a provisional schedule for the next few shows, please say if you can't make one and we will reschedule!:

Quarter Final (Week 6): Thursday 15th December 2016 at 6:00PM.

Semi Final (Week 7): Sunday 18th December 2016 at 5:45PM.

Grand Finale (Week 8): Tuesday 20th/Wednesday 21st December 2016 at 6:00PM.

We can decide what day for the finale nearer the time as it depends how long you will need to pick songs.


Good luck judges and I'll see you in the quarter finals.

Are those dates okay for everyone?

I don't really want to have another show like tonight where we only have 1 judge present for the full show, it ends up feeling flat and we want some excitement going into the final stages!

And we're back!

I don't have any songs so I'll need them now preferably and we can have the show tomorrow or Sunday judges.

Sure, will send the running order when I get all the songs in.

I'll post an updated schedule too as I didn't realise we would be disturbed by DS.

Just waiting on Riley's songs now and then I'll send the running order.

Riley has just quit the show which is going to cause a big problem now.

If someone wants to take over feel free to drop me a message.

But, I very much doubt someone would want to take over at this stage, meaning that Relley would be disqualified and finish in 5th place. Leaving us the remaining four and making the quarter finals now the semi finals.

I'm not sure how worthwhile it is going forward with just two judges though. Let me know your thoughts guys.

Very frustrating to happen so close to the end.

I've decided we will continue with the game as we're so near the end.

As a result, Relley C has been disqualified and finishes in 5th place. Which is a shame as you'll see from the voting stats when I release them at the end of the series.

That means the next show is now the Semi Final instead of Quarter Final. We only have 2 judges left with acts anyway so we can continue with just the two of you.

Which means, congratulations to Danyal and Nic as you both are guaranteed at least one act in the final!

I've also decided that since the semi final has been suddenly sprung on you, I'll give you the option of sending me a 'GO FOR BROKE' song. Esssentially a song to get your act in the final.

This can be swapped with one of your Best of British or American Anthems songs for each act. Of course, if you'd rather keep it the same then that's fine as well.

The show takes place on Sunday at 5:30PM so if you're changing songs do get them in quickly.

If you aren't changing songs please state in the thread.

Hopefully we'll see you both here tomorrow!

Running order sent.

Viewers join us for the SEMI FINAL show on Sunday evening at 5:30PM. Find out who will make it to our Grand Finale!

Around a hour and a half until tonight's show!
