Faye, I really love this song, and I wanted to give it to you at some point througout the competition as soon as you were selected for me. Never would I have imagined it would be in the final! I really loved that, vocally brilliant, and you did some infectious dancing. I'm hoping that you'll perform a miracle and win, but you have some stiff competition.

Great comments for Faye to open the show, but she needs your votes if she's to make the final two!

Now it's time for Danyal and his last remaining boy to take to the stage. This act may be a surprise finalist to a few, as he's the only act left to have appeared in the bottom two before. He's here to show why he shouldn't be underestimated and why he deserves a place in the final two. Taking on his floor filler song to keep the party going, it's James Hughes!

James, I never expected you to reach the final but you cannot be underestimated now. That was a great floor filler song. It was fun and infection but also your vocals were stunning. You need to be in the final 2!

Ohhh James, I really did love that! You went full out with the theme, and I loved it!! My only critique would be that some of the notes weren't suited to your voice, but that's really nitpicky. Honestly, two shows ago I thought you had no chance. Now you're the front runner

Great comments for James, if you want him in the final two then you have to vote!

Time to go back to Nic and the girls now. This act is another who has never appeared in the bottom two before, going strong all the way through and she's even received some comments from fans in the thread. Here to show why she has this support behind her, ending our Floor Filler round it's Sam Lavery!

The vocals were good but I have to be honest as it's floor fillers week. That was way too slow and boring right until the end of the song. But it was an Ok performance

Sam, it's the final; I have to go all out, pull all the stops and take every risk possible. And you were amazing! I know this song is legendary but you did wonderful things with it! It started slow....before at the very end, it all bigs up into one big loud rock fest! Sam, you've made me proud, no matter what happens tonight!

And Sam brings our floor filler round to a close.

It's time to start our CELEBRITY DUETS round now!

Up first, she's going creative and rewriting parts of the lyrics of the original. Joining her is a music legend and someone who is well respected in the business. Get ready, it's Faye Horne singing with Alicia Keys!

Girls that was fantastic. Very moving! My only criticism is that Faye your voice was a bit shaky at the start and I would loved if you sang together more. But still fantastic

Faye, I loved this! You put your own spin on an already well known song, and on stage you absolutely shone with Alicia! Your vocals were incredible, and by the end you anaged to bring a tear to my eye. Well done, amazing!

And btw, that lyric divsion took aaaaaaages to write. They didn't have the lyrics on google so I had to manually type them out!

James, I loved that, great song choice! My only critique is that the song didn't really go anywhere, but that aside flawless! Well done, you've made the final two for sure!

*Standing Ovation*
That was fantastic guys. Your voices blended together so well and the harmonies were out of this world. James, your tone with Sia's voice blew me away. One of the best duets!

Look, Sam, I wanted to do something a little bit different, then I remembered this underrated beauty from 2015! Sam, it was so chilling, dark and haunting and I loved what you did with Mørland with it! I've never won one of these games, but I really hope I do tonight

Much better than your last performance Sam. Both of you worked well together and there was a lot of chemistry. Well done!

And with that, Part One of the Final comes to a close.

The three finalists have done all they can to get to part two of the final, but it's now in the public's hands. They can do no more.

A recap of the Part One Final performances:

I'd like it at ten tonight

It would be amazing if my acts came top 2, seeing as my other two girls were the last two!
