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!

20-12-2016
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

20-12-2016
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!

7 Years (Rewritten) with Alicia Keys

Faye:

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Yeah

Once I was 7 years old
My mamma told me to
Be the kindest girl that I could be
Once I was 7 years old

This is a scary world
I didn’t let that phase me

We put our brave face on
From the morning ‘til the evening

And by 11 I’d learn words that hurt more than bruises
Life is a restless game we’re trying not to lose it

Once I was 11 years old
My daddy told me
My heart had to be the prettiest thing about me
Once I was 11 years old

Alicia:

I always dreamt so big
And I’ma keep on dreamin’
And in a hopeless world
I’ve always kept believing

I’ve always kept on breathin’
Always kept achievin’
Despite the sticks and stones
I will not be defeated

Faye:

Soon I’ll be 20 years old
And my brothers told me
To hold the ones who love me most so closely
Soon I’ll be 20 years old

Alicia:

Yeah

No, no, no

Faye:

Make this place a little better
We need to live within a world
Where everybody matters
No I don’t wanna see
Anyone’s sons or daughters
Cryin’ ‘cause they don’t fit in with what society has taught them

Alicia:

Soon I’ll be 20 years old
And my friends have told me
To keep my chin up
When my tears are steamin’
Soon I’ll be 20 years old

Yeah

Ohhh

Both:

Soon we’ll be 30 years old
What will our lives hold
Will we be satisfied with all that surrounds us
Soon we’ll be 30 years old

Faye:

Yeah

No matter how old we are
Age is just a number
It’s never too late to love

Alicia:

To reach or care for each other
To forgive a brother
Or to find a lover
Life is a mystery
Waitin’ to be discovered

Faye:

Soon I’ll be 60 years old
My life will be a story
Where my children tell their children about me

Alicia:

I’ll watch a generation
Rise up to change the nations
The past lays down foundations for the future celebrations

Yeah

Faye:

Soon I’ll be 60 years old

Alicia:

Yeah

Faye:

Will I be all alone
‘Cause I never valued
What was all around me
Soon I’ll be 60 years old

Alicia:

Soon I’ll be 60 years old
And God will show me
That he was by my side
Through my every heartbeat

Ohhh

Faye:

Yeah yeah

Once I was 7 years old
And my mama told me to
Be the kindest girl that I could be

Once I was 7 years old

Alicia:

Yeah

Both:

Once I was 7 years old

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
NicPlays
20-12-2016
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!

It's over to the boys now for the next duet. It's more of a trio actually, a star studded one! Please welcome James Hughes with Sia and Grouplove!

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!

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!

Over to the girls now for the final duet of the night before the lines open. Calling themselves monsters, it's Sam Lavery with Mørland!

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!
