First up is Stacey… Stacey returns to Dagenham with Dannii and is gobsmacked to see thousands waiting to welcome her. Bless, she’s still shy as she takes to the stage in her old school – they love her!
Stacey’s first track, Wonderful World is a credit to her. She woos the crowd with her dulcet tones and hits every note without nerves. It’s smooth and almost hypnotic in places – and she seems far more confident tonight. Go on girl!
Louis says, "people love you, I can’t believe that you don’t know how good you are!"
Cheryl is impressed that Stacey is ‘working it’ under pressure, Simon agrees "now you’re like a calm nervous wreck instead of a nervous wreck and that took me back to your first audition. You totally deserve to be here."
Dannii is like a mother hen and is so proud of Stacey. "This has been the most emotional week ever and I remember your first audition when you walked onstage with little Zac. You have come so far, well done."

Woohoo! Heeeeeeere’s Olly!
I’m all for the underdog and I have to say, I hope Olly goes through to tomorrow. He’s been such a cheeky chap and has consistently improved. I’m looking forward to his duet with Robbie the most, but let’s see how he goes with his audition song Superstition.
Check out Mr Smooth! He looks the part that’s for sure and is not so heavy on the cheese tonight. You can’t beat a bit of the Olly wiggle can yer? He really got the crowd going and put his own twist on a Stevie classic.
Oooh, he’s just slid between his dancers legs as they shimmy. I hope they’ve got their noonies on under there!
Louis agrees with me that not many can sing a Stevie Wonder song like that. Cheryl thinks that that was a performance you would see at a concert, "you fully deserve to be here!"
Simon gushes, "I said I took a risk on you, but it was the best risk I’ve ever taken in my life. To do a performance like that on the biggest night of your life…" The crowd go wild!
Olly is chuffed to bits with the judges comments, he can barely contain himself. He reveals that he nearly slipped as he stepped on stage and the audience chuckle along…
Vote Olly people!

With the last of the audition songs we have Joe. He’s performing Dance With My Father and I’m really going to try and not call him wet. You know my opinion guys and although Joe is far more musical theatre than the other contestants, I’m holding judgement tonight to see how he fairs… Promise.
He loved returning home with Chezza, talk about mobbed!
Mmm… His vocal is bob on, but I think after Stacey and Olly’s performance the song choice is wrong. I have to be honest, it’s a bit of a downer… He gives it his all and it’s pretty much faultless – Sack the stylist though, his outfit looks like a school uniform.
Louis says he’s got better and better as the show has gone on and he’s got it all. Dannii thinks he’s adorable, "it’s been incredible to see you through the whole competition. You never let us down."
Simon agrees with Louis, "You are a great example of someone who is talented but is still such a nice person. I so want you to be a in the final!"
Cheryl is welling up, "That was an amazing performance. You are a credit to your family, they are some of the nicest people I have ever met… I want you to be in the final."
So who do you think gave the best audition performance?

Time for the duets and I can’t tell you how much I’ve been looking forward to these…
Stacey kicks things off with Feeling Good and as Michael Buble joins her for the second verse the crowd erupt. I think Stacey’s more excited than all the audience combined! Doesn’t she look stunning? …and she’s really got that sexy thing down. Then again, in that dress who wouldn’t?
Michael thinks that Stacey has what it takes to go all the way and asks the crowd if they could tell how much fun they had during their performance. I have three words, have a shave.

This is the big one for me…
Olly and Robbie Williams singing Angels, what a track. I mean talk about stealing the show… Hang on, Robbie looks very nervous and it’s like Olly is supporting him. He fluffs the words at the start of his verse and Olly helps him get the right place. I know I should be saying this about Olly, but Robbie pulls it back by the end.
As the boys finish Robbie screams, "COME ON OLLY! COME ON OLLY!"
Robster gushes, "I am a massive fan of Olly, I love his voice and I love his character. He’s like a quiet storm and so calm… I should be taking tips from him!"
Can you actually believe they’ve managed to get George Michael to sing Don’t Let The Sun go Down On Me with Joe? I think it won’t sink in until I see him.
Here he comes! God he’s smooth isn’t he?
What a voice, go on George!
(Sorry, Joe is good too…)
I’m just a bit shocked as the last time I saw George Michael he was grey haired and covered in stubble after a heavy night out, he looks fab!
Joe cannot believe that he has just sang with George Michael. George says that Joe has ‘rose to the occasion’ but wishes all three contestants the best. "They have to do all this and then meet people like us."
I think if Robbie hadn’t fluffed I would have liked Angels best, but my gold star for the duets has to go to Joe (I know, I’m shocked too!)

Do you know, this was probably my favourite performance from Stacey. Who Wants To Live Forever was her greatest vocal as far as I’m concerned and I just love the song. What a fantastic choice for the final.
WOW! She tops her previous performance and is every bit the diva tonight – Killer dress too!
Louis says, "that was vocally incredible and very few people can sing Fressie Mercury so well."
Cheryl says she sounds incredible, she looks incredible and she hopes she’s in the final. Simon thinks she "smashed it!"
Dannii is so proud of her and Stacey adds that getting to the final two would mean everything. "It would be so cool!" Bless her…
Simon introduces Olly and adds, "this song was the moment when I thought Olly could be a pop star and he would always give it 100%"
Olly makes the production his own and flirts with his horde of dancers like a pro, it’s fantastic! He works the crowd and I’m just hoping Fool In Love was the track that puts him through to the final
Louis is overjoyed, "that was my favourite song of yours. You’re sexy, you’re soulful, you’re talented. I think you’ve got it all, you’ve got the X factor!"
Cheryl and Dannii are pleased to see Olly step up and improve on the last time he sang that track.
Simon is pleased as punch, "I really really hope that this isn’t the last time you sing. I’ve got to know you and your family and as a person, I’m really really proud of you. I would love to see you in the final."
Olly takes the chance to thank everyone who has voted. He adds that he can’t believe he’s in the final and will be crushed if he doesn’t make the final two. "This has just been the best night of my life!"
Do you think Olly can make it?

Wow, Joe pulled that out of the bag.
It’s gonna be tough to call this you know…
He performed Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word and it’s both vocally sound and emotional. Great job Joe!
Louis says that Joe has ‘the voice’ and adds that out of the three contestants he deserves to be in the final two. "You are a pop star."
Simon says that Joe is "special" and he has proved what a great singer he is with that song.
Cheryl is in tears again, "if there is any justice in the world you will be in the final tomorrow. I love you Joe and if you love what Joe does, you have to pick up the phone!"
So that’s it for the solos…
Who would you like to see in the top two?

Get voting!
I can’t believe the contestants performances are over and there’s half an hour left of the show. I know Simon has some surprises planned, but half a ruddy hour! Can you say dragging it out for votes?
Oooh, this should be interesting…
Robbie Williams is doing another exclusive performance. I think he’ll give it his all after fluffing his lines earlier.
Yes, yes, much more the old Robbie that one.
On his knees to the crowd (and they scream) and then some silly dancing thrown in to charm the masses. I still think he should tour and get his mojo back up to full though, don’t you?

Here we go!
Lines are now frozen and only two acts will go through to Sunday’s show. Who do you want to make it?
THE RESULT:
Through to tomorrow are…
Olly (YES!)
and…
Joe!
We have an all male final and a guaranteed male winner.
Sadly we lose Stacey tonight.. She gave it her all but it just wasn’t enough. Stacey wants to thank everyone who voted and describes her time as "brill!" She’s got the personality and the voice, I think we’ll be seeing her again.
Olly to win!
Do you think the public chose wisely?
