Last time, our Top 7 sang hits they were raised on but unfortunately, for Swedish brothers JTR, it was the end of their run on the show. Tonight, the judges will be picking songs for the other acts, so expect some poor acts to be thrown under the bus by Foo. ... It's time to face the music!

Recap after the jump ...

"Wake Me Up" - 8/10 - Taylor keeps blaming his tight jeans for last week's mistakes. Dannii picked this one because she wanted to hear something aside from acoustic ballads. "You can't go wrong with a bit of dance" she says. Ronan should be thanking Dannii, this is such a great pick for him. It's not such a big risk cause it's still kinda in Taylor's wheelhouse but it's also way more upbeat than he's used to. He coped wonderfully with it, his vocals were excellent and his attitude was spot on. Has he ever looked more confident than tonight? I don't think so. The one part I didn't like was when he started jumping but other than that, this was a pretty stellar performance. He gets a standing ovation. "There was no fear, you just went for it, probably for the first time. To be given a song like that and to do that, you've come full circle for me, well done" (Nat)




"She Will Be Loved" - 8,5/10 -  His grandma flew from the USA last week to watch his performance. Foo has picked this song. Ronan loves it. Foo's been waiting to hear Omar seen pop for a while now. As much as I hate to say this, Maroon 5 is actually a pretty good choice for Omar. It's not the most original performance but he executed it in such an effortless, professional way. This is easily the best he's sounded, I hope his fan base is big enough to put him through, cause after such a composed delivery, he deserves it. "I knew that song was perfect for you. That was amazing. You did the song justice but you put your Omar into it" (Foo)




"Clarity" - 7,5/10 -  Finally. Dami isn't going last, nor first. Shocker. She says she was singing not for her family but also for Dannii's cause her grandmother passed away last week. Always cocky Ronan hands Dami this song with a "you can thank me later" on the envelope. He picked this song because he wants to show how current Dami can be. Dami says she's used to sing old fashioned tunes so this is a big challenge for her. Well, it didn't feel like it. She sang this song with so much ease! While not her best vocals (something sounded slightly wrong during the second half) Dami completely nailed this song. By the way, that "flying saucer", as Foo called it, on top of her head did such a cool effect. Another standing ovation. "You proved me wrong. I loved that. You are incredible Dami, whatever is thrown at you, you deal with it, you work so well" (Ronan)

1. THIRD D3GREE
2.  Omar Dean
3. Taylor Henderson
4. Dami Im
5. Jiordan Tolli
6. Jai Waetford

Omar Dean - "You Found Me" - He clearly wasn't expecting to be in the B2 cause he sounds dreadful on this song. Just when Omar was starting to get some confidence, he lands in the B2. No wonder he looks so damn insecure up there. The second half wasn't as bad as the first but unfortunately, since Jiordan is Foo's last act, I'm expecting Omar to go home tonight, which is a shame since he's way more talented than Jai is.


Jiordan Tolli  - "Stay" - Not Jiordan's greatest but at least she sounded better than Omar did. But despite the consistent, lovely vocals, there was something missing from the performance. There was no spark in her eyes, it just wasn't emotional enough. I'm starting to fear Foo is completely ruining this girl.


"Jiordan, great performance, you sang beautifully. Omar, you've taken this on gracefully, every single week you've been an absolute gentelman. The act that I'm sending home is Jiordan" (Ronan)
"Omar is definitely one of the nicest dudes in this whole competition. He's the definition of smooth, with the voice, the falsetto, nobody can really do that. Jiordan, that was my personal favourite performance. That was, under preassure, so smooth, that voice, it was perfect for me. The act I'm sending home is Omar" (Foo)
"Omar, I love how you've grown so much in this competition, your showdown song there, you just went for it. Jiordan, when you first auditoned for us I thought you were insane. I feel like we haven't heard that much throughout this from you and I have to say that I think it's a lot of the songs you've been singing haven't suited your voice but tonight was really amazing. I wish I didn't have to, the act that I'm sending home tonight is Omar" (Nat)
"I loved both of your performances tonight. I think what both of your performances shown is that you know who you are. What I'm gonna do is, the act I'm sending home is Jiordan" (Dannii)



Wow. This sucks. I expected Jiordan to leave if it went to deadlock. I guess the song choice was at blame cause it was so laid back. Omar is an amazing singer, probably the best in Ronan's team so it's unfortunate to see him leave at this stage. Hopefully, we'll get to see him again.
