CHAPTER 119

"Ladies and Gentlemen… welcome to the X Factor semi finals results show!" Dermott exclaimed. "Oh yeah! This is it. Tonight, you decide the three finalists. No final showdown, no judges vote, no deadlock. Just your votes alone will send three acts through to the final and one act home. It's that simple. Also tonight, we've heard her talk a lot but tonight, she's going to sing. Tulisa is with us!"

The X Factor judge would be performing. That should be fun.

"And, making her X Factor debut, the incredible Pink is here!'

The crowd cheered louder for the revolutionary artist.

"And also, a mystery guest will be making his presence felt by performing with our remaining finalists in their group performance. But first, a pop powerhouse foursome who have been stripped of their powers so all they can do tonight is be loud and opinionated. It's the X Factor judges!"

The judges took their place at the judging table without much fuss. They were all nervous more than anything else.

"All right, lines are still open but will close shortly so please be sure to vote on behalf of your favourite act. The three acts with the most public votes will be through to the finals. This is it. Four acts remain. They might be locked in an intense competition but they all entered because of one thing: they love to sing. So, let's hear it. Performing live and together with a very special guest… the X Factor finalists!"

Ella:

Merry Christmas, baby

Sure did treat me nice

Christopher:

Merry Christmas, baby

Sure did treat me nice

Finn:

Bought me a diamond ring for Christmas

I feel like I'm in paradise

Union J:

I feel mighty fine, y'all

Feel mighty fine, girl

I've got music on my radio, oh, oh, oh

Ella:

I feel like I'm gonna kiss you

Standing beneath that mistletoe

"Ladies and Gentlemen… please welcome Rod Stewart!" Finn announced and Rod Stewart himself walked on stage with the finalists.

Rod:

Santa came down the chimney

Half past three, y'all

Finn:

For my baby and for me, ha, ha, ha

All:

"Singing with our contestants… Mr. Rod Stewart!" Dermott shouted over the cheers from the audience. "Rod, thank you so much for singing with our contestants."

"Thank you for having me." Rod replied. "These guys, and lady, are so good! I was pleasantly surprised."

"Contestants, you just sang with Rod Stewart!" Dermott exclaimed, facing the four acts. "OK, and Rod, are you going to be touring with this album?"

"Yeah. Not this one. I've got another album coming out in April and I'm touring in June."

"OK, thank you so much for being here. Ladies and Gentlemen… give it up for Rod Stewart! Now, up next, taking her talents from behind the table to up on stage, give it up for our very own X Factor judge Tulisa!"

Your blazing sun turned into long cold sweats

After all you've done, I'm not over you yet

I know your heart is out the door

Let me grab my feelings from the floor

With everything said

And I'll get over you yet

I'm just playing

Oh baby

Why don't you just please come back

I'm begging baby boy

You don't have to be like that

We don't have to be like that

You don't have to be like that, woah oh

I can't believe we're through, packed bags

A lot of broken glass - what a drag

Used to love the sight of you

Now I can't stand the sight of you, woah oh

I can't believe you're gone, I'm so hurt

All the love we had, blank stare like you forgot

I used to love the sight of you

Now I can't stand the sight of you

Can't believe we're through [x2]

That amazing smile has been lost for a while

Now everything's a mess, still not one regret

And that heart of gold

When I ask where it's gone, you say "I don't know"

Hey I'm not finished yet

You are my biggest regret

Stop playing

Oh baby

Why don't you just please come back

I'm begging baby boy

It don't have to be like that

We don't have to be like that

You don't have to be like that, woah

I can't believe we're through, packed bags

A lot of broken glass - what a drag

Used to love the sight of you

Now I can't stand the sight of you, woah oh

I can't believe you're gone, I'm so hurt

All the love we had, blank stare like you forgot

I used to love the sight of you

Now I can't stand the sight of you

Can't believe we're through

I can't believe it's over babe

The journey in my heart is killing me

Breaking me unfaithfully

The sight is burning my eyes

I thought you would be forever babe

But forever has turned to never babe

How did something good go so bad, so quick, so fast still at just like that?

Or search: Sight of You Tulisa

"Give it up for our very own Tulisa!" Dermott exclaimed. "So, what's like to have been a mentor and judge 7 days a week for the past 9 weeks and now to flip it around so you're the one singing?"

"Terrifying." Tulisa replied, laughing.

"Is it really?" Dermott asked.

"Yeah."

"I mean, I know you were nervous all this week, but what's it like when you actually perform? Do you enjoy it?"

"You enjoy it but it's still terrifying."

"OK, your new single Sight of You is out now. Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for Tulisa! All right, on with the show. This is your five minute warning. You have five minutes to vote for your favourite act to send them through to the final. Time for tonight's third and final guest. An incredible artist. A singer-songwriter with an extraordinary voice who has become a star worldwide. With her new single, and her first time on the X Factor… give it up for P!nk!"

Oh oh

Ever wonder about what he's doing?

How it all turned to lies?

Sometimes I think that it's better to never ask why

Where there is desire

There is gonna be a flame

Where there is a flame

Someone's bound to get burned

But just because it burns

Doesn't mean you're gonna die

You've gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try

You gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Eh, eh, eh

Funny how the heart can be deceiving

More than just a couple times

Why do we fall in love so easy?

Even when it's not right

Where there is desire

There is gonna be a flame

Where there is a flame

Someone's bound to get burned

But just because it burns

Doesn't mean you're gonna die

You've gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try

You gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Ever worry that it might be ruined

And does it make you wanna cry?

When you're out there doing what you're doing

Are you just getting by?

Tell me are you just getting by, by, by?

Where there is desire

There is gonna be a flame

Where there is a flame

Someone's bound to get burned

But just because it burns

Doesn't mean you're gonna die

You've gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try

You gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try

You gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try

You gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Or search… 'Try by Pink'

"Ladies and Gentlemen… Pink!" Dermott exclaimed. "9 years we've been doing this show. What's taken you so long to come on it?"

"I don't know. Thank you so much for having me." She said.

"Oh it was our pleasure. So the album's out now. Are you going to be touring here soon?"

"Yeah, I think we're touring here in April."

"Good stuff. I think we're all looking forward to that. One more time, give it up for P!nk! All right, you have been voting on behalf of our 4 remaining acts for the past 24 hours. We thank you for that but lines are now CLOSED. Please don't call in now. It's too late for your vote to be registered so don't. Very soon we will know the lineup of the final and I've just heard that over a million of you have voted in the past 24 hours. Thank you so much for supporting our acts but this is it. Lines and closed and the results are in. It's time to find out which three acts are through to the final and who's going to be leaving tonight. So please welcome back the judges and their acts."

"Gary and the one remaining over 28… Christopher!"

"Louis and the one remaining group… Union J!"

"Tulisa and the one remaining girl… Ella!"

"And finally, Nicole and the one remaining boy… Finn!"

"OK, it's time for the results. The public have voted and I'm about to reveal the three acts going through to the final. As you know, no final showdown so the act with the least votes will be leaving immediately. In no particular order, the first act through to the X Factor final is… Finn!"

Finn leapt into the air in celebration.

"YES! COME ON! COME ON!" Finn shouted, punching the air in celebration. Nicole was just as happy and excited as he was.

"I'm so proud of you, dude." Nicole said as she hugged him. Finn then took his place on the podium side stage as one of three finalists.

"Joining Finn in the final next week is… Christopher!"

Well, Union J were out. Unless there was another massive shock and Ella was eliminated instead, which was technically possible. The audience were clearly thinking the same as Finn and some of them even started to boo him.

"Congratulations, Chris. Congratulations, Gary. Two acts have made it through. Only one more is guaranteed a place in the final. Union J, Ella. The third and final act through to the X Factor final is… Ella!"

Ella and Tulisa both screamed in delight and at this point, Finn and Christopher walked over to where she and Union J were standing so that they could hug and congratulate Union J for getting so far in the competition. Even though they didn't make the finals, Union J were surely going to be a name to watch out for in the future. Finn, Ella and Christopher then moved to the side so that Union J could have their quick exit interview with Dermott.

"Well boys…" Dermott said to the boy band. "I've gotta be honest. You've been telling me all day that you're going home. Josh, how do you feel?"

"Um… I'm so happy. We're so happy with how well we've done. We've got so much to thank the X Factor for." Josh said.

"And we'd like to wish the three in the final best of luck. They're amazing, and they're some of our closest friends now." JJ added.

"So, through to week 9, through to the semi finals. That's gotta be a great springboard for you. Louis, are you disappointed with the result?"

"Well, you know, I'm a little bit disappointed but we were ready for it. But you know what? They're going to have an amazing career. They're the next big boy band!"

"OK, well, we don't have much time. What was the highlight for you?" Dermott asked.

"Um… just meeting everyone. Being on this show has been our dream for our entire lives and being here right now performing… I can't even describe how amazing it's been."

"Well thank you so much. You've been absolutely brilliant. Ladies and Gentlemen… give it up for Union J!"

Union J waved to the cameras and walked off stage for the last time. The finals were set. Finn vs. Ella vs. Christopher. One of them would be claiming the title of X Factor champion.
