Ok, so what is jukebox week?
And Nicole's had a haircut.
1. Nicholas opened the show with "Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars.
2. Tamera worked with a hypnotherapist to help her remember her lyrics to "We Found Love" by Rihanna. But she probably wishes she could forget this outfit.
Louis loved it. Nobody else did.
Perhaps rehearsing more would be a better way of remembering lyrics than going to a hypnotherapist? Maybe?

/ Via3. Nicole did a nuanced Louis impression.
4. Sam hammed it up with "How Will I Know" by Whitney Houston, incorporating some classic dance moves.
Nicole thought the whole thing was a bit 'cruise ship', and she was probably right, but it was great to see Sam bopping about rather than ballad-ing.
Sam x Whitney,go on my babes!!!

/ Via5. Rough Copy performed a jumbled up medley of R.Kelly and Bobby Brown.
Sharon reacted typically.
Sharon Osbourne appears to have been written by a team of Hollywood writers whose only exposure to Britain is Russell Brand and Benny Hill.

/ Via6. Luke had a win for Real Music with an adept version of Bon Iver's "Skinny Love".
But he lost his indie cred by admitting that he'd never been to Glastonbury.
"Glastonbury is my favourite festival...but I've never been" Great performance but you're an idiot, Mowgli. #xfactor

/ Via8. Tamera elegantly performed Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face".
Lot of words in this song. Anyone else tense? #XFactor

/ Via9. Luke Friend 'Luke-d up' Mumford and Sons. By which I mean, he sang a Mumford and Sons song.

/ Via10. Rough Copy did a textbook performance of R Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly", complete with a trio of excellent hand gestures.
As song actions go, I preferred Rough Copy's "I'm about to fly off, this is my wing" to Sam Bailey's phone hand. #xfactor

/ Via11. But the performance of the weekend went to Sam Bailey, with "Clown" by Emeli Sandé.
Nicole reacted appropriately.
#XFactor Let's be honest, it's all about who will finish 2nd to Sam isn't it? Flawless vocal again..

/ ViaOn Sunday, Tamera and Luke faced off in the sing off. It went to DEADLOCK.
Or should we say, dreadlock?
It has to go to dreadlock I'M SORRY SO SORRY #xfactor
