DAYS LEFT FOR 5TH X FACTOR LIVE SHOW: Only 5 days to go!
DAYS LEFT FOR 5TH X FACTOR LIVE RESULTS' SHOW: Only 6 days to go!
A Halloween theme was set for Weekend 4 of The X Factor, as the 10 acts performed on that live stage on a Saturday-night in their bid to remain in the race for that £1 million recording-contract!
Saturday-night was all-about the performances but Sunday-night was all-about the results!
After seeing former contestant Cher Lloyd performing her new single 'With Ur Love' and X Factor USA judge Nicole Scherzinger performing 'Try With Me,' it was time to reveal those all-important results, discovering the 8 acts who booked their place for Weekend 5 and which 2 acts had sadly ended-up in the bottom-two.
The first act through to Weekend 5 was..........KITTY.
The second-act making-it through to next-week's show were..........THE RISK.
The third-act who had made it-through was..........CRAIG.
Another act booking their place for Weekend 5 were..........LITTLE MIX, which also meant that both of Tulisa's Groups' were safely through to next-week's show.
The fifth-act who progressed to Weekend 5 was..........MARCUS.
The sixth-act going-through to next-week's show was..........JOHNNY, meaning that both of Louis' Over 25s had made it-through.
The seventh-act who made it-through to Weekend 5 was..........JANET.
So only 3 acts were left on that stage with Misha B, Frankie and Sophie and only 1 place from the public-vote was up-for-grabs.
That last and final place from was scooped by..........FRANKIE.
So the Final Showdown was between Misha B and Sophie as they received the fewest-votes in the public-vote, which also meant that both contestants had to compete with each-other for the judges' vote.
After their last-ditch performances' in-front of the judges, it was Decision Time for them!
Louis was first-up to decide and the act he decided to send home was..........SOPHIE.
Tulisa was next-up to decide and after a while, the N-Dubz star had decided to send-home..........SOPHIE.
Alexandra Burke, who stood-in for Kelly this-week, did not need to vote as the ex-Destiny's Child star spoke on the phone from Los Angeles, meaning that Kelly herself had to send one of her own-acts out of the competition.
After quite some-time, Kelly had decided to send-home..........SOPHIE.
So it was 3 votes to send Sophie home, which also meant that Gary did not-need to take a decision but was asked who he would have sent-home and he also said that he was to send home Sophie.
That last and final 9th-place went to Misha B, who makes-it through to next-week's show!

DAYS LEFT FOR 2ND X FACTOR LIVE RESULTS' SHOW: Only 6 days to go!
The first LIVE Show saw 16 acts take to that X Factor stage and do all they could to convince the judges/mentors that they had what it takes to remain in the competition.
Last-night's first LIVE Results' Show saw the final 16 whittled-down to the final 12, as it was the night the judges' had to decide on who stays and who goes!
After a night of performances from the 16 acts on Saturday-night and after guest-star performances from last-year's winner Matt Cardle and US star Cee Lo Green, it was time for the contestants to discover their fate in the competition.
The judges' had to choose 3 acts to put-through to next-week's show and first-up, it was Louis Walsh.
The first-act Louis decided to put-through was.....SAMI!
The next-act the Over 25's mentor had decided to put through was.....KITTY!
So there was only 1 place left and it was between Jonjo and Johnny and after a while, Louis decided to put-through.....JOHNNY!
That was the final 3 of the Over 25's selected but it meant the end of the X Factor journey for Jonjo Kerr.
With the Over 25's settled, it was Gary's turn to choose his final 3 acts!
The first act from the Boys' category that Gary decided to put-through was.....MARCUS!
A second-act was to be chosen and the Take That star had put-through.....CRAIG!
So it was only Frankie and James' left standing-on that stage, waiting to hear which of them had secured their berth in next-week's LIVE show.
The final-act to form the final 3 of the Boys' category was.....FRANKIE!
So the X Factor adventure was over for James Michael.
There were still 2 more categories to go and it was Tulisa who was next to reveal her decision, as she had to select 3 Groups for next-week!
The first-act the N-Dubz star had decided to put-through was.....RHYTHMIX!
The second-act the Groups' mentor had decided to put-through was.....THE RISK!
Only 2 Groups were left, with 1 more place up-for-grabs but that decision was down to Tulisa and in tears, she decided to put-through.....NU VIBE!
With the 3 Groups' selected meant that it was 2 Shoes whose X Factor journey had ended.
So the 9 acts were chosen and the last-mentor to reveal her decision was Kelly, who had to choose 3 acts from the Girls' category.
Kelly revealed that the first-act through was.....JANET!
The second-act that the ex-Destiny's Child star had decided to put-through was.....MISHA!
So it was between Amelia and Sophie for the last-remaining place for the next LIVE show and with a lot of emotion, Kelly had decided to put-through.....SOPHIE!
So it was Amelia, who opened the show on Saturday-night, that saw her X Factor adventure ending.
So that was all 4 categories' settled, which meant that Jonjo Kerr, James Michael, 2 Shoes and Amelia Lily were the FOUR acts' that sadly, left the £1 million recording-contract competition!
A dramatic-weekend it was for sure. A challenging Saturday-night for the contestants and a challenging Sunday-night for the judges!
