As usual, the duo are just happy to be here. They said that meeting Lionel Richie wasn't even "part of their dream."
Simon Cowell: "That was your worst vocal of the season."
Lauren Murray performs "Take Me Home"

Simon Cowell: "I love the song, but it was a bit panicky."
Ché Chesterman performs "Would I Lie To You"

Che's mentor was in tears!
Simon Cowell: "That song is so iconic, I don't think that was the best version of that song."
Louisa Johnson performs "It's a Man's Man's Man's World"
Christina Aguilera's version! YAAS!!! She's going to win!
