Lots of cheers, but Luke seems to have the most? Hmmm...

Special Prize: The winner of The X Factor will join Beyonce's tour when she visits the UK for The Mrs. Carter tour!

New Songs

Nicholas sings first and his homecoming is so emotional. I love Nicky! His friends were interviewed in the audience. They were cute! They were in kilts and brought Nicky some haggis.

Sam is next. Sam's grandmother's message made me cry. At the end of her song, her nan was in the audience! *tears*

Luke is last with a new song. Luke is the most "commercial and pop" of the homecomings. Sam and Nicky were more of a rags-to-riches story.

Rickey's Round One Verdict: Sam won on vocals. All three won on performance -- clearly they gave it their all, along with their dancers!

Act	Order	New Song
Nicholas McDonald	1	Candy
