I abstain from voting.\u201d Nicole said: \u201cLuke, you sang your heart out tonight. Sam, I knew you had it in you, and that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been looking for every night. I\u2019m sending home Sam.\u201d Gary said: \u201cLuke, good job. Sam, it\u2019s not all bad news, that was the best performance I\u2019ve ever seen you do. Well done. I\u2019m sending Sam home.\u201d Sharon would have sent Sam home.<\/p>\n<p>In the sing-off, Luke sang I Still Haven\u2019t Found What I\u2019m Looking For by U2, accompanied by his acoustic guitar. Sam sang the Goo Goo Doll\u2019s Iris.<\/p>\n<p>The X Factor began tonight with all of the finalists singing Never Forget by Take That. Tamera and Sam Bailey rocket it, but the others &#8211; the less said about it, the better.<\/p>\n<p>Miley Cyrus was the first guest performer of the evening, and having caused controversy in the past w months with her stage antics, we were quite excited to see her perform. Miley sang her big hit Wrecking Ball. Her set was quite interesting. Giving a raw performance of her song, it\u2019s clear that Miley has amazing talent. Talking to Dermot after her performance, she said: \u201cI will be back in the UK next spring, and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing you guys again!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The amazing Gary Barlow was the second guest performer of the night, and we couldn\u2019t wait to see him sing! Gary sang his new single Let Me Go. Gary always delivers, and we loved it!<\/p>\n<p>The X Factor continues next Saturday on ITV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sam loses the judges&#8217; save against Luke Friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":29909,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[18117,1392,2425,8824,18495,8854,17575],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.6 (Yoast SEO v22.6) -
