Love was in the air last night on The X Factor as the six remaining acts blasted out their power ballards in a bid to impress the Judges, and the viewing public. In a nail biting Results Show, Hope and primary school teacher Beverely Trottman went head to head in the sing off, only for Beverley to lose out when the Judges reached a deadlock.

Sharon explained her reason to let the vote go to a deadlock last night, “It took a lot of thinking tonight. Both acts are so different and both talented in their own ways. Hope represents the youth and Beverely, I think, is like the next Jennifer Hudson. So Ii could not call it so it was like, let the public decide.”

To be honest I think Sharon made the right decision. Both acts have been in the bottom teo before, and neither are able to win the show. It was only fair to gauge what the public support for the acts were. Hope may have survived another week, but it’s now only a matter of time before they leave…..
