Judges comments:

Louis: “Definitely the best performance of the night. The theme was George Michael though. Madam broke the rules, she picked an Elton John song””
Dannii: “Four Judges standing for you. That was exceptional. When you first walked out, you were nervous and you don’t need to be, such passion and a real honestly to your voice. Love you, you deserve to be here.”
Simon: “Here’s a new rule. We’re going to stop you from speaking because after this young kid gets up on stage, does the performance of his life, absolutely 100% nailed the song and you’ve got the audacity to sit there with your silly, stupid rule book again.. who cares what you think?”
I take a bit of credit for this – I remember saying to you give it an extra 10% and you did, congratulations”
Cheryl: “George Michael sang it! And he had a massive hit with it. You just stole the show.”
