Talia Dean has become the second contestant to leave ‘The X Factor,’ following a whirlwind journey throughout her time on the show.
On Sunday’s Live Show, Talia impressed the Judges with her version of popular One Direction hit ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ – accompanied by a beautiful piano arrangement, along with her phenomenal and pure vocals.
Talia initially impressed judges at her first audition with her version of ‘I Put A Spell On You.’ At the Six Chair Challenge stage of the competition, she was given a chair, then forced to give it up, but was brought back.
At mentor Nicole Scherzinger’s Judges Houses’ stage, she sang ‘Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?’ by Culture Club. However, Nicole decided that she, unfortunately, wouldn’t be taking Talia through to the Live Shows.
Due to the public wildcard vote, however, Talia was voted back – talk about a rollercoaster journey!
Spencer Sutherland became the first contestant to be evicted from the show, following a new format adopted by the show this year, whereby the public are in complete control.
Grace Davies and Rak-Su were up against one another in a competition to win a prize to see Pink in New York and spend time with her. Following an incredible sing-off from both acts, Grace won the first Prize Fight of the series.
Simon Cowell was absent from Sunday’s Live Show, following an accident, which left him injured. Alesha Dixon served as his replacement on the show on Sunday.
