Walthamstow's Addictiv Ladies, (clockwise from top-left) Fleur East, Nicola Owusu-Akontoh, Vivienne Umeh and Stephanie Yamson have the unenviable first spot on tonight's 'final 12' show.

The four 17 year olds are all looking very beautiful and glamorous as they hit their stage markers ready to start the song. Faye Sawyer, who is stylist for all the acts this year, has done the ladies proud.

The girls launch into their routine and strut around stage brimming with confidence. Jamelia's Superstar is a perfect up-beat number for their up-beat personalities.

Happily, the dodgy tuning which marred some of their audition and Boot Camp performances seems to have been put to rights. Fleur is doing a good job on the lead vocal and Nicola, Stephanie and Vivienne are harmonising well.

The ladies provide a smashing, lively start to proceedings and strike a mean pose on the final beat.

With tonight's main show lasting 90 minutes they must be hoping that the voting viewers will remember how good they are by the time it finishes! Unfortunately one spectator in the audience, who goes by the name of 'Louis Walsh', seems to have forgotten already!

The Addictiv Ladies strike a pose at the end of their 'Superstar' performance on The X Factor final 12 show.

Panel-Bites:

Simon Cowell:  (Introduction) Okay, I am very proud to introduce to you four very hot, very attractive ladies. Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Addictiv Ladies.

Intro Clip...

Fleur:  (Sitting with the group) Before this competition we were just a group of four 17-year-olds going to college, singing to each other, having fun... but now it's like (Laughs) we're performing to like... over 9 million people on a Saturday night and that is just amazing.

Simon Cowell:  I have seen something in this group. Love their personality, love their energy, I love their youth! They may pull something out of the hat which could surprise people.

Stephanie:  It's like we've trained all our lives for this... All that time we've been rehearsing, and what for? This is what it's for.

Addictiv Ladies sing...

Kate Thornton:  Sharon! Your comments please?

Sharon Osbourne:  Alright ladies... Just so much fun, you make me smile as soon as you come out. You're so young and I must say that it's so refreshing to see 17-year-olds that look like 17-year-olds. You're not trying to look like 25-year-olds. I think you're brilliant! I love you. (Big cheers)

Kate Thornton:  Thank you Sharon. Louis?

Louis Walsh:  Girls, I mean, you're only 17. I think you're really good fun but I don't think you're ready for the big time yet. It reminded me of something I'd see in the school hall... 4 young kids playing together. I thought it was kind of amateurish and you definitely need more vocal coaching. (Boos from the audience - the girls smile and shrug it off.)

Kate Thornton:  Thank you Louis. Simon? These girls are your act, what do you think?

Simon Cowell:  I've got to tell you girls I... (Laughs) I had a couple of sleepless nights after I put you through. However, I think you did fantastic tonight. (Cheers) Uhm, like Sharon said, I love your youth, I love your energy. Bearing in mind the last time Louis was in a school was 50 years ago (Laughter, including Louis')

Louis Walsh:  I was at your school play!

Simon Cowell:  (To Louis) Give me a break. (To the girls) I think you did brilliant.

Louis Walsh:  Simon...

Simon Cowell:  I'm glad I put you through girls. (Cheers. Addictiv Ladies wave their arms in the air and give Simon the thumbs-up.)

Louis Walsh:  Simon, come on Simon?

Kate Thornton:  Okay. Thank you very much judges. Thank you judges. (Kate joins the Addictiv Ladies) So ladies, some fine comments from Sharon and Simon... what do you... what do you want to say back to Louis about your 'amateur' performance tonight?

Vivienne:  Ah, thank you for your comment Louis we'll take it on board and next time we'll just do an even better job than we did today. (Vivienne smiles, Louis nods, the audience cheer loudly)

Kate Thornton:  A very mature response from a 17-year-old. Well done. (The girls laugh) Now ladies a nerve wracking experience opening a show like this tonight. First time you've performed in front of a big audience as well isn't it.

Addictiv Ladies: Yeah.

Kate Thornton:  Enjoy it?

Nicola:  Yeah it was fun.

Fleur:  Loving it!

Nicola:  It was great.

Vivienne:  Yeah.

Simon Cowell:  (Shouts over) You were brilliant! (Big cheer)

Kate Thornton:  Ladies and gentlemen let's hear it for the Addictiv Ladies! (More cheers)
