Sharon Osbourne: (Introduction) Ahm, excuse me (Looks at watch) ...but er.. what time is it? I think it's Chico time! (Cheer)
Intro Clip... Chico: I can't wait for tonight, because as far as I'm concerned you haven't seen the best of me yet.
Sharon Osbourne: Chico is a good natural performer. Before he does anything you smile... I don't think there's going to be a great area about him. You are either gonna love him or you're going to hate him. There's no in between.
Chico: The last time Simon saw me he stormed off. (Chico laughs) 99 per cent of the time he's actually right, 1 per cent of the time he's wrong and this 1 per cent, I happen to be it. It's the public vote now, so who cares what Simon says? What time is it? It's Chico time. (Grins)
Chico sings...
Kate Thornton: Okay. (Laughs) Louis?
Louis Walsh: Chico! What can I say? You are so funny, you own that stage. You were born to boogie and I'm glad Sharon put you through. You're a born entertainer, you're not a great singer... it doesn't matter! It doesn't matter. You're a great dancer and you put the fun factor into X Factor.
Chico: Thank you very much. (Cheers)
Kate Thornton: Thank you Louis. Simon?
Simon Cowell: (Smiling) I think you're a nice guy Chico but what the hell was that? (Laughter)
Chico: Simon... (Pats his clip-on mike) ...Can you hear me?
Simon Cowell: It was like being.... It was like being at a Chippendale's concert.
Chico: Simon, let me just tell you this. You wouldn't know a superstar if it hit you in the nose! (Simon smiles) And I'm speaking for the nation!
Simon Cowell: No, Chico, I don't think you are with respect.
Sharon Osbourne: Excuse me, I'm going to come in here Chico. I... Simon, now hold on here. I know you don't like him. Right?
Simon Cowell: Right.
Sharon Osbourne: But, I really think that Chico is a great entertainer, he's a fabulous entertainer... all round entertainer and I think now it's up to the public to decide, not us! (Cheers)
Kate Thornton: Simon, is there anything else you'd like to add? (Simon doesn't get a word in)
Chico: (Performs a few dance acrobatics on the spot) Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Sharon Osbourne: You see he's very shy. He needs nurturing, he needs some confidence.
Kate Thornton: Okay judges...
Chico: (Blows Sharon a kiss) I love you too...(Audience applause)
Kate Thornton: Thank you very much judges. (She laughs and walks over to Chico, centre stage) Now I was going to ask if there's anything you'd like to say back to Simon, but you seem to have covered that Chico! (Laughs) Is this... is this not a case Chico though of... of ... of meeting Simon and wanting to win him over. Are you determined to crack the hard nut that is Cowell?
Chico: I won him over, he just pretending. (Simon smiles warily. Audience laugh loudly)
Kate Thornton: (Recovers composure) Okay. Okay, Chico, tonight 12 people will grace this stage, we're asking everybody to explain why the public should back them and vote for them tonight. So go for it.
Chico: 'Cause I honestly believe that I'm Fun with capital F, Entertaining with capital E and Charismatic with capital C. (Turns and points to the panel) Simon see! Now people pleeeease vote for me. (Cheers)
Kate Thornton: Okay, he rhymes and everything. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Chico! (Chico exits, milking the audience and telling them he loves them!)
