Simon Cowell: (Introduction) Well this is going to be a difficult one to follow isn't it. (He's referring to Chico - Audience laugh) Now I'm going to reintroduce the singers back into this competition. (Oooohs and a few boos from the audience) Very happy to introduce to you... Journey South. (Cheers)
Intro clip... Andy: (With Carl) Obviously we're brothers and ehm, we've been performing a long time together and we're best mates. It's everything to us... it's a release of energy... it's just a buzz, you know like getting on the stage I think you can see from our performances that, y'know it gets us right here.
Simon Cowell: When I see them perform... you can see it in their eyes, this real hunger and this desire to do well. Your heart goes out them. I promise you this, two of the best singers I've ever met.
Andy: We've wanted this, for 10 years we've been trying. It's just gonna be tense and, y'know, the pressure's on.
Journey South sing...
Kate Thornton: Louis, your comments please?
Louis Walsh: Carl and Andy you're absolutely great. That was a great performance. I've liked you from day one. You picked a great song, you've got a good image, you've got the whole package. I think you're going to go a long, long way. (Big cheers)
Andy: Thank you very much.
Kate Thornton: Thanks Louis. Sharon?
Sharon Osbourne: Yeah, I... You're very genuine and I like that about you. You... you don't pretend to be anything you're not and you've got... you're vulnerable too. I really like you guys...
Carl: Thank you very much.
Sharon Osbourne: ...good luck in this contest. (Cheers)
Kate Thornton: Thank you. Simon, you're mentoring Journey South, what did you think?
Simon Cowell: I mean like Louis said, we liked these guys from day one. Ehm, what I love about Carl and Andy is... is... is that they have earnt the right to be here; they've been gigging up and down clubs for 10 years, they've come on this show without any chips on their shoulders, they love to entertain an audience, they have a great chemistry, they are fantastic singers! (Cheers) ... Ehm, it's what it's all about.
Kate Thornton: And for once your colleagues aren't disagreeing Simon. Judges thank you very much.
Simon Cowell: Thank you.
Kate Thornton: (Joins Journey South centre stage) So... so boys (Grins) ... What do you say back to that?
Andy: That was amazing. (Turns to the judges) Just, thank you very much for your comments...
Carl: (Nods) Yeah.
Andy: ...Just means the world to us you know.
Carl: Couldn't have asked...
Andy: Just wanna do this every week. Week in, week out. (Cheers)
Kate Thornton: Because boys, as Simon said there, you boys have been schleppin' around for 10 years trying to make it. You lived in a caravan for how many years?
Andy: We lived... well we lived in a caravan for 6 months... which was enough!
Kate Thornton: 6 months?
Andy: That was enough.
Kate Thornton: 6 months is enough in a caravan! ...In an attempt to make it onto a stage like this and play to an audience like this. So how was that, after all these years?
Andy: Just a dream. It's a dream come true. You know, this is just electric. It's brilliant.
Carl: Amazing.
Andy: Thank you everybody.
Carl: Thank you.
Andy: Thank you so much. (Cheers)
Kate Thornton: Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for Journey South! (The boys leave) ... So happy they skipped off that stage there!
