Sharon Osbourne: (Introduction) All right, the person coming up next, I must tell you, never ceases to amaze me, she just gets better and better every time I see her and she's one hell of a woman... Brenda.
Intro clip... Brenda: It just means the world to me, and to have got this far it means that I've got my chance and I've wanted this chance for the longest time.
Sharon Osbourne: She's at the time in her life now where the dreams that she's had and put aside in life... she can pick up that dream again and run with it. She's got the talent, she's got a lot to give.
Brenda: I'm feeling very excited, very nervous, I can't wait to get on the stage and just show what I can do. I just can't believe it, I'm loving every minute of it.
Brenda sings...
Kate Thornton: Simon, your comments please?
Simon Cowell: Wow! Brenda, I... I wouldn't recognise you, you look amazing! (Big Cheers)
Brenda: (Smiling broadly) Thank you.
Simon Cowell: Amazing. Uhm, you know when we first met you I thought you were taking the whole thing as a bit of a joke. Yeah, I thought it was like a day out to be honest with you. No question or doubt, you're in it to win it. My only reservation is because the audience here love you is "Are you a good club singer or do you have The X Factor?" (Audience voices shout 'X Factor')
Brenda: I... (Audience cheer loudly)
Sharon Osbourne: Excuse me, are you deaf? Are you deaf? Did you not just hear Brenda's voice?
Simon Cowell: No, no, no, I can hear that but I've been to many, many hotels in the past where I've heard singers...
Sharon Osbourne: And you've not seen Brenda there!
Brenda: Exactly.
Sharon Osbourne: Nor are you going to see Brenda there.
Simon Cowell: (Smiling) Well I might do.
Sharon Osbourne: Noooo way!
Brenda: (Laughs)
Kate Thornton: Simon have you finished or is there anything else you'd like to add?
Simon Cowell: Well I can't get a word in edgeways. (Laughter)
Sharon Osbourne: No you can't.
Louis Walsh: (Puts his hand up) Kate, I think Bren is a really good singer. Technically I cannot fault her. (To Brenda) The transformation is absolutely great tonight but there's something missing Brenda, I don't see you selling a million records...
Sharon Osbourne: Hey! Hey!
Louis Walsh: (To boos from the audience) ... I really don't, no Sharon I don't!
Sharon Osbourne: (Looking surprised with Louis) Hey, behave you!
Louis Walsh: I don't. I think she'd be an amazing back-up singer.
Brenda: (Pulls a surprised face, breaks into laughter)
Sharon Osbourne: Ey, ey, ey, ey! Louis what's happened to you?
Louis Walsh: Nothing!
Sharon Osbourne: You've got so ballsy and you're all pushy an'...
Louis Walsh: No, I like her but I don't see her selling a million records.
Kate Thornton: Thank you Louis.
Sharon Osbourne: No!
Kate Thornton: Can we let Sharon...?
Sharon Osbourne: Behave!
Kate Thornton: Sharon, can we have a few words from you?
Sharon Osbourne: Yes, absolutely... and you know what you are not a club singer... okay? (Brenda smiles) If you ever did play clubs they would be 'huge' clubs and people would pay hundreds of pounds to come and see you. (Cheers) ...Let me tell you, to see you progress since the beginning at the auditions... You're a strong woman who's now got confidence... You look amazing, you always sound amazing, and you go girl and you show 'em, okay?
Brenda: Thank you Sharon, thank you.
Kate Thornton: Thank you judges. (Cheers) (Kate walks over to Brenda) All right?
Brenda: Yeah.
Kate Thornton: (Puts her arm around Brenda) So Brenda?
Brenda: Yes.
Kate Thornton: Do you think you've got The X Factor?
Brenda: I think I've definitely got The X Factor.
Kate Thornton: (Turns to the audience) What do our audience think?
Brenda: What do you think? C'mon guys. (Big cheers)
Kate Thornton: Yeah.
Brenda: Yeah!
Kate Thornton: (To Brenda) I think they're... (Drowned by the cheers)
Brenda: Yeah, most definitely.
Kate Thornton: You happy with those comments?
Brenda: Ahm, you know, the judges comments are the judges comments. And I... (To the judges) ...from your last comments in Belfast... I tried to take that on board and I tried to do something about it. I'm going to take your comments on board tonight, and I will do something about it next week, and hopefully everybody will vote for me and you know... pick up your phones vote for Brenda, because she wants to stay on this stage.
Kate Thornton: Thank you very much. Ladies and gents, let's hear it for Brenda! (Brenda gives Kate a hug and exits the stage)
