Louis Walsh: (Introduction) Next up we've got a very, very, emotional young lady. She's got a great talent and she's so unsure of herself it's crazy. Sharon nearly put her in last year but she didn't.
Sharon Osbourne: Uhh!
Louis Walsh: But I did this year, because I believe in her. Her name is Chenai.
Simon Cowell: Cheap.
Sharon Osbourne: Cheap shot.
Intro clip... Chenai: When Louis told me that I was in the final 4 I was just shocked, y'know, I were lost for words. I mean, even now it still hasn't sunk in.
Louis Walsh: I'm so glad Chenai has come back this year. She is just... she's ready for it this time and she's got a great, great voice. I'm delighted she's in my category.
Chenai: To get an opportunity like this is... you know, the best thing on earth. It's not every day it comes along and to have worked and waited for it, you know, it's just amazing.
Chenai sings...
Kate Thornton: Sharon?
Sharon Osbourne: Chenai! See, I know how to say your name whereas, ehm... Louis doesn't. 'Chenai'... your mentor hasn't got it right, but Mrs O does! (Chenai grins) Anyway... just a little dig! This has been a long time comng for you I know. And I really do feel that you're ready to be here. You're here and you deserve to be here...
Chenai: Thank you so much.
Sharon Osbourne: ...and well done.
Chenai: Thank you. (Big cheers)
Kate Thornton: Simon, your thoughts on Chenai's performance please.
Simon Cowell: Well the most emotional contestant we've ever had on the show. (Chenai laughs) Ehm, I know how much this means to you, this competition. I am concerned once again that the song is too old for you. Ehm, and I think I would say this to Louis... It's like you've got f... It's like having four birds in a cage. You've got to set them free and make them young Louis, because you're so much better than that. I really hope...
Chenai: I'll show ya... next week.
Simon Cowell: I hope the song isn't going to kick you out the competition.
Louis Walsh: No it won't!
Simon Cowell: I really hope not.
Louis Walsh: Simon that was a hit last year by the way, in case you don't know.
Chenai: Yer... I actually... I love the song.
Simon Cowell: I know. I know, I know the song.
Sharon Osbourne: I know the song, but it does, I think it is an old sounding...
Louis Walsh: No, I disagree, I love the song, I picked the song because it suits her and she sang it with such emotion. (Cheers) We've obviously... (Momentarily drowned out)... You are fantastic! Chenai!
Sharon Osbourne: (Correcting) Chenai.
Louis Walsh: Chenai, I am very, very proud of you. You are... you own that stage, you're fantastic and I'm really proud of you.
Chenai: Thank you. (Laughs, the audience cheer)
Kate Thornton: Thank you judges. (Kate greets Chenai centre stage) Chenai!
Chenai: Okay! (Kate hugs her)
Kate Thornton: You all right?
Chenai: I'm all right now, yeah, yeah.
Kate Thornton: (Checks her cheeks for tears) Just checking.
Chenai: No it's all right. It's all right now.
Kate Thornton: Good.
Chenai: (Laughs)
Kate Thornton: What did you make of those comments?
Chenai: Ehm, y'know, I appreciate that you know that Simon's got his opinion and, you know, like... like everyone said, if they've got the chance to be back next week... and they'll show everybody what they can do, and I will too. So, you know...
Kate Thornton: He wasn't disputing how good you are.
Chenai: I know, but the song, obviously, you know, but...
Kate Thornton: Did you like the song?
Chenai: I liked the song yeah! I really liked it. It's the change from what I would normally do so...
Sharon Osbourne: Tell us what you'd normally do!
Kate Thornton: What would you?
Chenai: What would I? Ah...
Sharon Osbourne: (Pointing to Louis) Tell him...
Chenai: I'd do, Aretha, Whitney...
Louis Walsh: It's my act Sharon. I put her in!
Chenai: ...but so would everybody else. And I think that I'd only be compared and I don't think I'd ever be as good as Aretha or Whitney, so...you know, to... to get another song and turn it into my own song... I'm really glad of that. (Big cheers)
Kate Thornton: Well said!
Chenai: Thank you.
Kate Thornton: Let's hear it for Chenai! (Whispers) Well done.
Chenai: Thank you.
