Simon Cowell: (Introduction) Ehm, very happy to introduce two very talented guys. Without any gimmicks, no choirs, no backing tracks, just two voices. It's Journey South.
Intro clip... Andy: The competition is just noticably gettin' stronger and stronger. You know we want to win and that's what we're here for.
Simon Cowell: For me, they've been in the middle of the pack. But what I want to happen after this week is I want them to become front runners in this competition.
Andy: This week we're gonna be just singing acoustically. You know, Carl's been playing the guitar since like he was 10 year old, and it was Carl that insipred me to actually get into the music. Now we're going right back to our roots.
Simon Cowell: It could be the most incredible performance they've ever done or it could be "Goodbye Journey South".
Andy: Performing acoustically carries a massive risk, but if we want to win this competition then it's a risk we're gonna have to take.

Kate Thornton: Sharon! Your comments please?
Sharon Osbourne: Well guys... I, I like risk takers and you guys took a huge risk tonight coming in here with no backing track, just yourselves. I mean you're very brave and you did... you did really well with a song that is extremely hard to deliver. I mean, it's an all time classic, it's the hardest song to cover and you did... you did well with it, you did.
Andy: Thank you Sharon.
Kate Thornton: Thanks Sharon. Louis?
Louis Walsh: Carl and Andy, you know you've just proved why Simon picked you for this competition. To do that, no gimmicks, no backing track, no nothing... It's such a hard thing to do. You've proved to me that you've got real, real talent.
Andy: Thank you Louis.
Carl: Thank you.
Kate Thornton: Thank you Louis. Simon, you're mentoring Journey South, what would you like to say to the boys?
Simon Cowell: Ah, you know what, it... it was a risk and I would rather somebody left the competition by taking a risk than played it safe, and you know I could see it means a lot to you, particularly you Andy, because it kind of takes you back to where you started from... you know, which is singing in small clubs. But it was a risk that paid off tonight, because if nothing else, you know you proved to the audience at home and the audience here that you're just really, really good singers. (Cheers) And that's what it's all about.
Kate Thornton: Thank you judges. (To Journey South) Great comments guys. What would you like to say back to the judges?
Andy: Just like to say that, you know, we appreciate like all your, all your comments. You know, good or bad. Ahm, obviously it was great this week, so we just want to thank you so much for your comments and your support. You know it really is keeping us going, so thank you.
Sharon Osbourne: It's all right lads! (Smiles. Journey South smile back.)
Kate Thornton: (To Journey South) It was a big risk for you guys tonight. You stripped it right back. Are you pleased you gambled?
Carl: We are so pleased, yeah. I mean, it is totally strippin' the song back and you know it's a hard thing to do and...
Andy: We've been really nervous about this all week...
Kate Thornton: (Nods) Yeah.
Andy: ...and ahm, but you know, hopefully we've pulled it off.
Kate Thornton: Well we'll find out... (Turns to camera and announces the voting numbers etc.) ...for now, ladies and gentlemen, it's Journey South! (Carl and Andy exit the stage)
