Louis Walsh: (Introduction) Next up we've a young guy from Manchester. I think he's got something different. It's Shayne Ward.
Intro clip... Shayne: As a child growing up I was always around music. In school we put on a talent show. Being on stage it was just the greatest feeling ever, because that's exactly what I wanted to do. (Clips of a young Shayne singing on the school stage) I just felt at home.
Louis Walsh: Raw talent like this doesn't come around very often. But he needs to work a lot harder because the competition is getting tougher.
Shayne: For the first time last week I was so nervous, and it's finally hitting home that someone has to go every week and that person could be me. Simon, he did say that the song that I was singing... I needed a bit of grit in my voice... Which I kind of disagreed. I'm not going to try and put a different sound to my voice, 'cause that's just not me. But I will fight for my position, because that's exactly what I've got to do. I want to win this competition.
Shayne sings...
Kate Thornton: Simon, your comments please?
Simon Cowell: Ah, Shayne it was a lot better than last week. Ahm, but you know I've got to tell you, and this is... you know, I'm gonna give you a compliment... I think you are potentially a great, great artist. I mean seriously good. However, if you put diesel into a Ferrari it doesn't run very well. And I mean that in terms of the songs Louis has chosen for you for the past 2 weeks. Because they're....
Louis Walsh: (Shouts over) Hey! It's not a song contest!
Simon Cowell: Louis! Louis!
Louis Walsh: It's a talent contest!
Simon Cowell: Louis! Louis!
Sharon Osbourne: (To Louis) Oh please behave! Louis!... Calm down.
Simon Cowell: Louis! Louis, you are so prickly, and obnoxious and unpleasant! (Audience cheers, Louis laughs despairingly) You know? I'm trying to help your artist here!
Louis Walsh: No you're not.
Simon Cowell: Shut up!
Louis Walsh: (Yells) It's all about you!! Simon!...
Simon Cowell: All I'm saying is... Shayne... you know outside of a show like this somebody like you... it's like giving 'Angels' to Robbie Williams, the two go together! Plead with idiot face...
Louis Walsh: (Laughs and then gets back at Simon) Hey!
Simon Cowell: ...to go and give you a decent song next week! Louis Walsh: Simon!
Simon Cowell: That's all I'm saying. Plead with him.
Louis Walsh: Mrs Cowell, shut up and listen to me. I did not pick the song. 'We' picked the song, and he's a 20-year-old guy from Manchester, he's singing The Stylistics. Who else can do that?
Sharon Osbourne: But that... but excuse me... .that song was all about...
Louis Walsh: 'We' chose the song.
Sharon Osbourne: ...1973. He wasn't even born!
Louis Walsh: It's a great song!
Simon Cowell: Louis...You're wrong, you're wrong! You're wrong, you're wrong!
Louis Walsh: (Pointing at Simon) No, you're wrong and the public are right.
Simon Cowell: ...You're wrong, you're wrong!
Louis Walsh: You are so wrong.
Sharon Osbourne: Excuse me! Stop now. Stop! Stop!
Kate Thornton: Thanks, Sharon? Let's hear from you?
Sharon Osbourne: It's not all about 'us' remember.
Louis Walsh: I know. Simon thinks it is!
Sharon Osbourne: Hold on.
Kate Thornton: Sharon let's hear from you? Thanks.
Simon Cowell: I beg to differ.
Sharon Osbourne: All right. Shayne, you know I'm one of your biggest campaigners here. You know, I adore your voice. You've got a great look. And to me you're like a young Justin Timberlake, and I would love to hear you sing something more contemporary. It really... you know, you've done it in the past, and I just wanna hear you do contemporary stuff, with contemporary moves. You're a young man, I want to hear you sing like a young man.
Shayne: Okay, yeah.
Kate Thornton: Thank you very much judges! Shayne! (Cheers)
Shayne: (To Sharon) Thank you.
Kate Thornton: What would you like to say to the judges?
Shayne: First, I apologise, last week if I sounded a bit.... on to you...
Simon Cowell: Don't worry about it.
Shayne: ...but...
Simon Cowell: ...it's not a problem.
Shayne: I just thought you was in the wrong, just at that stage, but thank you very much for all this. I mean your compliments only make me better... (Laughs) ...so... I don't know what to say but thank you.
Simon Cowell: Shayne... Shayne, let me tell you something. Two weeks ago you hit the bulls eye.
Shayne: Okay.
Simon Cowell: You've got to hit the bulls eye next week.
Shayne: (Nodding) I will. I will hit the bulls eye.
Louis Walsh: He will.
Sharon Osbourne: Not with your bloody songs!
Louis Walsh: (Thumping the table) He will! He will! He will!
Kate Thornton: Okay! (She puts her arm around Shayne and gives out the voting numbers etc.) ... for now, ladies and gentlemen. It's Shayne! (Shayne gives Kate a kiss on the cheek and exits.)
