Sharon Osbourne: (Introduction) Now we go to the only solo female artist left in the contest. Brenda.
Intro clip... Sharon Osbourne: I think that the pressure of being the only female soloist left in the contest is huge on her.
Brenda: I know I've got to bring it each week now. It's really down to tooth and nail.
We see a shot of Brenda dabbing tears. Sharon Osbourne: Brenda is down from last week's comment by the judges
Flashback to Simon telling Brenda "I'm still not sure whether you are a recording artist." Sharon Osbourne: There's no rules to say she hasn't got a recording voice. Who says? Simon says?
Brenda: (Crying) In my first audition Simon said I wasn't sexy and I tried to do something about it... (Shot of Brenda working out) ...to fit in to what society see as a successful recording artist... I'm just working really hard for this.
Sharon Osbourne: This is one dream she is not gonna give up on.
Brenda: I'm gonna show Simon I am a recording artist and you should never judge a book by the cover.
Brenda sings...
Kate Thornton: Louis, your your comments please?
Louis Walsh: Brenda... Brenda, Brenda... this man owes you an apology. Simon, how could you say she's not sexy?
Simon Cowell: Brenda, Brenda when did I say you weren't sexy?
Brenda: At Belfast.
Simon Cowell: What did I say to you?
Brenda: You said you don't look very sexy.
Louis Walsh: (Tapping his pen on the table) Well Simon you were wrong...
Brenda: (To Simon) You did.
Louis Walsh: ...Absolutely wrong!
Simon Cowell: Hang on, hang on... Okay, well if I said it,
Louis Walsh: That's not fair. Brenda! ... Brenda...
Simon Cowell: .... If I said it then I take it back and I apologise. (Brenda grins broadly. Audience cheer loudly)
Louis Walsh: Good, good, good. Brenda! ... Brenda that was an amazing performance tonight. I think it's one of the best performances so far on this series. Can I also say there's two people in the whole world that I will not throw a glass of water over... One is Cher and the other is Sharon Osbourne. (Some audience laugher. Sharon laughs. Simon looks over at Louis, puzzled)
Kate Thornton: Thanks Louis. Simon?
Simon Cowell: I don't get that? Anyway... (Audience laugh) ...I don't understand what he just said... but let's...
Sharon Osbourne: (Explains. Looks toward Louis proudly) Because we're both divas!
Louis Walsh: (Laughing) Yes.
Simon Cowell: But let's put things into perspective Brenda. If you'd have known a year ago that you were going to be singing in front of me you'd be happy, right?.
Louis Walsh: Yeah, but Simon, Brenda deserves a recording deal, she absolutely does...
Simon Cowell: No, no... but what I'm saying is it was just an opinion. (Laughing tone) The VT clip was like Gwyneth Paltrow's Oscar acceptance speech. (Brenda bites her lip) The tears... I mean you know 'enjoy yourself'! It was an opinion! You know, the public...
Louis Walsh: ...she wants it so bad.
Simon Cowell: ...if they like you...
Kate Thornton: Simon did you like the performance?
Simon Cowell: Loved it!
Kate Thornton: Thank you very much. (Cheers) Sharon? What did you think?
Sharon Osbourne: Hey! Brenda knows what I think, she's an amazing woman and just so much respect to you. Love you.
Brenda: Thank you Sharon. Kate Thornton: Thanks Sharon. (Turns to Brenda) Brenda what would you like to say back to those comments?
Brenda: Ahm, thank you once again to the judges for your comments. I really value your opinion Simon. Thank you so much.
Simon Cowell: Thank you very much
Brenda: Very nice to hear that from you.
Simon Cowell: You sexy little thing!
Brenda: Ahm... (Breaks into a laugh) ...I do try to come up here and have fun every single week. I'm having such a great time. You know, as much as I might miss my children if I can get the chance to come back and go with it ehm... so that I can get to the final... my kids will be coming all the way with me, so...
Simon Cowell: Brenda. Just keep fluttering those eyelashes.
Louis Walsh: (Agreeing) Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kate Thornton: Thank you Simon. Okay, does Brenda get your vote tonight? (Kate gives out the voting numbers etc, Brenda does a mime for the viewers) (To Brenda) Are you flirting?
Brenda: No! (Laughs)
Kate Thornton: (Laughing) Ladies and gentlemen, she gave us some great disco, it's Brenda! (Cheers, Brenda hugs Kate and exits waving)
