Introductions...Kate Thornton: It's time to hear from the 16 to 24s, so Simon, over to you...
Simon Cowell: Well, there's only one girl left in the competition and it's Leona.
Intro clip...Leona: Last week it was definitely really fun doing an uptempo song.
Leona: (Flashback to last week) ¯ Voulez-vous chantez avec moi... ¯
Sharon Osbourne: (Flashback) Bravo, Leona. Another... 'nother faultless performance. Amazing young girl, you are...
Simon Cowell: Week on week, no matter how good the comments are, she's still not aware how good a singer she really is. And I find that astonishing. Totally astonishing.
Sharon Osbourne: Leona has a truly spectacular voice. But does she have the X Factor? We'll just have to see.
Leona: We're approaching the semifinals now, and I never thought that I'd be here and every single day I'm just like "thank you so much!"
Simon Cowell: This is normally the time when they start to change, the contestants. You start to see the slightly different side to them. I haven't seen that with Leona.
Leona: At the end of the day I'm just an East End girl and I've been blessed enough to be on this incredible journey.
Barry Manilow: (To Leona at rehearsals) Beautiful, talented Leona. How are you?
Leona: I'm fine. (She greets Barry with a kiss)
Leona: (To camera) It was an honour to meet Barry Manilow. He is a true inspiration.
Leona: (In rehearsals) ...¯ ...of all of you... ¯ Baby, I want you... ¯ Now! ... ¯...
Barry Manilow: (To camera) I thought Leona was just wonderful and I was very thrilled to hear her sing "Could It Be Magic" so beautifully.
Barry Manilow: (To Leona in rehearsals) I have nothing to say, except thank you for making my song sound so beautiful.
Leona: Oh thank you! (They hug)
Leona: (To camera) I asked him, you know, how I could connect more with the audience, and he gave me some really amazing advice.
Barry Manilow: (To Leona in rehearsals) For me it's all about feeling, it's all about making the audience feel something. Make them love you and then break their hearts. (They both laugh)
Leona: Thank you.
Barry: Okay.
Back live...Kate Thornton: Ladies and gentlemen, Leona.
(Cheering and Applause)
Leona sings...
¯ Spirit move me ¯ Every time I'm near you ¯ Whirling like a cyclone in my mind ¯ You're my lifeline ¯ Angel of my lifetime ¯ Answer to all answers I can find ¯ Baby I love you ¯ Come ¯ Come ¯ Come into my arms ¯ Let me know the wonder ¯ Of all of you ¯ Baby take me ¯ High upon a hillside ¯ High up where the stallion meets the sun ¯ I could love you ¯ Oo-ooh ¯ Build my world around you ¯ And never leave you ¯ Till my life is done ¯ Baby I love you ¯ Come ¯ Come ¯ Come into my arms ¯ Let me know the wonder ¯ 0f all of you ¯ All of you ¯ Baby I love you ¯ Now ¯ Now ¯ Oh, now and hold on fast ¯ Could this be the magic at last ¯ Could it be magic ¯ Come ¯ Come ¯ Come into my arms ¯ Let me feel the wonder ¯ 0f all of you ¯ Baby I love you ¯ Now ¯ Now ¯ Oh, now and hold on fast ¯ Could this be the magic at last ¯ Could it be magic, now ¯
(Cheering and Applause)Louis Walsh: (Shouting over the continued applause) Leona... great song. Leona, I'm trying... I'm trying to find something negative to say about ya.
