Saturday’s ninth live X Factor final saw another shock exit as Diana Vickers lost out in the public vote, leaving JLS, Eoghan Quigg, and Alexandra Burke to battle it out in the final.

The theme of the show was Judges Choice, meaning that the singing stars had to put their trust in their mentors, all except Dannii Minogue, who has no acts left in the competition following Ruth Lorenzo’s departure last week.

The contestants performed two songs each, and after the first round Simon Cowell admitted that the competition was tight. It was always going to be a tough night for the final four contestants, but everyone seemed to up their game, and all four judges were often unanimous in praise.

However someone had to leave, and this week it was quirky 17-year-old Diana Vickers – her original style had bewitched the judges and audiences alike, even though problems with laryngitis caused her to miss the Mariah Carey themed show earlier in the competition.

One person in particular was especially sad to see Diana leave, and that was 16-year-old fellow contestant Eoghan, who cried uncontrollably upon hearing the public vote results – an X Factor final just can’t go by without emotions running high and tears flowing.
