Nic - "You're only 16... you keep doing this and nothing will be impossible."     20. 58 The most FABULOUS judge and contestant in the last 10 years? Do You agree?   20.52 Uncle Gary and Rough Copy up next with En Vogue's hit Don't Let Go. Judges' comments Nicole - Said a lot of stuff about chocolate and sprinkles, we think she liked it. Lou Lou - A British Boyz to Men - that's not half bad! Shaz - "I love you, but that song is very whiney." Gaz - "Brilliant job tonight."

Did Rough Copy just call Gary ‘Uncle Gary’? That is insanely cute… #XFactor — Littlewoods Ireland (@LittlewoodsIRL) November 23, 2013

20.25 Another wee break. Stick the kettle on quick! Our friend's over at Littlewoods are loving Nicholas...

Nicholas has set the bar VEEEERY high… or, you could say, he’s Climbed right to the top of the pile! #xfactor — Littlewoods Ireland (@LittlewoodsIRL) November 23, 2013

20.22 Hannah Montana was the  first person to make 'The Climb' a number one hit. Remember her? Neither do we! 20.15 We're back, and first to the stage is the little Scottish crooner, Nicholas McDonald with The Climb. Judges' comments for the BIRTHDAY BOY. Bless, he's only 17. Shaz - Great song choice for Nihjolas' Birthday Gazza - "Go download people your own age... there's an identity issue. Great performance." Nicole - "Exactly what I'd expect to hear on your album." Louis -"The best vocal artist he's worked with throughout the years... We've a Fanboy on our hands!   20.10 Break time. It was nice to see Mr. O' Leary and Mr. Mur's back together again... bromance.   20.04 The judges are out and seated and joining them X Factor crew again for one night, Olly Murs. We're no the only ones that are excited...

Is your heart skip-skip-skipping a beat? @OllyOfficial is the hardest working man in showbiz, folks… #XFactor — The X Factor (@TheXFactor) November 23, 2013

  20.02 And we're live... 19.55 So there we have it, no Shayne Ward, Matt Cardle or Leon Jackson... Remember this guy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOGaX2W9lJk 19.50 - Hello again folks, fancy meeting you here! Just minutes until the X Factor ladies and gents take to the stage, and we’ve got some news for you. Tonight the seventh live show plans to celebrate all things X Factor. Yes, to mark their tenth birthday tonight the six remaining contestants will sing some of the biggest hits from previous X Factor winners. With only six acts remaining a few winners have been snubbed, and of course we all can guess who will be taking on Leona Lewis' famous winning hit. Here is what you can expect from tonight’s singers. The Scherzy Girls  Hannah will be praying for survival with Hallelujah, covered by Alexandra Burke back in FIVE YEARS AGO. Tamera Foster will take on James Arthur's single Impossible, which is the highest selling X Factor single to date. Gazza  and his one remaining Band Rough Copy will sing En Vogue's Don't Let Go, performed in the live shows two years ago by Little Mix. The FABULOUS Mrs O. and the Overs Sam Bailey will take on (and win) Leona Lewis' Bleeding Love - we predict this to be the highlight of the series. Lou Lou and the Boys Mini Buble, Nicholas McDonald will sing Joe McElderry's winning hit The Climb, which was first made famous by Hannah Montana... She was such a lovely girl. Luke Friend will be take on that little known band, One Direction's hit song, What Makes You Beautiful.   Want to win a €100 to spend with Littlewoods Ireland?
