Reggie “N” Bollie, who are mentored by Cheryl Fernandez Versini, sang Locked Away by R City featuring Adam Levine. The BBC reports that the music mogul’s home was reportedly burglarized while Cowell, his girlfriend Lauren Silverman and his one-year-old son were sleeping at home.

Along with duo Reggie “N” Bollie, Lauren Murray and Che Chesterman, Johnson is one of four acts left in the reality TV show competition, which rewards the victor with a lucrative record deal.

But much of the credit for this may go down to her mother Lisa who seems to be an oasis of calm in the middle of these heady times for her daughter.

The boys’ second song totally flipped things on their head though, as they closed the show to a standing ovation after a mash-up of I Gotta Feelin’ and I LikeTo Move It. Even today, it is still the benchmark for other celebrity duets in the final, and it’s safe to say we’ve not seen one as good since.

The teenager’s songs are Would I Lie To You by Charles & Eddie and Amy Winehouse’s Love Is A Losing Game.

The former Girls Aloud star said it “really struck a chord” with her, adding: “Amy would have loved that rendition”.

The X Factor semi-finals are here! As you can see, she is ready now and has the maturity and confidence to perform at the highest level.
