Rebecca Ferguson has been one of the most consistently good performers on The X Factor 2010 but tonight, she stepped the competition up a gear with a truly stunning rendition of Amazing Grace.
Comparisons to former winner and now global superstar, Leona Lewis, were tonight completely valid as Rebecca shone on what has been a night fraught with performance ups and downs.
After blowing the judges away with her dance-diva version of Show Me Love for the Club Classics section of the show, it seemed Rebecca would struggle to top the praise she earlier received, but she did it.
Rebecca took to the stage in a dramatic, floor length, burgundy dress, with a backing choir making the performance all the more haunting.
She delivered a moving, confident performance that saw mentor Cheryl Cole give her a standing ovation.
Louis Walsh gushed: “Rebecca I think you’re my favourite contestant ever because you’re likable and loveable. You so deserve to be in the final cause I think you’re amazing.”
Dannii Minogue agreed saying: “Rebecca I think that was pure class. You’re a girl that we want things to happen to, you really deserve this and I want you to be in the final.”
Simon Cowell simply said: “I think that was stunning from beginning to end. I love you because you haven’t come in with a game. No tricks, just pure sincerity, you are a class act Rebecca.”
When Dermot O’Leary asked Rebecca what it would mean to make it to the final, she said: “It would be like a dream come true really.” After tonight’s performances, it looks like dreams really do come true.
