Irish X Factor star goes through

IRISH X Factor hopeful Janet Devlin breathed a sigh of relief last night as she made it through another round of the X Factor.

The 17-year-old had been criticised by two of the show’s judges for her stripped down interpretation of the Queen classic Somebody To Love. But the axe instead fell on Kitty Brucknell.

The public vote pitched her against Misha B in the final two and the pair were forced into a sing off. But three of the four judges decided she should go.

Kitty’s father Eric Edwards had been walking around his hometown of Cheltenham with a sandwich board encouraging people to vote for the 26-year-old.

But his efforts did not pay off and she was pitched against Mancunian Misha B — a show favourite.

Kitty sang Over The Rainbow — so often thought of as a goodbye song — and it proved the end as Misha won the judges over with Jessie J’s Who You Are.

Louis Walsh said both girls “absolutely killed it” and picked Misha B to go home.

Fellow judges Tulisa Contostavlos and Kelly Rowland praised the women’s performances but both sent Kitty home.

Take That star Gary Barlow had the final say.

He said of all the other five acts that had gone through the two slugging it out for survival “want it the most”.

But he agreed Kitty had reached the end of the road.

Tonight’s X Factor’s special guest appearance came from 100 million record selling Lady Gaga.

The diva emerged from a mausoleum dressed as a decapitated corpse — carrying her own head, to perform her song Marry The Night.
