Whilst the public votes Barry Manilow sings live on stage. Raymond and Leona are the first two acts to find out that they have made it through. Kate then announces that Ben is the final act through leaving The MacDonald Brothers eliminated from the competition.
Each X Factor judge is in charge of a different section of singers on the show. The judges do not know what section of the competition they will be in charge of until the audition process has finished. Each judge then has to pick four acts to take forward to the live section of the show. Each week the two acts with the lowest amount of public votes have to sing again in a final showdown after which the judges decide who should be eliminated. Once there are only five acts left remaining it becomes left to the public to decide who should go.
