Well, after tonight\u2019s performance of \u2018Somewhere\u2019 from West Side Story, the country look incline to agree putting the singers through as the first act to book their place in the live final.<\/p>\n<p>After a performance that showcased yet again their brilliant vocals the judges said:<\/p>\n<p>Simon Cowell: You absolutely blew it away tonight. I love the idea that you are two sandwich shop workers and i think after this you will not be back in the shop. Brilliant choice of song as well!<\/p>\n<p>David Walliams: You made a huge impression at your audition and you\u2019ve made a bigger one tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Holden: Your voices together are spine tingling and you make me feel patriotic and proud to be British. Family in lounges across the UK will be in tears at this moment.<\/p>\n<p>Alesha Dixon: Boys the first time I really liked you but tonight you have gone to another level. It was so powerful and I am so happy for you.
