Cher gave an emotional performance of Britney Spears \u2018Everytime\u2019 that impressed the judges enough to see her through to the finals.<\/p>\n<p>It was surprising to see a sing off at the semi finals stage of the competition. It has never happened before, usually the act that polled the lowest public vote is sent home at this stage. The sudden \u00a0change as led many people to question whether or not it was bought about to ensure that the judges got the final line up that they wish to see rather than what the public would like to see.<\/p>\n<p>From our point of view, we think Cher deserves to be in the finals not because of her singing \u2013 Mary is a much better singer \u2013 but with Cher you are guaranteed to get a performance that we feel ads a bit of spectacle to the show.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday night, Cher performed \u2018Nothin On You\u2019\u00a0 by B.o.B and \u2018Love The Way You Lie\u2019 by Eminem and Rihanna. This is what the judges had to say about her performances:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nothin\u2019 On You:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>LOUIS WALSH:<\/strong> Cher you\u2019ve come a really long way in the competitive., I love the song choice, loved that staging and loved your styling. It was a great choice, I can\u2019t see anything wrong with it at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DANNII MINOGUE:<\/strong> Cher at this point in time it\u2019s been the most incredible journey for you. I have given you my honest judgement, I don\u2019t think you\u2019ve hit the mark every time but you are so watchable there\u2019s something about you. That song for me, I\u2019m not sure showed the best of your vocals because you know that I always say you can sing very well but you\u2019re a great performer and that it did show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CHERYL COLE:<\/strong> There is a lot of confusion about you out there because your performance has a lot of attitude. It is stage presence but backstage you are a 17 year old girl with a dream and fears like everybody else. I know that you\u2019re scared and tonight means a lot to you but I would love to see you in that final.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SIMON COWELL:<\/strong> I\u2019ve got to say that ever since the disaster of Beatles week you have come back really strong. What I admire about you is that you are fearless. You\u2019ve had some stick this week, I\u2019m always going to stand up for you as a person because you\u2019ve been fantastic to work with and what I am hoping Cher is, after everything you\u2019ve gone through, I think if you didn\u2019t make the final after everything that you\u2019ve done it would be a travesty.<br \/>\n<object width=\"580\" height=\"390\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/iNKq_mgalpo&#038;hl=en_GB&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;version=3\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><\/object><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* largexfactor 336x280, created 11\/25\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"7071761240\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 336;\ngoogle_ad_height = 280;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Love The Way You Lie:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>LOUIS WALSH:<\/strong> A really clever song choice, you sang really well and if we\u2019re looking for a new contemporary pop star it has to be you. I loved everything about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DANNII MINOGUE:<\/strong> It was such a tricky song choice tonight. The rapping was great and with the singing you hit your stride at the end of the song. I would have liked to hear you sing a ballad to get you through to the final.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CHERYL COLE:<\/strong> We\u2019re not competing it was about showing what kind of an artist you\u2019re going to be I just hope to God that people see what I see.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SIMON COWELL:<\/strong> It was a risk taking on Eminem and Rihanna but for me it worked. Again, I don\u2019t think that you\u2019ve sold out. You\u2019ve stuck to the type of music that you believe in and are passionate about. There weren\u2019t really any gimmicks, other than the fire and I liked the fact that it was you, raw, doing what you do best.
