Last week when Dermot said Marcus was through to the semi finals, we jumped with joy! We believed the semi finals would be missing something without him there. And tonight when we saw the songs he his going to sing, we were ecstatic, because these are the type of feel good numbers that got him this far in the contest.

Tonight Marcus and his mentor chose two classic tracks that most people will recognise: Can You Feel It by the Jackson 5 and My Girl by The Temptations.

His performance of My Girl tonight was sensational for such an old song. He looked great in that jacket and delivered a very stylish performance. Loved it!
