Hello and welcome to heat's Big Night In with Lambrini - and here we're talking all things X Factor Week 3!

Tonight's theme is Movies Week - click here to see what all of acts will be singing tonight.

First up, here are the judges. All of them look ruddy lovely, don't they?

Simon, Cheryl, Mel and Louis scrub up well, don't they?

Jake Quickenden - She's Like The Wind (from Dirty Dancing)

 

Judges' comments:

Louis Walsh: "You're a really really nice guy, you look great... but you can't hit those high notes."

"He did!" says Mel B.

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini: "You should've put more of your sexuality into that."

Simon Cowell: "We've got rid of the pretty useless ones, but you could have been more dynamic. I'm disappointed for you."

Only The Young - Boom Clap (from The Fault In Our Stars)

The four-piece said they were worried they hadn't had enough time to practise, having only changed their minds about their song choice yesterday, but during the middle of their set Louis mouths that he "loves this song!".

Only The Young

Judges' comments:

Mel: "I do actually really, really like that song. Louis did you choose that or did someone else?"

Cheryl: "It was really refreshing to hear a current song - you're so much better when you're not contrived."

Simon: "The lead vocals were out of tune. You need a song more than 24 hours before you sing it."

Jay James - Skyfall (from James Bond Skyfall)

 

Judges' comments:

Cheryl: "The production saved you tonight. It was just missing some performace - you needed to be more James Bond, more suaveness."

Simon: "It's a singing competition, darling, not an acting one."

Cheryl: "Don't you dare criticise me." OMG! Look at this stand-off between the judges:

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Mel: "I don't like that song but you made me love it."

Andrea Faustini - Listen (from Dreamgirls)

Andrea singing Beyonce

Simon: "When I feel like eating five doughnuts, with you I feel I've eaten six. In agood way."

Ooh look, it's Marvin and Rochelle Humes!

The Humeses pop in for a chat

Lola Saunders -When You Believe (from The Prince Of Egypt)

Lola's had a makeover!

And how much does she look like Jennifer Lopez?

Judges' comments:

Louis: "The only person who doesn't know you're an amazing singer is you - you lack confidence."

Mel: "That was stunning, you look stunning, you sounded stunning and you really have to start believing in yourself."

Simon: "Cheryl can I say something?"

Cheryl: "I respect my elders, go ahead."

Ouch!

Quick break while we have a ganders at what heat's ever-so talented Dan has just mocked up...

 

Paul Akister -Try A Little Tenderness (from The Commitments)

 

Judges' comments:

Louis: "So much swag tonight - I think you're going far in the competition, and I think Mel is doing a great job with you."

Cheryl: "THE most sexy performance you've done to date!"

Simon: "I stand by what I said last week - I did think you were a bit boring. However, this is a massive transforamtion, I got excited about you, and you were confident."

Mel: "You turned into my little white Jay Z!"

Er... really, Mel? Over to heat's Dan again...

 

Uh-huh.

Lauren Platt - Let It Go (from Frozen)

Lauren

Judges' comments:

Mel: "Absolutely no doubt that you're a really good singer, but you could've taken more chances - you played it safe. But you did kick it up a gear and I appreciated that."

Simon: "You're a really cool girl and it was the perfect song choice."

Cheryl: "You're an absolute pleasure to work with and that was the standout performance of the week."

Jack Walton - Eye Of The Tiger (from Rocky)

Jack

Judges' comments:

Cheryl: "I really really like you Jack, but you need to use the stage more."

Simon: "As a recording artist I think you could be really good, but it was like you were invited to a party but didn't want to be there."

Mel: "There were last-minute changes made.... but not by me.

Oh dear, Mel's not too happy. Let's have a close-up of her pissed off face:

 

Fleur East - Lady Marmalade (from Moulin Rouge)

Fleur East

Judges' comments:

Mel: "I loved it, absolutely loved it."

Simon: "You are the most improved contestant we've seen on the show so far, because I'm looking at you like a proper recording artist."

Stevi Ritchie - Footloose (from Footloose)

Our Big Night In guest Lauren Goodger reckons Stevi still looks like a gummi bear. Meanwhile, here's Louis Tomlinson off of One Direction just chilling with ex-mentor Simon at Stevi's dress rehearsal:

GAH!

Weird, right? Anyway, here's Stevi's big moment:

Stevi

Louis: "Stevi... it's time to go home."

Mel: "You really have a good time up there don't you. But that's it."

Stevi: "You can come up and dance with me and I'll put a smile on your face!"

Cheryl: "But you sometimes look like you're having more fun than anyone else..."

Simon: "We've become friends haven't we, and I really like you."

Stereo Kicks - Let It Be/Hey Jude (Across The Universe)

Stereo Kicks

Well he's enjoying himself:

 

Mel: "You're doing exactly what I wanted of you - and I could hear every one of your voices."

Cheryl: "James your voice is really beautiful."

Simon: "You made the best decision of your life this week, whch was not to listen to Louis. What you did last week as a mentor, Louis, was utterly disgraceful. Boys, any time you want to leave Louis, you come over to me.

"It is out of order to say you're going to lose two members, Louis."

Sheesh.

Ben Haenow - I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing (from Armageddon)

 

Simon: "That was the wrong song for you."
