Both Simon and Rita have said Louisa's rendition of James Bay's Let it Go is their favourite performance of the series, while Simon also said she is "potentially one of the best we have ever had" on the show.
Ché Chesterman

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini said that one of her favourite experiences on the show has been getting to know the "funny as hell" performer and tipped him as a "standout" singer in the competition.
Reggie 'N' Bollie

Guest performers:
The X Factor final guest performers have been announced, and it promises to be an incredible show. Former winner Leona Lewis revealed on Tuesday that she would be singing on Saturday night, promising that her performance will be "a bit of a surprise" as she won't be alone.

On Thursday it was announced after weeks of speculation that Adele will also be taking to the stage during Sunday night's show, while the 2014 winner Ben Haenow has confirmed he will perform his new single Slamming Doors on Saturday night.
He is not the only X Factor champion returning to the show; Little Mix have also revealed that they will be doing a "very special performance" with 2014 finalist Fleur East.
The winner's single:
The choice of this year's song is yet to be officially announced, but it is rumoured to be a cover of Bob Dylan's Forever Young. Simon Cowell has confirmed that 100% of all profits from the single will be donated to children's charities Shooting Star Chase and Together for Short Lives.
The song will be available to download immediately after this year's winner is crowned on Sunday 13 December.
