The nine staying X Factor acts tackled two titans of the pop world when they served up a Michael Jackson v Queen party.
In any case while a few hopefuls had the judges doing the fandango, different exhibitions were, extremely terrifying.
What's more they needed to manage a stage intruder halfway through an execution by eight-piece Stereo Kicks as they handled Jackson's You Are Not Alone.
The tune tackled a strict importance as an informal ninth part went along with them on the stage mid-melody.
The judges gave the male vocalists, who rose up out of a week ago's sing-off, acclaim for managing the "imbecile" and keeping their self-restraint.
Show supremo Simon Cowell said: "These things happen on live TV, however the vital thing is you ricocheted back from a week ago."
Paul Akister opened the show with Queen's 1979 main ten hit Don't Stop Me Now, set to a drum and bass thump.
Cowell said: "You have sung unfathomably well. A week ago you were similar to a particular little piece of something in the Harry Potter films - the Dementors, that suck all the vitality out. In case you're hopeless, we're hopeless. In case you're glad, we're upbeat. Also we're upbeat."
The main of Cowell's demonstrations, Jay James, tackled Queen's The Show Must Go On. What's more the melody had additional power after the Welshman endured a throat damage in preparing.
Louis Walsh was awed. He said: "Perk up, I know you had a truly extreme week yet you lifted yourself up and you've had an okay week. Steady and astonishing."
Anyway previous Spice Girl Mel B was not: "I wasn't feeling it," she said. "I can see you were uncomfortable and worried. I felt you had put yourself under so much weight. Put on some dramatic artistry. You seem as though you're going down the pub."
Despite the fact that it was authoritatively Michael Jackson v Queen week, Lauren Platt's exertion was really a Jackson 5 number.
The main demonstration left in the young ladies class and among the top picks to win the arrangement, the 17-year-old looked emotionless as she conveyed a marginally unbalanced interpretation.
Be that as it may it didn't dissuade the judges. Mel B said: "You performed that tune like you had been performing all your life."
Cowell said: "I thought the track was great, I thought the most recent 20 seconds was phenomenal."
Blended sex amass Only The Young, top picks for the X Factor cleave, handled Jackson's Blame It On The Boogie.
Their vast energy to apparently sing at each conceivable minute was beginning to mesh on the kindred contenders.
At the same time they won recognition from the board. Pop star Cheryl Fernandez-Versini said: "The science between you is so real. You are discovering your specialty."
Cowell included: "Since a week ago and including this week, you are back in the opposition. There is a crevice in the business for you."
Previous rock band artist Ben Haenow at first offered a stripped-back interpretation of Jackson's Man In The Mirror before he was joined by a gospel choir.
Fernandez-Versini said: "It was a gigantic, courageous thing to remained there and sing Man In The Mirror a cappella."
Cowell included: "It takes true guts to sing a moment of that melody with about nothing. I accept this is the minute where we see a star conceivably being conceived."
Stevi Ritchie, the "overs" trump card entrance and previous call focus administrator, again partitioned pundits with his adaptation of the quintessential Queen tune Bohemian Rhapsody.
Cowell, his tutor, portrayed him as a "rock god".
In a marginally underhanded compliment, Walsh said: " I think you're transforming into the David Brent of The X Factor, in a great manner."
On the other hand, Mel B said she had a feeling that she had taken corrosive. Not in a decent manner.
The night's penultimate demonstration Fleur East handled the lesser-known Jackson track Will You Be There, complete with four key changes.
Walsh said the vocalist - beforehand in the opposition with arrangement two demonstration Addictive Ladies - had "star quality".
Mel B included: "You need to stay in this rival, we require you."
Cutting the window ornament down on the show was Andrea Faustini, named the Roman sovereign, who wowed the judges with Queen's Somebody To Love.
Fernandez-Versini said: "T here's never anything short of what 100% with you. Can we discover some individual to cherish you? The entire of Britain cherishes you."
Cowell portrayed Faustini, who came back to Italy to see his family in the week, as "a splendid, splendid vocalist".
