On Saturday (01Dec07) the final 4 acts became one step closer to winning this year’s (07) X Factor, after they each sung 2 songs and the judges vote was disabled leaving it up to the public to get rid of an act, and so 5 became 4. So we ended up saying goodbye to ‘Hope’, girl group, who have struggled through out to win the audience over so far, so it didn’t come as a surprise.Hope’s comments from the judges weren’t great after their first song, Spice Girls ‘2 become 1’, the girls needed to really up-their-efforts in the second song if they wanted a chance to stay.Unfortunately the remaining acts seemed to prove to be better than the 5 girls.This isn’t the end however for, ‘Hope’ they are adamant they will stay together as a 5 piece girl group.Sharon Osbourne was also clearly devastated at the groups exit she said she ‘loved’ them.
