Last night marked the first live show of the third season of The X Factor Malta and tensions were extremely high as two acts were eliminated and the final ten were left standing on the stage.
The live shows are the final phase of the competition, which kicked off on 3rd October 2021, starting with the pre-auditions and judges’ auditions, followed by boot camp, the six chair challenge and finally, judges’ houses.
Filmed at the Malta Fairs & Conventions Centre (MFCC) in Attard, the 12 contestants faced a live audience, as well as the four judges of the competition, Ira Losco, Howard Keith Debono, Philippa Naudi and Ivan Grech, and fought tooth and nail for a spot in next week’s live show.
Starting with the Boys category, then Girls, Overs and Groups, here are the final 10 X Factor finalists:
Aidan Drakard
The 18-year-old got the crowd moving last night, as he performed a cover of Shawn Mendes’ Mercy.
Ryan Hili
The ever-inspiring Ryan Hili opened the show last night as he effortlessly performed James Arthur’s song, Impossible.
Kevin Paul
The third boy who is through to the next live show, Kevin Paul bravely opted to perform an original called Hurt.
Timea Farr
Timea Farr performed Control by Zoe Wees and everyone in the stands, as well as at home, was emotional. We can guarantee it.
Aidan Drakard
At just 15 years old, Lisa Gauci got a standing ovation for her performance last night. She sang Run by Leona Lewis.
