X FACTOR UK 2017 : ALISAH BONAOBRA ALMOST GOT ELIMINATED IN WALL OF SONG ROUND, BOUNCED BACK IN SOLO ROUND

Filipino contestant and The Voice of the Philippines alumni Alisah Bonaobra almost got eliminated in the wall of song round of the boot camp of X Factor UK.

In boot camp this year, the first round is the wall of songs where contestants gets a song that they like to sing in a wall full of songs. After which they need to find 3 more contestants that with the same song and they will perform as a group.

Alisah ended up with another Filipina Gaga Lord, Natalie and Rai-elle Williams singing a Mariah Carey classic We Belong Together. After they performed, the judges decided that only one - Rai-elle will advance. Alisah just won't accept no, begged for a second chance and sang a part of the song again, convincing the judges to give her a second chance. Here is the video from the show's YouTube channel :


With that, Alisah moves on to the solo rounds and Gaga Lord's journey ends. It is also reported that boy group  JBK also survived the round though I can't find their performance video. Elysa V. also advances and is included in this group who sang Bruno Mars' Locked Out of Heaven:


In the solo round where they need to perform in front of a live audience, Alisa has to prove that she deserves her spot, performing Defying Gravity - she did just that:


Judges unanimously voted that she indeed deserved her spot and she advances to the 6 Chair sing off round next week.

I am still looking for reports on how Elysa V. and JBK fare in the solo rounds. I really hope they too advance to the 6 chair challenge.
