Sam Callahan was eliminated on The X Factor UK 2013. The 19-year-old, from Great Totham, became the sixth finalist to leave the show after he was placed in the bottom two of the public vote.
Sam, on Saturday live performance sang a version of George Michael’s 1987 hit Faith. But his decision to play guitar as well as sing for his performance came in for criticism.
He said: “I want to stand out in this competition and I’m not going to sit here and play it safe.” Judge Gary Barlow said, “You got the guitar wrong at the beginning and you were out of time. “But you’re trying your best and you’re coming back every week. You’re a little fighter taking all these comments on the chin and I respect you for that.”
Sharon Osbourne said, “You did everything your way and I think you are extremely brave to have done that. “Tonight in your face you look defeated - you’re not defeated and you’re still in this race.”
On Sunday's elimination results show, Sam Callahan and Luke Friend were announced has having polled the fewest votes, placing them both into the sing off.
The two performed their 'save me' song, with Luke singing U2 hit I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking while Sam sung Goo Goo Dolls track Iris.
The judges votes: Louis refuse to vote. Nicole, Gary and Sharon sent home Sam. Sharon Osbourne expressed her disappointment that he left it until he was in the sing-off to connect on stage.
Callahan told host Dermot O'Leary: "I've had the most amazing time and I have absolutely no regrets. As far as I'm concerned this is just the beginning of a massive, massive adventure. Thank you guys for being a part of it."
