Judge's Choice:
Sharon: All I have to say is Voices of Glory, you know I have a soft spot for you. They are nearly there. They've contributed so much to this show. Fab Five are all beautiful women, great dancers. I can't choose. David: (to the acts) Don't look at me like that... and don't look at me like that. You're so young... And you are so right for this competition... I can't... Piers: We were in three minutes of discussion during the break. We either send them both through, or we send them both home. We've decided that there will be no judge's pick. We're gonna throw out the rules. We're gonna send you both through. (Interesting. Wonder if they'll do that next week, too? ;-) )

That's it for this week. See you next week.
