Rough Copy returned to the X Factor stage tonight as a threesome once again. Last week viewers tuned in to see the boys performing in judges houses, but due to visa issues Kazeem Ajobe was not in the lineup.

Gary Barlow not only awarded the band a place in his final three, but upon his return to London he paid a visit to the Kaz’s home and told him he could rejoin his bandmates for the live rounds.
Tonight the trio reformed for the 80′s themed episode and performed for the judges and millions of viewers at home, and though the theme seemed to suit them less than any other act on the show when we first heard about it, it’s fair to say that the act did put their own spin on the classic track ‘In The Air Tonight.’
The lads closed the show, which was already a sign that they would knock it out of the park. They didn’t disappoint either and from the first line the vocals were spot on, the staging was amazing and the vibe was so eery.
Kaz’s sections in particular were brilliant and we can see why Gaz was so keen to have him back in the lineup. It was the perfect song for the band too. Well done Mr Barlow.

JUDGES COMMENTS:

LOUIS WALSH: That was the surprise of the night for me. There is nothing rough, you are smooth and soulful and slick. I loved the staging, the image…it was just perfect.
GARY BARLOW: Well done, I have been here for three years and I’m so glad for my last year on the show I get to mentor you guys. Listen you are amazing, you are sensational. I love your courage, your charisma. For me, it’s everything I want in a group, so well done boys.
