It's time for The X Factor live finals, and Organ Grinder will be here to live blog the first live show on Saturday night.
To whet your appetite, we have assembled a photo gallery of the 12 finalists and pose a crucial question - which judge is going to coach the winning act?
As has been said often, The X Factor is as much about the judges as it is about the contestants, so we should be in for a treat this weekend as the competitive instincts of the four take over. Vote in our poll on which judge will win: Louis has the groups; Cheryl has the girls; Simon has the boys; and Dannii has the over 25s.
Here's what music blogger Helienne Lindvall made of the final 12.
On Saturday night X Factor fanatic Carrie Dunn will be here to guide you through what is bound to be a very nervous live final from 7.15pm and again at 10pm.
Who do you think will be the first to be voted off? And what about the theme nights - it seems we won't be seeing the likes of last year's Motown extravaganza this time around, but which theme nights would you like to see in the coming weeks? Abba? Power ballads? Emo?
