Just when Alisah thought it\u2019s over, Sharon called her back on stage due to the audience demand. (Screenshot of an X Factor UK video on YouTube<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

MANILA, Philippines\u2014Filipina singer Alisah Bonaobra\u2019s journey on The X-Factor UK continues.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old singer who sang her rendition of Celine Dion\u2019s All by Myself was originally booted off from her seat in the Six Chair Challenge after Sharon Osbourne replaced her with Grace Davies who performed an original song entitled \u201cDo It Better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharon\u2019s move surprised the audience and judges, even evoking a \u2018facepalm\u2019 from Simon Cowell.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh no, no you can\u2019t do that,\u201d Louis Walsh exclaimed.<\/p>\n

Grace hugged Alisah and apologized for taking her seat. An emotional Alisah walked off the stage while audience cheered in support of her.<\/p>\n

\u201cBring her back! Bring her back!\u201d the audience chanted.<\/p>\n

Just when Alisah thought it\u2019s over, Sharon called her back on stage due to the audience\u2019s demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlright, I\u2019m gonna bring Alisah back but I wanna hear a sing-off with her and Scarlet (Lee) and Rai-Elle (Williams),\u201d Sharon said.<\/p>\n

While Alisah is being fetched from back stage, former Pussycat Dolls lead and X-Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger told Simon, \u201cI will pick Scarlet… Scarlet is good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGirls, I am so sorry to make you all do this, but what do I do when there\u2019s so much talent here and the audience\u2026 I have to listen to the audience, but no matter what, I have two chairs and three girls,\u201d Sharon said. \u201cSo I want you to all do a sing-off for me \u2018cause you\u2019re all so talented. Don\u2019t forget that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scarlet sang Dion\u2019s Power of Love while Rai-Elle perfomed an acapella of Jesus Culture.<\/p>\n

Alisah, on the other hand, perfomed hit pop song Bang Bang, the song Filipino girl group 4th Power performed in their audition for the same talent show in 2015.<\/p>\n

While Alisah\u2019s superb performance made it harder for Sharon to decide, the audience and judges were visibly impressed. Louis, Nicole, and the audience gave Alisah a standing ovation.<\/p>\n

Everyone at the Wembley Arena were at the edge of their seat as Sharon decides who will take the remaining spot in the Six Chair Challenge and advance to the finals.<\/p>\n

Alas, Sharon said: \u201cI hate to do it, but Scarlet, I\u2019m gonna let you go.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Scarlet leaves the stage, a spot opens for Alisah.<\/p>\n

X Factor will continue on Saturday with its remaining Six Chair Challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
