"Janet Devlin has become the next act to leave The X Factor.  The 17-year-old was eliminated from the ITV contest after falling into the bottom two of the public vote with Misha B.  Devlin performed a cover of &amp;#039;Chasing Cars&amp;#039; by Snow Patrol in the sing-off, but judges gave their backing to Misha B&amp;#039;s rendition of &amp;#039;Out Here on My Own&amp;#039; from the Fame musical instead.  Louis Walsh was first to vote and explained to host Dermot O&amp;#039;Leary that he would &amp;quot;pick the person that is going to give the most to the competition and wants this the most&amp;quot;, who he then identified as Misha B. Tulisa Contostavlos also chose to save Misha B due to her having more &amp;quot;potential&amp;quot; outside of the show. Next up was a visibly-emotional Kelly Rowland, who struggled to choose between her two acts.   &amp;quot;I know how great these two young ladies are,&amp;quot; she started. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve watched them grow over the weeks and I&amp;#039;ve seen how hard they work.  &amp;quot;Janet, I know how bad you want it and I admire you as a musician. [You&amp;#039;re] showing what you&amp;#039;re made of and the reason why you are here now... I absolutely love you and adore you and think you are so incredible as an artist.&amp;quot; After accepting that Misha B wanted to stay in The X Factor &amp;quot;so bad&amp;quot;, Rowland was informed that she needed to make a decision soon or abstain from the vote, which would send Devlin home with the majority.  &amp;quot;I really can&amp;#039;t make a decision,&amp;quot; she finally said. &amp;quot;I love these girls, I don&amp;#039;t know what to do. I can&amp;#039;t [vote], I have to pass it, I&amp;#039;m sorry.&amp;quot; O&amp;#039;Leary confirmed that Rowland&amp;#039;s refusal to vote, which received boos from the studio audience, had sealed Devlin&amp;#039;s fate. Gary Barlow also confirmed that he would have sent Devlin home.   Speaking after the result, Devlin said that she was &amp;quot;obviously very confused&amp;quot; by how tonight&amp;#039;s judges&amp;#039; vote had played out, adding: &amp;quot;I just can&amp;#039;t wait to get out of the show and start getting my music out and start working on it. It&amp;#039;s exciting.&amp;quot; Despite failing to save her, Rowland was still full of praise for the &amp;quot;amazing&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;beautiful&amp;quot; young singer.  &amp;quot;Janet Devlin&amp;#039;s audition goes down in history as one of the most life-stopping, amazing performances,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;She froze everything in time when she had her first audition... Janet will be a recording star. She has a unique voice and such a beautiful gift.&amp;quot;  Digital Spy users correctly predicted that Devlin and Misha B would finish in the bottom two in our exclusive poll.  The X Factor semi-final airs on Saturday, December 3 at 8pm on ITV1.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
