Two Turkish singers are
through to the Judges’ Houses on ITV’s The X Factor. Havva Rebke and Ebru
Gürsoy are through to competition’s penultimate round, where the final 12 acts will
be selected to go head-to-head in the live shows.
Ali Babutsa’s daughter, 21-year-old
Havva made it through to the final six in the Girls category on the 4 October
show. Mentored by pop star Rita Ora, Havva is in arguably the toughest group
with many talented young female singers. While her vocals are not the
strongest, Havva’s unique London

Havva performed towards the
end of the Six-Chair Challenge, by which point all six chairs were already full
of acts seemingly headed into the next round. Havva Rebke did a funky cover of
a classic Backstreet R&B track No Diggity with Nick Grimshaw, Simon Cowell and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini urging Rita to
give her a chair. Havva was duly swapped in, taking the seat of Charli Beard.
The cruel chair-swapping
drama continued last night, when Ebru had to impress her mentor Simon Cowell to
become one of his final six acts in the Over 25s. She was the final singer of
the night, singing Beyoncé's If I Were A Boy. Having sung her heart out, the tears streamed down Ebru’s face as the judges complimented her voice.
He’d been in a mean mood all
night, but mentor Simon Cowell was kinder with his comments to Ebru. He didn’t
like her singing in the first part of her performance, putting it down to her
nerves, but added, “There’s something
about you which is kind of raw and I love that.”
With the audience screaming
“swap, swap, chair, chair” Simon told Ebru, “I’m actually going to give you a chair,” and then ditched Zen
Blythe.

With the dreaded Six-Chair
Challenge over, The X Factor continues this Saturday and Sunday on ITV with the
glamorous setting of Judges’ Houses. Havva heads to LA to Rita Ora’s home,
while Ebru joins Simon Cowell in the South of France. Both singers will compete
against five others in their group for a chance to be in their mentor’s final
three and compete in the live finals of the prime time show.
T-VINE wishes Havva and
Ebru every success.
