Blonde Electra and Overload Generation were given the boot from ‘The X Factor’ tonight (12.10.14).
The funky duo and the five-piece boyband have been kicked out of ITV competition in a shock double-eviction after receiving the lowest number of public votes following their first live performances last night.
Blonde Electra were the first to be given the axe from the show, before Overload Generation took to the stage to fight for their place in the programme in a sing-off against Stephanie Nala.
Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole, who mentors the brunette beauty, opted to save Stephanie but Louis Walsh, who mentored the group, and Mel B believed Overload Generation performed better in the sing-off.
However, it was taken to deadlock following the judges’ tie, which meant Overload Generation, who received the lowest number of votes, were given the axe.
Although Louis was clearly disappointed to lose the boys, he had nothing but encouragement for the band and told them to continue to work as a group.
He said: "I want them [Overload Generation] to stay together and become a big band."
Despite losing two acts from his category in the first live show, Louis still has Stereo Kicks and Only the Young fighting to succeed in the competition.
Meanwhile, the results show also featured live performances from Pharrell Williams and Taylor Swift.
