"Amelia Lily has been voted back into The X Factor by the public.  The 17-year-old was chosen to return over James Michael, Jonjo Kerr and 2 Shoes in tonight&amp;#039;s show. Host Dermot O&amp;#039;Leary revealed that she received 48% of the vote.  All four were axed by their respective mentors Kelly Rowland, Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh and Tulisa Contostavlos in the first week of the live stages, but were given a reprieve following Frankie Cocozza&amp;#039;s ejection on Tuesday (November 8).  When asked by O&amp;#039;Leary how it felt to be back in The X Factor, Lily replied: &amp;quot;Oh God, I&amp;#039;ve been so emotional backstage, I cannot believe I&amp;#039;m back in. Thank you everybody for believing in me.&amp;quot; She went on to describe the 48 hours since the announcement of the return twist as &amp;quot;the most stressful two days of my life, but so worth it&amp;quot;. Amelia sang &amp;#039;The Show Must Go On&amp;#039; by Queen as her comeback performance, which received a hugely positive reaction from the audience and panellists.  &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know what to say, that was an amazing powerful vocal,&amp;quot; Walsh said to her. &amp;quot;Welcome back, I think now you&amp;#039;re going to get to show your proper talent. I want you to go far in the competition.&amp;quot; Contostavlos stated that Lily &amp;quot;deserve[d]&amp;quot; to return, having managed to hold her own against acts who &amp;quot;had weeks to progress and and perfect&amp;quot; themselves.  Barlow, meanwhile, described her performance as &amp;quot;absolutely sensational&amp;quot; and alluded to his own career with Take That by saying: &amp;quot;Let me tell you something from somebody who knows, the great British public love a comeback. Get ready.&amp;quot; Lily&amp;#039;s mentor Rowland concluded the judging by excitedly announcing: &amp;quot;You mean some serious business and I love it! Welcome freakin&amp;#039; back!&amp;quot;  Lily then confessed to O&amp;#039;Leary that she had been &amp;quot;shaking&amp;quot; throughout her comeback performance.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m so happy, I&amp;#039;m so grateful,&amp;quot; she added. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m so happy to be back. It&amp;#039;s just amazing.&amp;quot; The X Factor continues tomorrow (November 13) at 8pm on ITV1.   &amp;gt; X Factor Lady GaGa vs Queen week - Live Blog "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
