Yet it was controversial singer Grace - who had been accused of getting too big for her boots - who will now fly the flag for Sharon.
She belted out her self-penned track Hesitate twice in the 90-minute show, once to secure her spot next week and another to battle for an LA recording session and Louis Walsh's car in a sing off with Simon Cowell's four-piece band, Rak-Su.
In stark contrast to Sharon's fate in the shock double eviction, Overs judge Nicole Scherzinger saw BOTH her singers make it to next week's semi-final stage.
She let out a huge squeal of delight as she wrapped Matt - who Simon Cowell earlier jokingly branded unattractive - into her arms.
