Britain's Got Talent concluded a week of semi-finals with a spectacular show, which saw Mr Mean himself, Simon Cowell, reduced to tears by Attraction's closing performance.
Nine acts took to the stage in hope of securing a place in next Saturday's (June 8) final, but only two managed to secure those coveted spots.
Attraction and Jordan O'Keefe were put through to the final via the public vote.
Ventriloquist Steve Hewlett went down a storm as he unveiled a special Cowell dummy as part of his performance, while classical singer Aliki Chrysochou performed a stunning rendition of 'Come What May'.

Simon Cowell has taken a swipe at Katherine Jenkins during the last Britain's Got Talent semi-final tonight (June 1).
The music mogul made a comment about a "dip" in Jenkins's career following Aliki Chrysochou's performance on the show.
Chrysochou won universal praise from the Got Talent judges with her performance of 'Come What May' from Moulin Rouge, and it led Cowell to make a comparison with the Welsh classical star.
He said: "I was not expecting that from you tonight, you are stunning, beautiful, humble. What's interesting is, with Katherine Jenkins taking a big dip at the moment, maybe your time has come."
Jenkins announced on Thursday (May 30) that she has left Warner Music. She told fans that she currently "sworn to secrecy" about where she is going to next.
Press reports suggested that Jenkins's departure from Warner was as a result of her losing the label an estimated seven-figure sum.

Hello Britain's Got Talent fans! It's hard to believe that the last of the semi-finals is already upon us. Will tonight's live show manage to top what we have seen so far this week? It has a hard task on its hands, as Got Talent has served up a brilliant mix of the wacky and wonderful over the course of the last five days.
There are just three spots left in next Saturday's (June 8) final, and tonight nine more acts take to the stage to try and impress the judges and most importantly the Great British public. As usual, the act with the most amount of votes will automatically secure themselves a spot in the final, and they will be joined by the winner of the judges' vote. However, in a sneaky twist, one of this week's third-placed acts will get the chance to return as a 'wildcard'.

A man has put a £10,000 bet on Jack Carroll winning the final of Britain's Got Talent.
The Isle of Wight resident placed the money on the 14-year-old comedian with odds of 9/2.
Ladbrokes has since cut Carroll's price to 3/1, making him the second favourite to win after Attraction at 5/4.
The bookmaker is also expecting to see The Luminites (2/5) and Robbie Kennedy (4/6) progress to the final from tonight's (May 30) show.
Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "Money talks, and as Bgt favourites often lose out on the night, we think Jack's fans could be on to a winner come Saturday evening."
Judge David Walliams recently tweeted of Carroll: "If I'd had the talent of @fatjacko at 14 (or even now) I would have desperately wanted to be on the show.
"#Bgt is a huge opportunity to launch a career, win a huge amount of money and perform before the Queen (Elizabeth not @SimonCowell)."
