Fans of the show were impressed by the performances of both acts, who they certainly hope to see once again in the show’s finale.

Nkululeko Innocent Masuku, 33, is a South African opera singer now based in London and one of the first two finalists.
He is a former member of the Cape Town Opera Studio, where he made his first public performance in a production of Porgy and Bess, which was set in Argentina and saw him perform the role of Crabman.
He then played the role of Borsa in Rigoletto and also played Tamino in The Magic Flute.
The tenor currently works at the Garsington Opera House, based near Oxford, and has performed in classes led by Maestro Kamal Khan and Willard White.
Innocent has been recognized for its work in the field with several awards, including an award of merit in the 2019 SAMRO competition, a Drake Calleja Trust award, and sponsorship of The Tillet Trust fund.
Although Innocent said the opportunities in London were “huge” at the time of his audition, he said he had faced rejection from several opera-based opportunities in the past.
However, he seemed to believe in his ability to reach the final from the start, when Simon Cowell asked him about his talent.
At his audition he performed a rendition of Lucio Dalla’s Caruso, in which fellow judge Alesha Dixon admitted she was “speechless”.
Chosen by the judges as the second act to advance to Sunday’s finals, Ssaulabi Performance Troupe is a Taekwondo group from South Korea.
Before their audition, the group stated that they were competing to show off the awesomeness of the martial art to the judges.
At their audition, the group performed a synchronized Taekwondo routine, which involved breaking bricks, performing a series of flying kicks in the air while breaking wooden boards, and two members of the group sparring with each other.
Commenting on the group’s exploits, Alesha said: “I can’t even imagine how much discipline, hard work and dedication it takes to achieve what you just did today.”
Alesha and Bruno Tonioli voted for them to reach the final, along with Amanda Holden, meaning Simon Cowell was not required to vote.

However, he later confirmed that he would have also voted for the martial arts group if necessary.
The group thanked the judges for their show of faith in them and added that they wanted to show “everything they had” in Sunday’s final.
Eight other contestants will perform each night in the week leading up to the final, and two acts from each night will make it through: one decided by public vote and the second decided by the judges.
