CROYDON trio Rough Copy are through to the semi-finals of the X Factor.
The boys leapt around the stage in delight after being the first act called by host Dermot O Leary on Sunday's live show.
They joined Sam Bailey and Nicholas McDonald, in having the most public votes and making it to the semi-finals next weekend.
The last place was also decided by the public, with Luke Friend and Tamera Foster receiving two votes each from the judges and the final place going to 'deadlock'.
Tamera - backed by her mentor Nicole Scherzinger and Gary Barlow - exited the show, having received fewer public votes than Luke.
Last week, Rough Copy were in the bottom two for the first time, staying in the competition at the expense of fellow Croydon singer Hannah Barrett.
This week, they have the music of the 1990s to thank for their progress.
On Saturday night's show, they performed a mash-up of Bobby Brown's Every Little Step and R Kelly's She's Got That Vibe, before taking on another R Kelly hit - I Believe I Can Fly - for their second song.
